"Fantasy Adventure. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.”

Thanks for the thread Kristi!

Yeah, I heard about the Watts rumor, but Nicole wouldn't have gotten the role since she is from Australia instead of the UK.

I'm glad they keep all English actors in HP. It really gives the film an original feeling. It keeps the film away from Hollywood glamour, but in a good way. And they do have many fine actors in UK.

Who you would like to see as Grindelwald?

Kgose · 01-25-2009, 05:54 PM

I didn't really hear about Nicole. Just the Naomi Watts one. Your welcome Kevin.

Well, beside as Slughorn I picture Bob Hoskins as Gindelwald.

KJJ1588 · 01-25-2009, 06:21 PM

Even British actors get a blast of Hollywood glamour.

I pictured Peter O'Toole, or Christopher Lee for Grindelwald after I started seeing Gambon as Dumbledore.

Kgose · 01-25-2009, 06:24 PM

Peter O'Tool is a good choice and I wouldn't mind Christopher Lee.

KJJ1588 · 01-25-2009, 06:27 PM

I figured he had to be played by a frail old man, since Grindelwald is 115 and has been in prison for 50 years. Peter can pull it off especially.

Kgose · 01-25-2009, 06:31 PM

True. I guess I was thinking about a younger Ginderwald for Bob Hoskins.

Wonder if we're going to get teenage Grindelwald and Dumbledore as well in DH. And I don't mind Peter O'Toole or Christopher Lee too.

KJJ1588 · 01-25-2009, 06:58 PM

This is good for a DH discussion thread.

Yeah, let's go back to HBP.

I can't wait for the poster to be here. And hopefully we get lots of promotional pics. A Harry/Ginny promotional pic will be nice too

Though doubt we get it. It's not Twilight anyway.

Kgose · 01-25-2009, 08:08 PM

I'm hoping for at least one HBP poster to be Quidditch themed.

Now that would be awesome!

Kgose · 01-25-2009, 08:22 PM

Ron, Harry, and Ginny in their Quidditch gear. That would be freaking awesome.

And a little of Cormac. I hate McLaggen's guts but the guy who played him is sure cute!
