They'd better keep everything it that whole phase of chapters pretty much (from the time they all go under the Whomping Willow to the time Lupin turns Wolfy and Wormtail runs off) EXACTLY how it is and not exclude anything or I'm going to be SO dissappointed [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Yes I also love that hug moment- will be great to see on screen!!

I know. That's my one concern about the movie, really. I'm generally pretty philosophical about the changes from the book to the movie. It happens, I know it's going to happen, and the book version is almost always better. I accept these things going in to the movie. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] But that is one of my favorite scenes ever in a book, and I really want them to show it the way it was written. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] Guess we'll see.

OMG, I finally saw the new trailer, and I saw the werewolf. EEK! I guess I was hoping for a cute, cuddly, fuzzy Oz-like werewolf....or something. That just....freaked me out!

Anyone else disturbed by this, or am I just a freak?

Haven't seen it yet. But I've been hoping for it to not be an Oz-type werewolf, because, while I absolutely adored Oz, I never really liked the werewolf special effects. Haven't seen the Remus one, though, so can't comment on it.

well I know changes will be made from book to film- they have to- I am just very protective of that phase of chapters (all about my Sirius mostly...)

I agree Oz's wolf was very cheesy- particularly earlier on, Lupin's wolf is very CGIish to me though, but a scary CGI....

Yeah, Lupin's wolf is definitely creepy. I was hoping he'd look a bit more, you know, wolf-ish, but then again, he IS a werewolf.

I think the first scene I think of him is either the chocolate-on-the-train scene or the boggart-in-the-wardrobe scene. And yay, we get both!

Hey, what do you guys think of David Thewlis? I hope he's all right - I somehow always pictured Lupin to be more, well, attractive.

[img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] You aren't the only one thinking that...when my friends saw who was playing Lupin they all said the same thing...
I guess he really doesn't fit my image of Lupin at all, but I think acting-wise he'll be really good. I pictured Lupin as younger-looking, but a face tinged w/ age...but I also think Snape should look younger as well. Lupin, Snape, Pettigrew, and Sirius are all supposed to be around 36 or so aren't they? I think I read that somewhere. So I guess they really couldn't have Lupin looking really young and Snape looking quite a bit older than him.

YES! I was thinking more wolfish, too.

Yeah, I was thinking more along he lines of attactive myself....totally not my image of him. Someone once put the thought in my mind of Anthony Stewart Head as being Lupin-ish, and that has stuck with me, so....yeah....

Scary werewolf, huh? You guys are getting me a bit apprehensive.

Still, while I never really thought about it that way (for some reason, not sure why exactly), I guess the werewolf should be really scary. I'm curious to see this trailer now.

It's not so much that it's scary, it's just... weird, I guess. Like, computer-animated weird. I don't really think it fits in with all the other stuff the HP creators have come up with. It's skin doesn't look like fur, it looks like, well... grey skin. Too bad.

You're right about it looking like grey skin...

I found a pic of him as a werewolf...

Was just thinking of something....one of the OWLS question was how to distinguish a werewolf from a regular wolf (or something along those lines) Right? Wouldn't that, then, imply that a werewolf looks more...well, wolfish?

It doesn't look very wolfish, it is kinda freaky though, I think the Oz warewolf in Buffy was better.

Hey! [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img]

The wolf does look a little weird. Like a cartoon almost and it doesn't really even look like a wolf. More like a dog. Oh well I guess.

Hmm, yeah, gotta say that's not at all how I imagined the werewolf either. Wonder how it's going to look in actual action in the movie.
