Yeah, this is true, because 54 weeks will be longer and harder work. But I think they should be proud to themself. I wish good luck to cast and crew.

I think by the “blue eye thing” Confederate Lady mentions is that in some interviews and photos, Dan Radcliffe has extremely radiant blue eyes. They just kind of leap out at you. By the way – I also saw in the theater news that he won Broadway.com’s Star of the Year – congratulations. In the interview on that site, they asked a number of Broadway stars what their New Year’s resolutions were and Dan again said it was to make the next Harry Potter film the best ever. Just what I want to hear!

Confederate Lady, I agree minor characters won’t be announced until much later. However, if the Xeno’s scene is kept in, I can’t imagine he’d be considered a minor character. We were hearing rumors of who was playing young Tom Riddle months before the filming of HBP. I’m just saying I’m surprised we’ve heard such little news about the film, considering it starts filming a couple months from now.

That’s nice to hear, but with Steve Kloves writing I can’t see that happening. He’ll find a way to totally misinterpret the trio (especially Hermione) again.

I will be so pissed off if they mess up the movies again. Do u think Dan can convince Emma and Rupert to work harder also?

I don’t think kloves has any bearing on how commited dan will be. As to rupert and emma, i’m sure they have good work ethics but i’ve never heard them comment on this. It will be a tougher shoot for them as they’ll be in it almost as much as dan, they’ll have to keep up. It is emma i’m worried about, she’s ruined so many scenes for me.

Nice. We want you to work hard to Dan.

Miriam – what scenes has emma disappointed you in? I dont mind her really. I think it will be tough for her to be ‘mushy’ towards rupert as they seem friends in real life. I’m really looking forward to Tom Felts giving the performance of his life in 6 & 7. Also – love the Neville.

I hope Ginny steps up to the plate. She has been a disappointment to me (acting wise) mind you she hasnt been given hardly any script to work with – they are so focused on the trio.

Bellatrix, most scenes in which emma has had exposition in films 4&5, she is overly emphatic and dramatic when it’s not necessary. Her opening scene in hp5 was terrible and there are many others. So i’m a little worried, even in ballet shoes she was weak.

I never claimed otherwise. However, a bad script (which is what destroyed PoA and GoF) means a ruined movie, and no commitment from the actors can change that.

Will, POA was the most critically acclaimed of the series, you may not like it but a lot of people do. Perhaps you should differentiate between a bad film and a film you dislike. If you don’t like the films then don’t watch.
