I admit it is a little harder without the bright red hair but still. ♥
I don't know, maybe Alan is busy or doesn't like it? Because he's a up there on the credible British actors list as the other older men, but I admit Gary Oldman is GUH (not that Rickman isn't) and overpowers the pages that he needs more. ;)
I was more talking about the actors of course, not the characters getting media time.
In actor wise I go. (From top of my list to bottom) Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, David Thistle (but I love them all).
Character wise- (Movie) Remus, Snape, Sirius, Pettigrew. (Books) Sirius, Snape, Remus, Pettigrew. (Though in the books the first three are pretty much even for me)
Hee, it does get a bit confusing. I admit to not knowing a lot of actors name so I end up saying 'Sirius' instead of...er...*spies your comment* Gary Oldman!
You like Timothy over David? I'm so shallow, I put him at the bottom 'coz he's the least attractive...(to my eyes) *headdesk*
It's interesting your order changes depending on book/movie! Is it because of changes in the way they're depicted or the amount of screentime they get? I tend to take the characters as combined movie/book, so there's not as much of a split with me. Except that Ron, Harry and R/Hr are way better in the movies. IMO! :P
I don't/didn't know David much he's the least known to me (as in I don't remember seeing him in anything else).
Timothy is an interesting actor, he gets really interesting parts because of his looks I think. I haven't seen enough of David to fangirl over him and I don't fangirl over Spall either.
Probably a little of both? I liked Sirius and then realised I like him more in the books and Remus in the movies is adorable and so overshadows everyone else for me. ;)
I generally just go character 'overall' but thought i'd list 'em.
I am soooo terrible with Brit actors. I haven't seen any of them in anything aside from HP!
OMG, I just imdb'd Timothy Spall- he was the voice of Bayard in Burton's Alice! That is so cool! And he was in Lemony Snicket. I lied, unknowingly.
Wow, Gary's been in a lot of high-profile films. I'll keep an eye out for him whenever I get around to seeing Red Riding Hood- OMG. *shrieks*
He- he was Mason Verger in Hannibal?! :O
I have to stop IMDB'ing. I can't handle the shocks. Whoa. O.o
'twas interesting the way you listed them, I hadn't ever really thought about differences between movie/character, so hmm. Ron for sure comes up higher in my list of likes 'coz of the movies, they def make him more endearing to me. Rupert Grint is such a superstar. ^_^
They always just pop into one show thing from the next!
Yep. I forgot he was in A Series of Unfortunate Events but yes, he was. :)
Yes, Gary has, hence the fanbase. XD
I haven't seen Hannibal but... yes? :P
IMDB always surprises and reminds people of actors in things doesn't it? *g*
I don't know, I just found that Sirius wasn't as awesome as I thought he was in the books... *shrugs* And yes, Grint plays Ron very well, almost too well to be Ron. ;P
They always just pop into one show thing from the next
They do seem to pop up everywhere! I guess small acting pool so they get called up a lot? (not as small as the Burton acting pool, though. COME ON. I like HBC but srsly, yet another movie she's starring in with Johnny Depp? I'd like to see him with other people for a change, JS)
I still have a grudge against Emily Browning for being so cool and having Hollywood at her feet and all these important people clamoring to work with her- then walking away from it to be an 'ordinary student' (WHY EVEN ACT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT, FFS) and then returning with crappy movies like Sucker Punch. Ugh.
I was like Burton? Where's that. Then I realised you meant Tim Burton when Depp was mentioned etc. XD Yeah, I haven't seen The Tourist yet...
Oh. Yes, I see...(though perhaps I'd rather not...)
I don't know. I really liked him at first, but there was something off in the portrayal or actor, and now I saw movie!Remus it made me realise that for me Sirius could have been better (don't ask me how! IDEK! I know they did a pretty good job regarding the book but I still didn't like him as much...yeah maybe a jerk)
Yeah, the Rupert/Ron thing confuses me. xD
Haha, what about that 'OMG KISS NOW IN CASE WE DIE' type of kiss? (Not that I think Ron & Hermione deserved one of those type much because they hadn't even talked about their feelings and obviously no build up like in Castle of longing glances...)
YOU'RE KIDDING ME. Those are the twins? For serious? *squints* I...totally don't see it! I mean, first off, the hair, obv. But...wow. Even knowing and looking now, I still can't...huh... *polishes glasses* Nope. Thanks for cluing me in!
I'm hoping it's because he's busy or something. I'd hate to think that these guys get all the photo opps and he's not invited to participate. I always used to get so annoyed that so many minor characters got tons of photos for DH and older movies and Snape would have like, one or two, but if it's his choice, that'd be all right.
You find Gary Oldman attractive? *considers* Hmm, he doesn't do it for me, but different people, different tastes. ^_^
I wonder why James Potter isn't there. I mean, James and Lily and Sirius appear to Harry as his Suicide cheer squad, so it's odd that they have The Marauders without James. Maybe the actor was unavailable?
Nope it says it right there in the corner also the Phelps brothers! XD
Yeah. But I doubt they'd not invite him.
Kinda. But I know a LOT of people do/did from his younger years/films. He's got a MASSIVE following from them. Not necessarily HP people that like him...
I don't think those two matter too much unless they did an feature on Harry himself. They might be in the movie/book but hardly visible overall...
D'oh. *facepalm* I didn't read that! (obv) It's hard for me to read the writing on these articles so I didn't even bother. OMG, I'm one of THOSE people, the ones that 'read' for the pictures. ACK.
True, true. In which case...Alan, I love you, but I wish you would think about fans a little more, damn it! We're never going to have HP again, this is IT, it's OVER and DONE WITH and you can't bloody well pose for a FEW PHOTOS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Lol. Entitled fanbrat shrieking over.
I'm a bit clueless on a lot of actors- unless they're celebs or from something I like, IDK anything about them. I've no idea what else Gary's in. It's nice for his fanbase that he's getting some of the spotlight, then. ^_^
I don't think those two matter too much unless they did an feature on Harry himself
Yeah, like, I wouldn't expect James and Lily or one or the other, I just thought it was odd that this is a shot titled The Marauders, a band of four, the most prominent member was James Potter, who happens to be the hero's father...and he's not in it. So
( ... )
Heh it is a bit hard. But I recognised them and made myself try to read the name to check. *g*
*sigh* Alan be a bit more media savy and give us some pics ey?
The Marauders, a band of four, Yeah I get that odd feeling too. But in the movie unless they had done it with a lot of Marauder flashbacks he's not really *there*.
You have shamed me but good. In the future I shall keep an eye out for such info to save myself the embarrassment!
LOL, that's it. Promote more, Alan! I seem to remember a bunch of fans being sad/upset he didn't turn up to premiers and such, lol. He's not into the publicity angle, I guess!
I always twitch a bit when 'enemies' are in the same photo. Like, Wormtail was never chilling with Lupin and Sirius, so this photo weirded me out on that level. And omg, the pic of Bellatrix kissing Harry?! :O BIZARRE. (incidentally, I can't wait to see Emma in Bellatrix's outfit- so hot)
That's okay, I probably wouldn't have recognised them if they hadn't come out here for the Hubwarts Convention to be honest... (not that I went to that)
Ah, you remember fans being upset about that, I guess that's more than a possibility now you mention that. He probably goes to see a *different* movie with his family or friends instead of 'show blitzy' glamour walk. ;)
Haha, yeah, but they only mean it in the sense that they were kind of on the same side. lol
So...you didn't go but you recognized them? Or you recognized their names 'coz you read about them coming here for Hubwarts? I'd prob have realized who it was if I'd read their names or at least gone 'yeah, that sounds familiar'.
So weird that they've both dyed their hair. I assume they both dyed their hair, rather than being naturally dark-haired and going red for the movies.
ETA. Whoops, nope! Just googled and found this, so I'm totally wrong. I guess it was easier to find twins of any hair color who could act and were charismatic enough to play the characters than to restrict it to redheads only
( ... )
Both! :P I recognized their pictures/self, and when I read the names I was sure I was correct because I knew their names from seeing them listed for the con. :)
Yeah, it was some weird jurisdictional thing Hm, odd that. But whatever floats his boat.
Haha, I...don't think he is? *shrugs* He and Emma Thompson are cute, though I'd have to let Hugh Laurie have a fistie cuff with Alan or maybe they all just move in together, because reallly...
