1. Which character do you actually prefer the movie version of?
I prefer Movie!McGonagall to Book!McGonagall, actually. Maggie Smith gives her a naughtiness that you don't get from the books. I like that.

2. Which character do you usually love, but dislike his or her movie portrayal?
Oh God. Movie!Ron. He's my favourite character, but the movies have just turned him into this barely-competent, "OMGWTFSCARED" sidekick. It really pisses me off.

3. What is your favorite moment/line/etc. added to the movies that doesn't show up in the books?
In GoF, when Filch is running up and down the Great Hall. Cracked me the frak up. I don't remember that bit in the book.

4. In a perfect world, ________ would play _________.
In a perfect world, Cate Blanchett would play Narcissa Malfoy. I think she could hold her own with Jason Issacs!Lucius, and it would be delicious to watch them together. XD

5. What is your overall opinion of the movies?
Meh. Visually, each movie gets better and better. I don't like the character development (or lack thereof) in the movies, the addition of random!characters (Does anyone know who that black boy in Divination class was? Anyone?) and how they KEEP GIVING RON'S LINES TO HERMIONE.

Yeah. That last bit irks the hell out of me.

We don't know all the students at Hogwarts, so I'm sure there's some random students that say stuff sometimes ^_^

True dat, true dat... *nods*

But you know the kid I'm talking about. Who is he?

Who?! :p

[roseofjuly]

LMAO, I know exactly who you're talking about, and I was wondering the same thing :D

"..." "Who invited THAT kid?"

[freakydork]

They did the same thing with LotR. But that dude in the Divination class had more lines than characters that were actually talking in the books and that bothered me a bit.
