A Movie Confession....

[scatteredlogic]

I have a confession to make. I'm an HP fan, but I'm not necessarily an HP movie fan. In fact, some of you may consider it a sacrilege, but I haven't seen any of the HP movies since Goblet of Fire. Oh, I've seen clips here and there, but a full movie? No. When Order of the Phoenix was released, I'd intended to go, but I just never got around to

I'm a cheery soul. I like the books. I like the film. I lilke Rickman Snapey. I like Lucius. Goblet of Fire was just overrun with totty.

I'm easily pleased, all rumours to the contrary.

I do like Jason Isaac's Lucius. In fact, he's the only Lucius I can see now. I think he just nailed the supercilious note that was needed for that character. But I have problems with the portrayals of the Black sisters. ~shrug~ At least from the pics and clips I've seen.

There is no other Lucius, bless him

Cissa was shit, but that's fine because she's clearly all wrong for Lucius. I liked Bella. Nicely batshit.

Essentially I go for the cream of British acting in supporting roles, rather than the three kiddies. I mean, Filch is one of our finest Shakesperean actors.

I can't stand New!Dumbles though. Shit diction.

No, there really isn't.

It was her hair in the pictures I saw. What on earth were they thinking? ~shakes head~

Yes! In all the clips, I've had to watch them repeatedly just to try to understand what Gambon was saying.

Dead Badger hair. SHakes head.

I've seen him live, and he doesn't improve. Not one bit. I don't know why he's supposed to be a great actor. Harris was much better. Though Peter OToole would have been fabulous. He could do dotty but evil rather WELL. Though then I would have fancied Dumbles and been scarred for life

Oh, he would have been terrific as Dumbledore, and yes, he'd have been able to manage dotty but dangerous brilliantly. Fancying Dumbles would have been understandable - if scarring - under those circumstances. ;P

I'm with shiv!
