It's tough living in Harry's shadow??? Try being Voldemort...seriously, how could any self-respecting villain show his face at the pub when you've been beaten by a child. Seriously...Ron/Ruper should have been number one because he's loyal, smart, a true friend...there from the beginning, and will be there in the end...*sighs* Now that's a sidekick...

The only movie Emma Watson was in character...*doesn't bother to cross fingers for GoF* it's okay though because she's pretty...and that's a totally Hermione kind of line anyways...she's loyal to Harry too, and the brains of the outfit because heaven knows the boy's would be off doing something silly without her while Voldemort was stealing the prophecy.

That joke wasn't funny...considering those are the only roles they've played *trying to ignore Thunderpants* I haven't seen it but it doesn't look good...

Oh, btw Ottery's the Ultimate Otter Superhero and uhm Robin would be #3 best sidekick...*winks*

[quote=Truthfully, in the books I've never really thought of them as sidekicks, but I GUESS that's what they are (in the movie, anyway!).[/QUOTE]
My quote goofed, this was said by TomsLovelyLady


I agree, that is what I thought when I first saw the word 'sidekicks' used to describe Ron and Hermione. I really don't see them as such. I guess it's because I picture a 'sidekick' as a goofy character that hangs around the main guy making him look good, not a serious character on its own. I don't know, I just keep thinking "Holy smokes Batman!" - that's a sidekick. Ron and Herm. obviously have plenty of depth to their characters on their own and can be freestanding and interesting without Harry. Anyway, I guess I see them as really good friends and companions to Harry... I dunno.

Edit: PS: Ottery - I just noticed you made a Robin reference as well!

Thankfully there are more to sidekicks then Robin. lol See Samwise. See Ron Weasley. 'Nuff said.

LOL! No, really, Thunderpants isn't *that* bad. I mean, if you're looking for an extremelly intelligent film that you want to win oscars, then no, that's not TP. But if you don't mind a bit of a silly, cult classic film, then TP is for you. And Rupert? Positively brilliant. If anyone doesn't think Rupert can act, see that movie. You'll realize that the people doing HP are obviously doing something wrong for you not to see how brilliant Rupert is. :p

Crazy image in my head now:

Batman music playing in the background: Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

POW!!! ZAM!! EXPELLIARMUS!!

Ron: "Holy chocolate frogs Harry!!!"

Hermione: "I don't think we've seen the last of ......you know who..."

Harry: " Quick - to the Firebolt-mobile"

Sorry, couldn't help it!

yay go rupert!

yay congrats 2 them both. good 4 them!

LOL that rocks! Lmao they soo deserve it, haha.

Yay Emma!! and on her Birthday aswell!! congrats to both, there GREAT actors!!
Especially Emma!! she's cool!!

yay...go Rupert and Emma!

congrats to the both of them on being part of the greatest sidekicks! they're both fantastic sidekicks

Way to go!

Yeah, they should have been #'s 1 and 2; but im especially proud of Ron's recognition because honestly hes my favorite character of all the books and he has to take a lot of junk as he's shunted aside and he's so good about not being jealous.........oh what the heck im in love with him even though he's just a character from a book..........i guess that makes me a bit biased.........

Bad Lissydove *Ottery tries to scold as he laughs* I meant the comic book Robin, who is waaaaaaaaaaay cooler than the old 60's t.v. show Robin, **** Ward played *really he wasn't that bad, Ottery thinks* But that was too funny no to post...LOL.

*sighs* Well we are talking movie versions so...but comic book Robin's the coolest...really!

How did you know about Ottery's quest??? *laments that there aren't more movies like GWtW* but I digress...on purpose...and I don't know...some TP could win oscars...oh wait Thunderpants...sorry wrong TP...

Of course Rupert can act...that's why I'm hoping he does Driving Lessons...and HP as opposed to just HP. Still Driving Lesson's isn't likely to be a period piece or costume movie so it would be relatively quicker to film and release and he could probably still do HP. But here again I digress...on purpose...and Rupert is brilliant. But I haven't seen Thunderpants...TP yes...thunderpants no...

Very Cool, it would have been better if Ron came before Hermione. I like him more, lol

thats a good quote hermione. and good luck to both of you. you really portray your role.

Lol...naturally.. naturallly.....

All quotes from the article...
Capt. Renault wasn't a sidekick...he was that irrascible villain...

Since when is Ben Kingsley anyone's sidekick??? I swear how did they compile this? Name's from a hat...

Because the ballots weren't stuffed by the geek club I swear...I thought college students were supposed to be smart...

Eight pages...I sat through eight pages and I get this??? Seriously...okay so that guy from 'Ferris Bueler's Day Off' should have been in the top ten...but c'mon Sam Gamgee??? Frodo was the sidekick...didn't he have to drag his lazy bum all the way to the end??? Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh *Ottery fires all his cannons* Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!

they r both cool!i like them.

You crack me up.

& Thunderpants is bad, you're right. But it's not as bad as people make it out to be. It's funny because it kind of mocks itself by saying, "Yeah, this is all British film-makers can do," but Grint's performance in it will have you rolling on the floor in hysterics.

"With your gift and my genius, we'll rule the world!"

You're too sweet Marcella...

& I still want to watch Thunderpants...self mocking is good, and you know Emma, with your genius and my uhm...well I'm an otter, we could rule the world!!!!
