everyone is good!

See, I liked Luna in the movies. She was very pretty, but I was worried that they wouldn't find someone like Luna at all, so I was pleased that they were well over half way there. I always thought that Luna would be such a difficult character to cast, anyway.

Tough question.. I agree that they are all good... But I need to say in
Chamber of Secrets that Malfoy's character seemed to be acting too
old for his age... Especially when he is in Slytherin common room with
Crabbe and Goyle (Ron & Harry).. Don't get me wrong .. Tom Felton
is a great actor... and it shows in the other movies..

Yes, I totally agree on the thought that Luna would of been a difficult charater to cast. The only acting I must of dispised through out the films (so far) is Daniel's fake crying in POA.

shaken baby syndrome!

I think Richard Harris was suitable for Dumbledore; for me he looked quite as ancient as he should have looked. Dumbledore was over a hundred when he died.

Ditto. I'm sorry everyone, but Dan is considered the worst for me too. Like you said, he not emotional enough. His expressions are sometimes too blank. That crying scene in PoA....*cringes*...I just felt awkward when that part came. It look and sounded so fake. I didn't feel the "caps-lock-Harry" in OotP,but I admit he is getting a bit better, but it's taking FOREVER!

And Emma's a close second. Sorry. But she's not a Hermione. *sigh* But that's Hollywood....glamorize everything.

I don't like the dude who plays Dumbledore. He's just too...not like the character. He's too loud and sharp and he can't scream without his voice cracking up.

I also don't like the lady who played Professor Umbridge. She was too, pretty looking. I mean she looked nothing like the way JK desribed her. But admitedly, she did play the part well. She just didn't look it.

I have two as well.

Harry's parents for one, they were, in fact too old. JKR said that Harry's parents were like really young (20 ish) not 37 or 40 (which is what they did look like)

Also I don't really like the new Albus, the one who did the first two was more happy and more..... well Albus like. Unlike the new Dumbie who is WAY too serious, he should tone it down a little after all he is playing the most frekin cheerfull wizard in the books!

I think they seriously messed up with most of the new casting in GoF, especially with Karkaroff and Viktor Krum. It wasn't even their looks that were way off-canon, but their portrayal of the characters. Totally wrong.

Then again, given the rest of GoF, I suppose it's not a big surprise...

i think most of the actors are good but they need a different cho chang, she is a horrible actress and she delivers her lines kinda sucky.

I agree with you! There only ment to be 21! The actors look like there in there 30's or something!

I loooveee all of them.
They're brilliant in my opinion.

I have to say that because I watched the movies first and then read the book its really hard for me to say....but the james and Lilly in OotP are ridiculous!! First of all the Weasely's are supposed to be quite a bit older than the Potter's but when they show the pic of the original OotP they look darn near the same age.........Stupid and not at all thinking were they!! So if your listening power's that be you really need to work on the re-cast before the 7th movie when they all appear to help Harry walk into the Forbidden Forrest and face Voldemort. Cause from every logic I know you don't age when you die......otherwise the hogwarts ghosts would have to look positively ancient!!

As of the last few movies it is definately Emma Watson, which is a pity because she was so good in the first movie.
What happened? Was it the scripts or her interpretation of the character?
All I know is that her performance as Hermione spoils the last three movies for me.

The guy that plays Mad-Eye-Moody is SOOO FAAAR from what I thought his charecter was. The looks are so far off, his magical eye is strapped on?? WHAT??? Never said that in the books I'm almost sure.

plus he tries to be way to funny and Moody is one of the most businesslike charecters in the book. Horrible casting there in my opinion.

the guy that plays Dumbledore now is pretty back too. I liked the guy in PS and CoS a ton more.

No offence, but Katie Leung (Cho Chang) and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), were just too wrong for their parts. Katie Leung can't talk properly (and I'm not saying that because she has a Scottish accent) and I think Bonnie Wright can't play up the part of fiery temptress Ginny (in HBP, when she was dating all over the place).

I agree that Lily and James look too old in the movies, and James's hair looks really light. Seeing as they don't appear too much and aren't major parts, they wouldn't be my #1 worst.

That spot I'm afraid has to go to...*drum roll*...Michael Gambon! He is nothing like Dumbledore. I just want to shake him like he did Harry in GoF and say, "This is acting. You need to ACT like Dumbledore!" (Ugh, plus that goofy hat and wearing his beard in a ponytail. 'Nough said.)

I realy dont like the new Dumbledore ya know?
he looks to young and his voice is to loud he needs to sound like Dumbledore
he is worst than a man playing a woman

Emma Watson - I just ... *sigh* I don't think she's that good of an actress. And she's too emotional for Hermione for me. I dunno. Something's off.
Gary Oldman - I always pictured Sirius looking younger, even though he would be, what? in his mid-40s? I dunno. I love Gary Oldman, I think he's great, but I just don't love him as Sirius. Sirius is my favorite character and I have him pictured a VERY specific way and Gary Oldman just doesn't fit it.
Daniel Radcliffe - I don't think he can act at all. So sue me. I love him, but ... eh. Just not as Harry Potter.
Michael Gambon - He's too ... eager to play Dumbledore. But I don't think the first actor (name is slipping my mind) played Dumbledore well, either. He wasn't too attached to the character whereas I think Gamdon is too attached to Dumbledore ... lol. I dunno, maybe I'm just picky.

And I agree with Lily and James Potter. They just don't fit at all.

I really didn't like who they cast to play Ms. Figgs in OoTP. The movie version actress just didn't match the book at all!

I also agree about Lily & James Potter.
