I will probably be hated for this, but I don't think Hermione was particularly well cast. I think Emma Watson is far too pretty for a start, and also lacks the maternal characteristics in my opinion.

Worse than Emma, however, would have to be the twins. If the films were trying to have their own spin on the stories, fair enough. If they were trying to portray the characters in the books, those twins in the films are the polar opposites of Fred and George: physically, mentally, nothing is the same. Even if I hadn't read the books, those two would still annoy the hell out of me, which is a shame because I LOVE Fred and George from the books.

I love Alan Rickman and his portrayal of Snape, but it's personally not how I pictured him. Oh well.

Ginny is AWFUL in the films. She's so wooden and her acting is SO forced. Ginny is supposed to be witty and fiesty, Bonnie Wright is really trying but it definitely doesn't come naturally.

I'm aware that as an onlooker it's so easy for me to judge, and I probably couldn't do a better job in any of these roles. They're just my outsider's perspective.

I hate katie leung as cho because there's nothing in the books about her being Asian.

j k rowling said she was meant to be asian

First of all, you just sounded racist.
Second: Dude, the girl is called "Cho Chang". How could she NOT be an asian girl? o.O Because it is an Asian name ^^" xD

I think, the worst cast actor is Helen McCrory, who played Narcissa. What's happened with her hair, guys?! She's Malfoy and she has to be blonde! Well, probably it doesn't concern her play, but I was really shocked at her look!

Yeah, I imagined her with blonde hair, too. But hey, as long as Lucius and Draco are blonde ...;D

It just reminds me so much of A Very Potter Musical where they have Cho Chang be a girl from the south, haha. But yeah, I don't think I ever imagined Cho not being asian in the books or the movies!

I couldn't imagine anyone else playing any of the characters now but I'm still slightly upset at most of the adult castings because they're all far too old. At least they are all good actors though so it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it could have done.

Edit: I forgot Ginny. It's a shame, she wasn't so bad in the first two films but she got worse and worse as she went on. She's just so wooden and stiff, it's like she can't show any emotion at all.

I havent read the books so to me they are all well cast. They are the only characters I know. The only one I can say I have not been impressed with is Bonnie Wright. Her acting is mediocre and her relationship with Harry was weak on screen.

Ah, have you seen it?
I want to see it, too.
Too bad I live in germany D:

Personally I didn't really like the second Dumbledore.. I just don't think he had the gentleness that the book character had. I think the first one, may he rest in peace, did a much better job portraying Dumbledore.

I agree about Ginny.

Also hated hermione. And the twins.

Not to sound mean or anything but you said that what RupertsLil'Princess said sounded racist but what you just said was a million times worse. Just saying.

I do agree with you on the age part but you have to remember that when they were casted for the parts they were the ages of the characters that they played. its just took so long to make the movies that they grew up and past their characters age.

And you are right i cant imagine anyone else playing those roles

I strongly agree with this. I thought the original actor portrayed it well in a kind and caring manor. When we were introduced to the knew actor he came off immediately harsh, not necessarily mean or villainess, but definitely not how the true Dumbledore I imagined to act. However, throughout the rest of the movies he began to grow on me and I learned to not mind his manor.**Besides the Dumbledore disappointment the actress who portrayed Ginny was a great let down, what a shame. =(

I mostly have problems with the main cast!
First cast problem; Daniel Radcliffe.. He looks PERFECT for Harry (despite the blue eyes) but his acting is so.. stiff. He potrays no emotion whatsoever which I don't understand as OOC he has such a BIG personality! Also, that POA crying moment, makes me cringe everytime! It just seemed like he was just trying too hard and then the heavy breathing at the end of it, *sigh* hahahaha!
Second cast problem; Emma Watson.. Don't get me wrong, she's an amazing girl OOC but as of acting skills.. no. I loved her in PS as she LOOKED like the perfect Hermione (bushy hair) and acting seemed like it came naturally to her but after that her lines sounded too well rehearsed and made her seem kind of annoying..
Third cast problem; Bonnie Wright.. She is just a HORRIBLE actress in all honestly, she is so awkward at times that it's hard for me to watch her. She looks the part but she just can't act. They could of done a lot better with her casting.
Fourth cast problem; Michael Gambon.. He is actually a good actor and looks the part but he just doesn't fit as Dumbledore. As many have said before, he is just too agressive somehow although that may not be his fault.

I also disagree with Alan Rickman as a poor Snape as I think he's incredible! His voice really lures you in into what he's saying, it's brilliant! I also disagree to whoever is saying Tom Felton is a poor Draco, he's got the perfect look, the perfect attitude and the perfect personality to go with it!

Of course, the name is Asian to me, I expected her to be Asian.

Since she just married a Malfoy her hair might have been any color. I wondered if the blond/black was magically enhanced. Is that even possible? Well of course it must be. It's magic.

Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. Even without comparing his acting to Richard Hariss's acting, he was just not as enthusiastic, and a little too glum.

I think expectations and the way the characters are portrayed in the script can get in the way, so I disagree with most of the names being mentioned.

The casting that could've been better in my opinion was Mrs. Figg. I'm not faulting the actress, but she wouldn't have done as well with the portrayal of Mrs. Figg in the book, and that's the one that would've kept up the intensity, and added to the scene instead of slowing it down.

I wouldn't really say what they said was racist. It wouldn't be racist if I said that Emily was an English name, would it?

The name "Cho" is a Chinese name, and "Chang" is a Chinese surname, so it's not really racist to say that Cho Chang sounds Asian

i would say kingsley and bellatrix's husband
