lls_mutantOoooh yeah. Finally got to watch it. :) And wow, does it look good.
I agree that Sirius is... um, between the flaming head, the mustache, and the devil in the walls... does Steve Kloves have a major problem with Sirius talking like a normal person? He was pretty direct in the books. "Karakoff's a Death Eater." Personally, I've got enough faith in Gary Oldman that he still could have sounded pretty deranged saying that as "the devil is in the walls" or whatever. :P No more Steve Kloves after Goblet- YAY!
But aside from that, I am PSYCHED for this movie. For one, it will be the last movie I see in the theaters for a while, unless we can get the grandparents to take Toby while we go see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. GoF comes out November 18, and I'm due the 25th, so it'll be a close one. But more than that, I seriously think GoF will be the best of the movies so far- and probably of at least the next two, too. Not only have the kids grown up enough that they can act much better, but GoF has the plot that's really the most condusive to a movie. I know JKR didn't write it to become a movie (as evidenced by OotP, which I think will be harder to make a movie out of), but the Triwizard Tournament is a nice, linear plot that will make an ideal flick.
Add me to the Krum fan list. I don't think he's especially hot, but just when he pumped his fist and said "yes!" after his name came out of the goblet... that was so cool. I agree with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marauderthesn that the girl playing Fleur is pretty, but not quite veela pretty, but I wonder just how you would make someone veela-pretty. It would be hard. Maybe a little more sparkle, and her hair should be more silver, but hey. It still baffles me that there are people out there that are angry an Asian actress is playing Cho Chang. What other kind of actress would you get for a girl named Cho Chang? Honestly? And Katie Leung is EXTREMELY pretty- she's absolutely perfect for Cho. (I actually really like Cho and thought the poor girl really got a raw deal in fandom after OotP. No, she's not perfect, but Harry really screwed up too. And Hermione was right- poor Cho was really going through a LOT.) And Dumbledore actually sounding pissed at Harry... lovely. But what I'm DYING to see is how Daniel Radcliff and Rupert Grint handle the fight between Ron and Harry. Although that fight is hard to read sometimes, I absolutely love it in the books and would hate to see that goofed up.
It feels like this director continued in the same vein as Cuaron, which is great. I REALLY liked the feel of PoA, so the grittier, more realistic Hogwarts (y'know, for a magical school) really goes over well with me. The Beauxbatons carriage is awesome (especially Hagrid directing the way!), and the Durmstrang ship.... And I can't wait to see the dragon. And the scene with Voldemort's ressurection...
GoF has actually always been my favorite book of the six, narrowly edging out PoA and OotP. Harry-wise, it IS my favorite book, except maybe HBP. (I really liked Harry in HBP.) But I suppose, given that, it's no wonder I'm psyched for this movie! :)
