This is a comprehensive thread for all discussions about the casting for the final two films. Following are links to previous, individual discussions:

Lavender Brown Casting

Character Cuts

Bill in the HbP and DH -movie

More character castings

Helen McCrory as Narcissa Malfoy

Michael Gambon Would Make A Really Good Aberforth


So, what do you all think about the news that's come out so far? Good? Bad? Ugly? Does this bode ill for the upcoming installments, or do you think WB will be able to carry it off?

I'm of the opinion that they are professionals and that any decisions they make wether we like them or not are done for a reason. And as agreed apon by JK before she even let them get their paws on the rights to the films, any decisions they make on the films must be run by her first. So, she has allowed these changes that they make. So, if the author is ok with it there must be a reason behind it.

I'll happily discuss castings in this topic now, I was thinking of asking if just a Casting topic should be made and stickied (covering, casting as in Ron or as in Lavender, basically your views on the casting generally) but this works too!

<_< Ok, lets see, I have a long oppion on this one, I think that Frank ( If the link the other person sent me is right) shouldnt play voldy as frank had brown hair and blue eyes, I cant remember what colour eye J.K said, but in my opion he should have dark eyes, and I supose he can die his hair. Helen McCroy just needs a bit of blonde hair die and I suppose she would be ok, I pictured her more beautiful, but I still think that thye casting group did a great job. I am so dissapointed with Jessie Cave (Lavender) as she is totally wrong for the part, in my opion. Look at her! Can you picture her snogging Rupert, ummmmmm NO! I am totally disgusted! I dont knwo what Hero looks like yet, so I cant comment

Actually I can imagine it. I think she will be great. Even thou it pains me to think of my darling Rupert with another woman It's for the cause of HP so it's okay. Just as long as she stays away from the Phelps there will be no problems.

I think it will actually make a lot sense for them to have Tonks and Lupin be THE couple in DH. They probably think (and are correct) that it would be too confusing to non-book readers to suddenly introduce Ron's eldest brother and then throw Fluer in there. Back when GOF was scripted (the first book we meet Bill in), HBP wasn't even out yet, so they had no idea there would be a wedding to contend with come DH, let alone Shell Cottage. I prefer this, actually, because I wanted so badly to see more of Lupin and Tonks in the book than we did. So, Bill/Fluer lovers will have the book and Tonks/Lupin lovers will have the movie!

Sorry guys... i'm not from the U.K so i will make some grammatical mistakes!
My opinion:
OK!!
I don't think that Helen Mccrory will be a great Narcissa Malfoy....
Perhps she will act good ( i heard that she is very talented), but i don't see her as my favourite character... I've imagined her differently...
Don't think I'm rude....I'm just a little dissapointed...
BUT! maby she is so talented that i will see her as Narcissa... We have to wait...

I completely agree that Michael Gambon would have been much better suited to Aberforth and not Albus. The casting I've been most pleased with so far is Lavender Brown and that's because I think the actress looks beautiful and since she's had some acting experience previously and Rupert seems to like her, it all bodes well for the future, in my opinion. The others that have been cast I'll just have to wait and see a clip of their performance to see if I like them or not. I don't really know any of them.

Half Blood Prince Castings and a Re-Cast!

Cormac McLaggen will be played by Freddie Stroma. Louis Cordice will play Blaise Zabini, Katie Bell, is being played by Georgina Leonidas also Isabella Laughland will play her friend Leanne. Romilda Vane will be played by Anna Shaffer and Robert Knox will play Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby.

Cormac - Good Casting, handsome, got the sort of 'wannabe champion' look to him I suppose.
Blaise - Nice casting, the shaved eyebrow I hope will not be put into the character, but I like his casting.
Katie - Furious. I loved the old actress. .__. Lavender first, now Katie?
Leanne - No Picture, No comment.
Romilda - No Picture, No comment.

Marcus - Gah, I wish these would have been casting auditions, I fit this description "Belby who was thin and nervous-looking." perfectly, I'm thin and I'd be nervous looking on set sitting with the cast and stuff. ><; Blar. I'm so desperate to get into the movies, that not casting Marcus makes me sad. ;_;
