Casting sucks. That's all I want to say because I'm going to get angry if I write more, however, I will write more because I think that the casting director needs to be publicly humiliated and shot in the head.
Mad-Eye Moody - Looks STUPID. They made THE BIGGEST deal of his eye and how bright blue and bulging it always is and such and they COMPLETELY screw that up with an EYE PATCH. That's ridiculous. If they can make an AMAZINGLY computer generated house elf in movie two, I think that they can do something about that eye. Not to mention he's fat. Mad Eye Moody is supposed to be scrawny, and sort of look like Filch, but have something different, do you know what I mean? Casting directors should be MURDERED for picking this guy to play Moody.
Karkaroff- Not at ALL like I pictured him. I think he looks retarded and he needs to be thrown out of the film. I think they should let THE FANS pick them because it seems like we're the ONLY ONES WHO READ THE EFFING DESCRIPTIONS! WTF is wrong with these casting directors?
Fleur- No offense, she's a pretty girl, I'd love to look like her, but she's not pretty enough to play a VEELA. A Veela is supposed to make jaws drop, entrance people, she doesn't do that.
Krum- IS HORRIBLY CAST. I won't even go into this though. I just think he looks STUPID.
Cedric- AHH WTF HAVE THEY DONE TO HIM? Cedric Diggory is supposed to be hott. Cedric Diggory in the movie is NOT. He's doofy looking. Stupid Panda JERK.
I'm so sick of these movies. I HATE the casting. The movies LEAVE THINGS OUT, PUT STUPID THINGS IN, AND MOVE AROUND IMPORTANT PARTS! I HATE THEM.

Omgosh I SO TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, Tiff!
Ah, Fleur is a Veela, and she is supposed to turn heads. Not that the girl playing her is not pretty, but she is not PRETTY ENOUGH! She looks plain. Emma Watson looks prettier than her.
And Cedric is not hot. He looks lame. Tom Felton is much hotter than Diggory.

You know, tis funny. The characters who are supposed to be unattractive, are very attractive (Herm, Tom), and the characters who are supposed to be attractive, aren't. (Fleur, Cedric.) What has the damned world come to! I wouldn't mind Moody bein fat, if his eye wasn't STRAPPED TO HIS F*CKIN HEAD!!! Karkaroff is queer lookin, but I dont care so much about him. Cho is fine with me, she's pretty enough. Ron needs a haircut. Sirius needs re-cast So does Lupin. Rita's ok, I expected her green outfit to be less tight, and more like ROBES...but since they seem to have abandoned the whole robes idea in the movies, this isn't really a shock to me. I could go on and on....the movies are really starting to piss me off and this is just the CASTING I'm talking about...

It's not even casting that's the whole part either. They give all Ron's lines to Hermione and try to make her the spotlight. Almost all the time, people are wearing Muggle clothes. What's the point of being in a Wizarding movie if you're not LOOKING LIKE WIZARDS?
The casting is a whole nother issue that I COMPLETELY hate, but it's like, since movies one and two, it's gone to the dogs. It's just not a wizarding movie anymore. They're stupid and I hate them. And I'll still watch them a million times, but that's besides the point!

Grrrr, I hate what they did to Moody. He's awful looking and fake and ugh! The costumes are just too muggle! I mean the champions outfits look like baby jumpsuits to me! Anyone else?

I can't stand it. The costumes suck, the casting sucks, it's like, a movie for teeny boppers to find outfits on. Pretty soon Hogwarts will be in those best dressed magazines. It's down right ridiculous.
Did anyone notice once they changed directors, the movie took a turn for the worse? In movies one and two, casting was great, costumes were great, they followed the book, kept important things in, didn't add stupid pointless things, it was a WIZARDING movie. It wasn't just someone trying to make things look more fashionable and such. The first two were amazing. It's really gone down hill. I'll be intrested to see the difference in directors for movie 5 now.. It can't get any worse.. can it?

I hope not! I mean, at least there are some aspects to still look forward to, but now they're even talking about recasting- all except the trio, of course. Go figure.

I don't really see what's wrong with Lupin. I talked about this over at Beyond the Veil with another member, and Thewlis really isn't bad for the part, I'm actually rather fond of him. Rather then typing it all up I'm just pasting what I wrote over there "Hmmm, I love book and movie Remus. I don't think Thewlis made a bad Remus, I mean, I just a couple hours ago started rereading POA and David fits the description fairly well, I think anyway, and he definitely doesn't skeeve me! Sometimes his nose is a bit big in some pictures of him, but I rather like him. Especially during the interview with Gary Oldman <3 I've actually got Thewlis on my desktop right now, and on the family PC I've got Gary Oldman as my desktop lol But I think he did a really good job with it personally, I mean, I see people all the time posting about how they hated the casting but I (obviously) love it. see, not skeevy -->http://www.thewlis.spb.ru/photo/dt09.jpg See, (now you got me started lol) in the book the only thing I think people could argue is the young looking part. But think about it, Lupin is the same age as Snape, and Snape isn't young looking, and Lupin does look younger than Snape so he does fit it. And I like when his face is all scratched up. And his ragged clothes. And his sad smile. <3 so much love. image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Film/Pix/gallery/2004/05/19/lupin3.jpg" and again; "mmm true about the gray. It's a rather short description, "The stranger was wearing an extremely shabby set of wizard's robes that had been darned in several places. He looked ill and exhausted. Though he was quite young, his light brown hair was flecked with gray." and it's not a Hitler moustache! lol those are shorter and taller Lupins is too long and thin. I had a teacher at my school who had a Hitler moustache And Sirius is the one that is supposed to have "elbow length" hair, it doesn't say how long Lupin's is. And whenever they mention Lupin all they talk about is his ragged robes. *shrug* I just think he's adorable, especially with the chocolate Even Madame Pomfrey approves lol" and later still "true, poor Remus Yes, he does wear suits more often than not but when he is wearing his robe you can see that it isn't as nice. But then again, I don't even have to argue any of this on David's behalf seeing as how he wasn't in charge of make-up/costume design! This goes back to me saying how I liked Chris Columbus' work much better than Alfonso Cuaron's. And here I was getting all worked up for no reason lol That's actually very interesting that he doesn't wear robes seeing as how JKR focuses so much on them in the book. *is watching movie as we speak* You know, I've gone through all the parts with Lupin and Harry and I don't see him saying anything like that to Harry. Ah wait maybe here with the map... uh oh Harry's in trouble tee hee "Gambling their sacrifice by wandering around the hallways unprotected with a killer on the loose seems a pretty poor way to repay them." So he only said that because Harry is out walking around with everyone still thinking Sirius is trying to kill him, so that's why Lupin says it. He was reprimanding Harry and I don't think there was anything wrong with what he said, personally. but either way d**n Alfonso for changing the book so much!" So honestly I really don't think Lupin was badly cast *prepares herself for, well, everyone's remarks that yes he is*

I agree with you, I think he was cast well. He is exactly what I was imagining.
Yes, Alfonso changed the book too much and we should all get together and throw peanuts at him

I DO think Lupin was cast badly...but not quite as badly as Sirius.
he wasn't what I was expecting. I dind't picture the f-ed up moustache and idk what it is about his face but I just picture Lupin differently *Shrugs*...but Sirius is what pissed me off the worst. you have no idea. I wanted to strangle the casting director for taking in GARY FREAKIN OLDMAN! YUCK!
**
but yes I agree, GoF's casting is much worse and will be much more excruciating to watch in theatres. It's a shame and a disgrace to the books and I wish JK would step in, but no, she "thinks its really good"...idk how she can say that while they butcher her books...I bte she's only saying she likes the movies so others will agree with her and so the movies sell better.
