HARRY POTTER MOVIES: Your favorite actor or actress

Me.

I liked Richard Harris, although the character of Dumbledore is so great that it gave Harris a bit of an advantage. I also like Alan Rickman who plays Preofessor Snape, and Robie Coltrane as Hagrid.

I like them all. That's one of the many things I have liked about the Potter films. The casting for every role seems to be perfect. Alan Richman as Prof Snape. The three kids. Malfoy. Kenneth Branaugh in #2. Emma Thompson in the new one. It's like once I see the movie, I think the role was already written with (that person) in mind. I know they're geared for a bit younger demographic. But I loved the books, I've liked both movies. I can't wait for the new one.

Even with Dumbledore switching actors due to Richard Harris' death, I think it will be seamless.

I wish it could be worked out that the three kids and Malfoy continue with their role through all films. I mean, unless they grow beards and get bald, please figure it out! I don't want to see other actors playing Harry, Hermione, or Ron. Even Malfoy. Same guy.

hey buffy,

just wondering...i'm a little outta of it. Who is Kenneth Branaugh and Emma Thompson? Who did they play?

Also, who is out to see the new movie this weekend?!

I saw Gary Oldman interviewed on his role as the "villain" in the next film opening Friday. From what he has described it looks to me like he could be the best characterization yet.

Who is Kenneth Branaugh? He made what was likely the best of the Shakespeare films "Henry IV."

Emma Thompson was recently the angel in "Angels in America" miniseries on HBO.

ahhh...i see

also, does any1 know who is the girl playing Cho Chang (Harry Potter's lover)?

Everything you wanted to know about the Harry Potter movies and aren't afraid to ask:

Kenneth Branaugh is a British actor, he played Professor Lockhart in the 2nd Harry Potter film. His character was the bumbling guy who used a memory charm on everyone so they would forget he didn't really know magic but he was really egotistical and full of himself and wrote lots of books and had a big fan club. A buffoonish guy, and he played it perfect in the movie.

Emma Thompson - ironically enough, used to be married to Kenneth Branaugh. Also a British actress, she was in Sense and Sensibility and Wit on HBO, etc. She's going to play Professor Trelawney in the new film that starts on Fri. I've seen a few trailers, she wears these bug eyed glasses that magnifiy her eyes WAY big. She teaches Divination and is supposedly a 'seer', which doesn't bode well for Harry.

I can't wait! I luv the books and - so far - I have luved the movies. I'm interested to see what this new director does. I saw Y Tu Mama Tambien. Interesting.
