Pfft!

Well, even though I dont think it spesificly says they are women, I always thought the band that plays at the yule ball, the weeird sisters, would be all female. Its really cool who theyve got in the film, 2 guys from Radiohead and Javis Cocker

Having just re-read the book I'm sure the sex of at least one of the band members is mentioned, but I may well be wrong - it certainly rings a bell anyway, will check tonight!

Well all I can remember is that (god Im starting to forget!) I think in book 5 In the Daily prophet it says one of the members was getting marries, but never male or female.

Buy Jarvis Cocker!?!?!? WOOT!

I heard it was Jarvis and members of Franz Ferdinand playing the band but it may be wrong.

Went to see Serenity for the second time last night, and before it I saw the longest trailer for GoF I've seen! Looks bloody brilliant and I was squealing with excitement. Roll on November 18!

Speaking of that trailer....has anyone caught him?

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.........Voldemort:

*shudder* Rrrrrrrrrrrafe.

(Edited to put the image behind the cut, in case anyone really doesn't want to be spoiled)

The Goblet of Fire gets a 12A Certificate.

That's surely a good sign. If Mr. Newell hasn't created the best of the series so far i'll be suprised and disappointed.

Indeed - I saw a humungously long trailer for it when I went to see Serenity (the second time) and it looked pretty schweet. Am ridiculously excited. Rock on November 18th!

Ooh, is it that soon? I hope i've gotten a job at the cinema by then so i can get in for free.

153 minutes, thats just over 3 hours.

Me and my best mate already have our Midnight showing tickets and (as long as we are free) going to watch it as many times within 24 hours.

In our cinema, we've worked out we can watch it 5 times with the times given

(missing one so we dont die)

00.05/10.00/13.30/17.00/20.30/23.50

Student loan is going to a good cause!

Saw the last film 3 times within 24 hours

Really? According to my maths it's 2 hours 33 minutes.

Can we post spoilers about the movie in here?

You can if you use spoiler tags.

Well, I was more wondering if we should create a Goblet of Fire topic (like we did for Revenge of the Sith)...

I think that might be a good idea asI've just got back from seeing it and I want to burst out everyhing that's happened!

As it is asked for, so it is done.

I have to wait until my brother feels like taking me. Which should be sometime either this or next week ... Until then, I'll just have to keep away from that thread above.

*Twiddles thumbs*








*Clicks link*

I couldn't help it! Oh phew, no-ones posted yet anyway ...

Open Luna castings!

If only they were casting for sardonic 28 year old Mancs. I could do with a job.

Could I pass as a 16 year old girl?

Not sure about the 16 year old bit . . .

You know you want me... admit it!

Id be perfect if I were the right age.

Im right dotty and they'd save money on hair stylists as my hairs the same. Dressed up as her for book realse last year

I'd rather be Tonks!

Not 'spunky' enough.

could be her mopey self in the 6th film though (still not old enough proberly!)

Squeeeeeeee!


Me too. Think I'm just a tad to old to go for Luna. I'd look weird next to all those 17 year old kids.
I have always claimed that I am, in fact, Nymphadora Tonks, and with the being in love with Lupin thing, I definitely am. Particularly the film incantation of him!

Haven't posted in here for a while.

Anyway, a release date for the GoF dvd and special features has been released.

The dvd will be released in 3 different formats. First of there is the single disc dvd, then there is the 2 disc dvd and third, there will be a 2 disc HD-dvd (for those with the HD TVs)

The dvd will be released on the 7th March in the U.S and the 20th of March in the UK.

Special features that will be included on the DVD are:

* Additional Scenes
* An interview with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson
* Cast and Crew Interviews
* Preparing for the Yule Ball featurette
* Triwizard Tournament Challenges (Dragon, Lake and Maze)
* Triwizard Tournament and Voldemort features
* DVD-ROM: Hogwarts Timeline, Magical Trading Cards and Game Demo

You can see the cover art here.

Luna Lovegood has been cast.

Also Natalia Tena (Casulty) has been cast as Tonks, Helen McCrory (Count of Monte Cristo) as Bellatrix Lestrange, George Harris as Kingsley Shacklebolt and Imelda Staunton will play Professor Umbridge.

No Idea Who Natalia Tena is. Helen McCrory I can see her as Bellatrix Lestrange, ad I think Imelda Staunton is fantastic!. Shes going to be Ace!

I think Natalia might be a bit too pretty for Tonks!
Good to see the Luna girl is suitably unusual looking, though.

I was just going to post that.


Good casting all round I think, plus Juile Walters will return for this one too.

It's going to be interesting to see what they cut out of the booked, considering this is the biggist so far. (Although most of it was filler)

Yeah, but there was a helluva lot of redundancy in OotP, is was easily 200 pages longer than it needed to be.

Yup. It's the only book of the series I've only read once.


Filming for OOTP starts on Monday.

It's got to be hard for the screenwriters and directors to decide what to keep and what not to keep...

As long as the Destrals and Grawp are in it, I'll be happy!

Dont you mean Thestals? (or something like that)
I agree. That and The Weasley twins departure!

One of my friends stopped reading halfway through OOTP because she found out what happens. She says that if she doesn't read it then it won't happen, I wonder if she'll do the same if she goes to see the film.

The last 2 book releases, and every movie first showing, me and my best friend have been at the front of the queues. One thing I hate about ther though is she reads most of the first chaper, then the end (is ron dies, she wont read it) then normally, flicking to the middle every so often, its sacralidge! It really drives me f-ing mad!

Has no one explained how a book works? I'm sure she could be taught. It's quite simple really.

That's actually quite sweet.
Like keeping scary books in the freezer.

I also had to really convince her to finish Catch 22 because she was afraid that it wouldn't end well for Yossarian. Bless her.

For those who have not yet visited this fan art site iI highly recomend it.

This artist gets everything perfect in every way. If the potter books ever needed illustrations in them, this person shoud do them.

SPOILERS as scenes from all books so afar are on this site

Natalia Tena (such an unfortunate name - esp. if she suffered from light bladder weakness) was Ellie in About a Boy. I think she is utterly perfect for the role but i would prefer our WS.

Luna looks too like a Malfoy - like Draco in drag.

Well according to his agent, Gary Oldman hasn't been asked to star in OOTP, which is a bit strange as he is a main character and plays a big part in this film.

Taken from the Snitch

Thinking about it they could cut the Sirus Black role out of the film without effecting the prophecy plot but it would be a bit like cutting Sam out of Lord of the Rings because it's only Frodo needs to go to Mount Doom really . . .

This
Still, cutting out Sirius might mean cutting grimmald place (sp) which is quite a chunk of the book. I cant see how sirius cant be in those scenes. And from my guessing the house will appear in the final book too

He must be in it as Daniel Radcliffe said in a recent interview with MTV that he has been meeting with a bereavement counselor to research how people react to losing someone close, as Harry has lost Cedric and will now lose Sirius.

Spoke to soon. Looks like Warner have now comfirmed that Gary Oldman and David Thewlis will both appear in the OOTP according to the Snitch website.

*whew* Was worried there for a sec...

Was just about to post that.

Phew

Given that he was in tGoF it would have been a bit bizarre to write him out of OotP.
