Re: Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix discussion...
Two new pictures. Going to use HTML since the VB code made the other pictures huge:

First let me say after two virtually monochromatic films, it's nice to see some promo shots with COLOR again. Second let me say that Luna has radish earrings which makes me absolutely thrilled. God is in the details.

Have you heard the actress talk? She has a really high-pitched yet very soft voice. Even talking normally for interviews she seems like she's half day-dreaming. A lot of the quirkiness for the character will come from that voice, and her rather unusual body language.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)I wonder if they tore down the main stairway set? I don't remember seeing it since Chamber of Secrets.

I think Bonnie Wright makes a perfect Ginny Weasley. She tall for a girl, which allows her to carry the formidable aspect of the character, but not so tall that she'll dwarf Dan/Harry in HBP. Her, Robbie Coltrane, and (sadly) Richard Harris are the three characters that look closest to how I imagine them.

Sorry about that. The images were supposed to be thumbnails that linked to the high-res shot but since HTF upgraded software it does all sorts of things I haven't been able to account for yet.

As for Umbridge, I think she looks right for the part. From those pictures, she exudes an air of order and restraint. One who lives by a strict set of rules and never deviates from them. Sounds like Umbridge to me.

Exactly. She's perfectly buttoned down which makes perfect since because she's the most Muggle-like of the Wizarding World. She all of the worst parts of Cornelius Fudge.

I've got to agree. Part of the magic of this series is that with the unavoidable exception of Dumbledore each film have evolved fluidly from the previous one. It's got a similar fascination to it as Apted's "7 Up" series. Replacing any of the kids that have been through five films now would severely ruin the magic of it. Give Watson whatever she wants.
