How about making this the new thread about all aspects of the Third Movie.
Let's discuss
Let's discuss
Okay, but I'm not going to make this thread offical for about two years.Unless it's delayed, the movie should be out in Summer 2004, so it'll be a bit shorter than that.
Supposedly Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) may not be returning for the third film. Possibly due to money issues, though I think he's also the oldest of the child actors and may no longer look young enough for the part.
They also have to recast Albus Dumbledore.
Would there be a possibility that both Prisoner of Azkaban & Goblet of Fire would be filmed simultaneously as they did with Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Matrix sequels, so that the three kids would not look that different.I doubt it.. the rest Azkaban's production was delayed was because Radcliffe's parents wanted him to have a normal school life for a while. I doubt they'd sign off on such a long shoot. Plus, it'd make pickups impossible, since the kids would grow so much from one end of the shoot to the other. It'd be cool, though.
BTW, I'm a little confused, but is Harry's mom a muggle or not? In the films, it seems like she's not, but in the books it's explicitly stated she is.She is a witch, but from a muggle family.
Regarding Dumbledore, I heard, there was another actor already stepping in, while Harris was ill. He seems to look very similar, so why not take him?
She is a witch, but from a muggle family.Correct; Lily Potter was Muggle-born.
As for the cast growing too fast, I dunno. I really hope they are able to make all of them with the same principle cast. Even they get to being 2 years apart, I think the kids could still pass for the correct age. They looked significantly older in COS, but a lot of changes go on in the 11-12 range. By the 7th film, if they're all 20-21, I think they could still pass for 18 or so. Christian Coulson, who played 16-year-old Tom Riddle in COS, was 23 when he got the role. It could work. But, it's up to them; it should be their decision, and from what I've heard the three leads are all interested in continuing.
I haven't gotten to the fourth book yet, but I loved Prisoner of Azkaban, and it should make a great movie. Personally, I think Anthony Higgins (Rathe from Young Sherlock Holmes) might make a good Professor Lupin. At any rate, I'm sure they are close to acquiring the new cast members, as they're supposed to start shooting in March. I guess we'll see. Should be cool.
