Er, I THINK he was exaggerating (could be wrong though). Since Krum I think had about two lines, and Fleur has a few (I only really remember what she said to Harry offhand about "You saved her, but she wasn't yours to save" or something).

Yes. I was using hyperbole there. Compared to the kind of character development they were given in the book, coupled with the massive amount of marketing behind these characters for the movie, their actual screen-time and contributions to the screenplay were extremely disappointing.

The entire "discovery" of Barty Crouch's death centered around Krum and he was cut right out. That scene provided such an insight into him, Karkaroff, Durmstrang, the Dark Arts, and his feelings for Hermione as the one bright light in his life.

Ham-handed. That's the best word to describe the cuts in his character.

Just looking around old threads and found this one.

It reminded me about how everyone used to tell me that I looked like Viktor Krum

See for yourself and make a decision.

I took existing pictures of me and tried to find pics of the actor that were similar in nature....you'll see what I mean.

RON: "$65."
HERMIONE: "$65? I've never worked for so little! Except once, and that was a very noble cause."

Exactly. Else President Bush's speeches would just be dry. Riddle them with "inaccaracies" and it becomes great dramedy.

But this thread isn't about politics, it's about Potter, so how about another caption:

So I finally saw the film (stayed away because of bad word of mouth) and must confess to being mildly disappointed. While I agreed with disposing of the entire house-elf subplot (made the book drag on), there were certain plot points that really shouldn't have been missed, which will eventually come back and bite the filmmakers on the a$$.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

You mean, like, Rita Skeeter being an unregistered anamagus discovered by Hermione, allowing her to be blackmailed in Order of the Phoenix so that the true story about Voldemort's return would finally be written by somebody?

This movie should have been four hours long. They should've stuck with making two movies out of it, releasing one at Thanksgiving and one at Christmas, then releasing it as one film on DVD.

Or at least shooting it with an Extended Edition in mind like PJ did with LOTR.

See, this is why I won't read the books until I've seen the movie adaptations. So far I love the movies and don't want the next 3 to suck ass because of inconsistancies with the books. So far the movies have just been getting better and better for me. And I didn't even start to watch them until 5 months ago.

The movies aren't inconsistent in any way. A few minor things get changed for simplicity's sake, but not out-and-out inconsistencies. That's one of the great things about them. But if you're a reader of the novels as we are in this house, you'll find yourself watching the movies and saying "why did they take [x] out of it?" This is more a problem since Christopher Columbus left. He may not have the eye for stunning filmmaking that Alfonso brought (or that Newell continued) but he was at least slavishly faithful to the books, which I found to be a refreshing change for the film industry.

Once movie seven comes out, you definitely should read the books though. So many great subplots that may not matter but certainly are fun.

Yes, but the difference is that when Columbus was directing the movies, the books that were being adapted were much shorter. Trying to make a book three times as long into a movie of the same length is a bit different. But shouldn't the credit or disdain go to Steve Kloves instead, since he's written the actual screenplays for all four movies so far? Because wasn't Columbus, or Cuaron, or Newell just working with what they were given?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Not completely. Kloves wrote to a mandated length. The original plan for Goblet was to make two 2-hour movies out of it. Alfonso convinced Newell to trim the book down to a 2.5 hour movie. Kloves wrote to that length.

Azkaban could have stood about five more minutes to tie up some loose ends.

Goblet of Fire could have stood about ten more minutes (past the length of the extended edition) to give it a bit of breathing space and to tie up some more loose ends. The Rita Skeeter subplot really needed to be completed.

Well, according to IMDb, ol' Stevie isn't on board for "Order of the Phoenix" (Michael Goldenberg is filling his shoes), but he is on board for "Half-Blood Prince". Might I venture a WTF?

The loathesome Steve Kloves is pursuing a different project at the moment, something with "Midnight" in the title.
