Potter blatherings, mainly Marauders and Prisoner of Azkaban

[redfiona99]

On top of Gary Oldman looking nothing like how I imagined Sirius Black, neither Timothy Spall (Wormtail) nor David Thewlis (Lupin) are like what I imagined the characters to look like.

It's quite odd, I like all three actors but I fear oddness. Especially in the case of David Thewlis who I really do like far too much, but he has a thick Yorkshire (even worse Bradford) accent, worse than Sean Bean's, and isn't like the soft spoken Remus I have a picture of.

So I sense I shall be forced to do as I do with Sherlock Holmes and watch and complain and stick to the pictures in my head. Which is a shame since the Snape & Malfoy/Marauders are most of my favourite parts in the last two books.

And I really will scream if they take out Lee Jordan's commentary this time, because his commentary about Slytherin v Gryffindor in the 3rd book is my favourite part of the books full stop.

On a Sirius note, are we ever told if he really was in Gryffindor, or does he fit into the 'all bad wizards are from Slytherin' pattern that Hagrid described?

I fear I have a plot bunny relating to this problem.

Didn't you hear? They removed all Quidditch scenes from the third movie in order to use the screen time for the main plot.

Nope I hadn't heard. Thanks for telling me. I can see why they're doing it, and I think I'd rather have no Quidditch than Quidditch without commentary.
