>"Let me just say my lines like I normally would instead of giving depth to the character"Robbie Coletrane > Nick Frost
>>219529896And this surprised you?
>>219529896He looks like a child molester.
>>219529896Hagrid can’t be played any other way though. His lines need to be delivered in a natural way. This means you either are or aren’t a good fit for him.
>>219529896>Robbie Coletrane > Nick Frostyeah no shit, even nick frost would agree with you.You're approaching this like an angry teenage girl crying that their choice got denied but you forget Coltrane literally fucking died. They don't have the option to cast him because he isn't alive anymore.
>>219530239>The sun is setting after a long day of classes as Harry wanders down to Hagrid’s hut. >Suddenly Ron appears behold and grabs him by the robes, trying to drag him back up the hill.>“Harry, I can’t let you do this. It’s not safe!”>“Ron!? What are you doing? Let go of me! I’m going to see Hagrid, he invited me to his hut for afternoon tea.”>“Harry, you don’t get it, he does awful things to young boys! Fred and George warned me about it! He’s a monster! Please trust me.”>Harry is taken aback at the real tears which are flowing out of Ron’s poor eyes. He stops struggling. >“Hagrid seemed nice enough when he took me to Diagon Alley Ron. I don’t know. He even bought me Hedwig.”>“That’s how he gets their trust Harry! He buys them gifts. But when he gets them in his hut, he forces them to…do things with him.”>That does it, Harry is forced into traumatic flashbacks of the evil ways of Uncle Vernon. He can’t risk that again. He just can’t. >“Ok Ron, let’s get out of here.”>Ron looks down at the hut, maybe 70 feet away, and sighs with relief. >“We’re just both lucky we didn’t get any closer.” >That’s when it begins. The door opens, and Harry and Ron stare in dawning horror as Hagrid stretches him arm out after them. Clearly, he has been using a clever magic to conceal just how large he really is.>The boys panic and run, but the arm keeps coming. Harry is faster, and he can’t do anything as Ron is grabbed from behind around the neck. In a similar same way to how Harry just was, but by a hand far larger, with a grip unfathomably stronger.>“Bloody Heeeeell!” Screams Ron, as he is pulled back through that dark doorway, into a darkness darker than the night that has fallen all around it.
>>219531020>Harry knows he can’t fight Hagrid. He sprints desperately to the castle for help, and is crumpled immediately by the Whomping Willow, which he had got to close to in his desperate panic. He doesn’t get up. No help is coming for Ron.>Hagrid is showing his terrified captive Ron a jar of squirming spiders. Ron is in a near catatonic state. Hagrid pulls down his pants, revealing he is even hairier there than the rest of him, then he opens the jar and pours the spiders all over his bare crotch. His dinner plated lid sized hand grips the back of Ron’s head.>“Now, what I’m gonna need yer to do, is follow the spiders”. >From high atop the astronomy tower, Dumbledore has been watching all along. His eyes twinkle behind his half moon glasses.
There's not a single casting decision in this that seems better than that of the old movies. The first two, at least. From the third one onward they kinda stopped giving a shit, too.
Can I, get any of you cunts, a drink
>>219530537>They don't have the option to cast him because he isn't alive anymore.They could cast him as one of the house ghosts though. The fat monk or the bloody baron.
>blocks yer path
>>219531523New Ron is taller and more athletic than old Ron. I.e. closer to the book description.From what we've seen of her so far, same goes for Ginny. Old Ginny worked well in the beginning when she was just shy and awkward, but she later is described as highly energetic, an athlete and prom queen type, and the new actress seems to have been cast with that in mind.And say what you will about Snape and the Dursleys, but at least their ages are far more book-accurate in the new adaptation.Harry, Hermione and Draco don't seem any more or less suited between the old and the new cast.
>>219531949.>And say what you will about Snape and the Dursleys, but at least their ages are far more book-accurate in the new adaptation.Gonna be honest here, aging them up for the movies was for the better. Harry's parents and by extension Snape, Lupin, Sirius, Pettigrew and the Dursley's being so ridiculously young wouldn't really have worked. All those characters come off as middle aged in the books.
>>219529896Should've done it in Danny Butterman voice
>>219532108>All those characters come off as middle aged in the books.They’re british though. They age faster.
>>219536716But they're also wizards, so they age more slowly.Wizards can easily reach 150 years total afterall.
>>219531949The "lore accurate age" is retarded and a mark of poor lore worldbuilding, not a thing to keep in raccord.Now I'll ask you how old is dumbledore and how old is voldemort and your rat mind explodes
>>219529896Fucking ozempic lefty face
>>219530269Robbie Coltrane is Scottish with a thick accent but played Hagrid with an English West Country accent
>janny>has a potential paycheck > 0bros.......
>>219529896What's funnier is that this guy is like 5'5 and he's playing a giant lmao
>>219532108I suspect Snape was written old, and then reconnected younger so he could be James' classmate.No fucking way is the guy in the first book supposed to be a man in his early 30's.No one complained when they cast Rickman, because he was exactly like the guy from the book.
>>219530537Go back.
They should've made a series set during the first opening of the Chamber of Secrets, with Kit Connor as Tom Riddle and Kaleb Cooper as the young Hagrid
>>219537227>No one complained when they cast Rickman, because he was exactly like the guy from the book.When they cast Rickman, Rowling apparently already knew his full backstory. Because that's what they hooked him for the role with. So she at least could have noticed that the parent-generation actors were all too old. Then again, she was probably way happier to have somone of Rickman's cailber on board more than she cared about age accuracy.
>>219531664His SAG membership expired when he died
>>219530239He is
>>219537364>Rowling apparently already knew his full backstoryNot according to reality and evidence, but she can say whatever
>>219537238swing and a miss, kiddobetter luck next life cause you're fucked in this one
>>219529896>>"Let me just say my lines like I normally would instead of giving depth to the character"THIS. FUCKING THIS. it should be>ayo cant breath yo know what im saying lel, six seven six seven, roflmao yall
>>219537559>but she can say whateverI think it was him who told that story.
>>219530239Most brits are
>>219537969>women>3 per millionSeems awfully low, considering I find most British women sexually offensive.
>>219537121They’re british wizards. They look 50 at 19. Simple as.
>>219530537
>>219529896sorry I can't take this actor seriously
>>219531949That's a lot of copium, dilate.
>>219539447>copiumNot sure what you mean by that. Those are simple facts in regards to how well some of the cast fits the characters as described by the books.No one claimed that it somehow extended to Snape being black or anything like that.
>>219530239Correct
>>219529896fagrid
>>219531750that would have honestly bean a better choice. mark addy and hagrid in the first book are exactly both 62 years old
>>219539643Well, I still appreciate his work on Twin Peaks.
>>219539734Personally, I like his poem about those two diverging paths.
>>219539690>have honestly bean a better choiceFrankly, I don't see it.
>>219539734>>219539780i like when he puts ice on things in wintertime
I liked when they tried to give Hagrid a catch phrase.
>>219537364Not a tranny disclaimer. Rowling didn't write the books, lmao. She wrote book 1 which has shockingly different prose than anything that would come after. It then became a lightning in a bottle franchise and a team of ghost writers were brought on board. Obviously she had some say in the process but definitely not full creative control. If she had full control gay Dumbledore would have been explicit instead of implicit. She was practically chomping at the bit for whatever weird NDA she was under to expire to shout out that Dumbledore was gay. It came apropos of nothing, totally unprompted, almost like she had been seething over having to abide by an NDA on a group project.
>>219531020>>219531073Well, that turned out a lot worse than I thought it would
>>219529896This is going to be so soulless, in addition to being hated by chuds AND trannies. But people love slop, and will slop this shit up like the pigs they are.
>>219540398>a team of ghost writers were brought on boardThat's a bit of a stretch. Certainly, the later books were written differently, with more of a franchise mentality in mind (and even with the films in mind). But if anything, I'd even say it became less editorial, and more unhinged pure Rowling, as time went on.>gay Dumbledore would have been explicit instead of implicit.Gay Dumbledore was neither. There's not as much as a hint that he had any kind of sexuality in the books. It's some dumb shit she made up as a response to fans on twitter. Like that one time she explained how wizards didn't have toilets until the 1900s and just shat on the floor.
>>219539583They aren't redeeming factors.
>9 hours and tons of samefagging with strategic bumping to get to 50 postsfucking brutalimagine if the IP counter was still around
>>219542876I was replying to someone who replied to me, there's more than just bots on this site you know?
>>219542828>redeemingNo one said anything about redemption.
>"Let me just say my lines like I normally would instead of giving depth to the character"I think this is probably a worse case of that
>>219530537the problem with the casting is that they are treating every choice as if they are the spiritual successors of the former one, nick frost is a random sketch character actor playing himself, coltrane was a stage actor who just happened to be in sketch shows
>>219529896Why did they need to recast? Just use the old “wide shot” extras.
>>219537354>HARRY, YOU FUCKING TWAT, THE FUCK ARE DOING!? YOUR BROOMIN' IS RUBBISH! YOUR FLIGHT PATH IS AS STRAIGHT AS A ROUNDABOUT, YOU MUPPET!
Hagrid shoulda been Ray Winstone.
>>219529896Def downgrade.
>>219529896OP, every actor in the original will > the new shit, don't even waste your time.
