Apparently they've cast someone as Mrs Granger for DH. The "I changed their names and sent them to Australia" business is not "on screen" in the book, so this could be interesting. I wonder if they'll cast a Mr Granger. I wonder if the buggers will have names, even if only in the script. (Yii.)

(Am now picturing their notional shingle: "Granger & Granger" with a picture of a molar. lol.)

hmm. Michelle Fairley? I assume that Tom Knight and Heather Bleasdale who played Mr and Mrs Granger in CoS weren't available. Oity as they remain my picture of Hermione's parents.

I am still annoyed that, having been left on the cutting room floor in CoS we are still going to be deprived of Mr Bourgin in HBP.

Uh, how? Isn't all that Harry eavesdropping on Draco, I dunno, kind of important?

Well, I thought so - but Bourgin's not on the IMDB cast list.

It does look as though the screen adaptations of HBP and DH are going to differ significantly from the books - and not necessarily in good ways. It also looks as though Yates is so determined (a) to save money and (b) to put his own style on the films that he's forgotten the audience.

They might still have Bourgin. I believe the original Bourgin scene was filmed for CoS and it's an extra on the DVD.

I'm just thrilled that apparantly they are going to make DH. There was some speculation that they wouldn't.

[arcanetrivia]

That would have been kind of anticlimactic. Or maybe more like coitus interruptus. ;) As I said here, though, there had just better be plenty of lovely young Severus for us to coo over in the second part, or else we may have to go all medieval wizarding on their asses.

Michelle Fairley looks quite pretty.

Given how Harry and Hermione were portayed more sympathetically in the OoTP movie than in the OoTP book, it doesn't surprise me that Hermione's Obliviating her parents' memories isn't in the 7th movie.

I don't think we know that yet (unless you have it from somewhere else?). the_bitter_word, I think it was, speculated that we might be actually shown it onscreen, or at least given a little "backstory" rather than having the effect of "oookay, Hermione Memory-Charmed two people we only saw on like one page back in CoS, whatever".

Yes, that's what I thought when I read this, too. In DH, alot of the action is talked about after the fact, so it makes sense that some of it would have to be shown.
