Is it me, or is Newt Scamander's costume channelling the Eleventh Doctor?

I'm cataloging Kiki's Delivery Service here at work, and its IMDB page claims it's referenced in the first two Harry Potter films, but does not elaborate on the details of what the references supposedly are. I'm skeptical that it's actually the case. Anyone have any idea what they might be talking about?

Say what you want; this still pushes my buttons.



Mrr. Pushes 'em so hard.

i would totally hit that

Snupin shippers, you may fancy this on-set photo from the wrap (I think) of filming DH2: http://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x151/rattlesnakeroot/DH/?action=view¤t=AlanRickman-DavidThewlis.jpg (not spoilery, but from this post by rattlesnakeroot which is)

OMG SNAAAPE. Much as I have aversions to Rickman!Snape the man can sometimes still take my breath away.

(Tom Riddle, Dumbledore, gen/dark, PG-13, ~1950 words)
Dumbledore's version of the orphanage visit isn't the only one. Set pre-canon. Prompt: "I just don't think there are any rules to color. You have a small space with no windows? Put lamps in there, make it dramatic, paint the ceiling black. Do something with it. If it's dark, accentuate the darkness." David Bromstad

My sole useless comment on this was "awesome!" It's basically the scene we see in "The Secret Riddle", from little Tom's point of view. The sense of the cold, confrontational emotions in his proto-sociopath mind is really good.

Harry really is terrible at giving speeches.

Comic format. I especially liked the way their young-adult faces were drawn on the 2nd page and Draco's off-the-cuff suggestion (and Harry's response) on the 8th page. Oh, and Harry's toes on the 6th page! Guh! And Harry all toffed up on the 9th page. Okay, apparently I had more to say about this than I thought... especially given that H/D isn't usually something I seek out (although I have nothing against it).

Maybe it's Snapeline (scroll down to the second piece) by binsybaby (aka Emily Cicierega, as in Neil Cicierega -- whom I have just learned I share a birthday with! woo! -- as in the Potter Puppet Pals)

If you were bemused by Alan Rickman's wig in DH Part 1, this art is for you. Some other funny things on this page too (I liked Albus Severus's Sorting) but I get the feeling some of them are inside jokes.

GYAH! The part-transformations you see on the first camera pass as the Polyjuice starts to take effect are just damn creepy looking.

OMG THIS IS LIKE OUT IN TWO WEEKS, WHAT?

Hermione's hair should have looked like this (at least) all along:

There's a bunch of new TV spots out for DH now (see http://community.livejournal.com/dhmoviepics/75545.html). I like these three.

Good glimpse of the Seven Potters in this one; hearing Fleur's voice from DanRad's mouth is very weird (and not how Polyjuice works in canon, nor logical; consistent with how they did it in the CoS film, but also requires us to suppose that Barty Jr was merely doing a very good job of imitating Moody's voice all year!): ( Read more... )

You can see a bit of Snape in this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wodrP0Dj79E (and it would seem that those who supposed the weird still with arm upraised was at the gates of Malfoy Manor are correct), but even though it's just half a second or something (ca. 0:09), I think I prefer this one: ( Read more... )

As much as I complain about Rickman!Snape in stills and posters these days, I can't deny that if you let him speak and move (and glare, and billow), he still steals a scene in about ... negative three seconds flat.
