Odd, I thought people were saying Rowan Atkinson was going to do it (which seemed weird as well).

It will be significant

I had heard John Malkovich was up for it though he is an American and JK only wants a british cast. He still would have been really effective. As much as I love Rowan Atkinson he wouldn't have been good in the role.
I'm rather interested in who they'll cast as Umbridge for Order - she's probably the most delicious villian to come around in a long time if pulled off correctly. But I'd have thought this decision for Voldemort would have been made a while ago - aren't they in the middle of filming Goblet right now?

Sometimes they're a little... slow... on the casting. I don't think they officially announced who would play Trewlenay in movie three until quite a while after they had started filming, but I could be wrong on that.
I thought the lady who played Aunt Marge in Azkaban would have made a great Umbridge too.

i see umbridge getting played by someone well known, they'll dig deep into the british actress pool and go for someone like Judy Dench or Angela Landbury (WHo'd I'd love to see play a villan).

Well, according to the article they just started a few weeks ago. And Voldemort isn't really going to be in the film that much...
That article isn't very good.
It says that voldemort's spirit runs havoc in azkaban. That's wrong.
It says the movie starting filming in late June when I remember seeing radcliffe saying they were 4 weeks in during an interview in late may.

Excellent choice.
And Brendan Gleeson as Mad-Eye Moodie! Another excellent choice, though I always imagined him to be much shorter. Not really sure about Miranda Richardson though, I've only seen her in Spider, The Hours (though I don't really remember her character very well), and Sleepy Hollow.

Very true. I haven't felt such strong feelings of pure hatred towards a character in a book in a long time.

I'm currently reading Goblet of Fire for the first time (about 3/4 through it), my favorite book of the four so far. Have there been any rumors as to who is playing Moody? And also, what the hell are they going to cut out?

Apparently, "Beat out over 3,000 girls to make her debut as 'Cho Chang' in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.'" so there isn't a picture listed yet. Same goes for Viktor.

I liked book 4 but it was to slow for most of the book, and then took off at the end. I still say book 3 is the best, and my personal favorite. Also, here is a pic of moody:
I really loathed Goblet of Fire, just structurally and plotwise it was tedious and annoying, and I just felt like screaming "Get on with it!!!!"
Prisoner of Azkhaban is my favorite with, contrary to many people's opinion, Order of the Phoenix coming in second - I really loved that one, finally we're getting to the meat and potatoes of the matter!

Cho Chang (Katie Leung):
The girl who's playing Fleur looks sweet and is certainly pretty...but she's meant to be completely stunning. Her looks should completely blow us away. I'm not sure what they can do with make up, but I'm not seeing it happen.
She really is French though, which is good. I hear she (Clemence Poesy) has appeared nude in a film too, not that I can find any pics that work. I'm sure as the film gets closer they'll be all over the place though.

Wow, she does have nice tits.
Reminds me a bit of Kirsten Dunst in some images, a lot of 13 year old girls in others :\

Hmm, I notice on IMDB's cast list that Bagman isn't listed at all. Maybe they cut that character for the film.
I wonder if they'll cast Bellatrix for this one...

People didn't like Order? I loved it! Umbridge was such a great character to HATE throughout the book, and Fred and George weren't completely useless as I felt they'd been in previous stories.
I also like that the ending didn't really jerk you around, that it got right to the point for once (the first three had twists, and the fourth really not so much). Not to mention that so much shit hits the fans towards the end of the book. It's great, and it finally moved the series forward.
And I thought it felt like a school year, reading it. Unlike the first three, which were more like mysteries where the kids still had school to do, it seemed to dominate their lives and it played a bigger role than the past books.
Order of the Phoenix was great... my only real problem with it... was Harry was kind of a little bitch throughout the whole thing. =( Yeah, he's going through more than any normal kid would have to, and yes it's realistic but... it still annoyed me for some reason.
But as I wrote earlier in the thread, it's still my favorite book in the series after Goblet of Fire. =)

When I heard Emma Thompson was cast as Trelawney I had my doubts but them she was absolutley perfect in the movie so I have no doubt the newely cast girls will do awesome.
I didn't like Azkaban as a book but I loved the movie. I really loved Goblet as a book, but looking back is took a long time to get to it, but once it did it opened up the whole series and now it's full steam ahead.
Phoenix is the most well constructed and fluid book. It never lets up and I can't really see much to cut out which scares me cause you know it'll get chopped

My problems with Order are lack of mystery that the other books have had, and
I still love it though. I'm not going to bother ranking the books as they're all so close together in quality, except that Philosopher's Stone is at the bottom, though it's still enjoyable.
Voldermort and Dumbledore's fight. Not so much the actual fight, but the fact that they have fought might mean this is the only confrontation we'll see from them in the series (because it was inevitable that at one point they'd clash, but not necessarily twice) and I've been really looking forward to a Book 7 battle. Hopefully it'll still happen.

I think those two will fight again.
By the end of the 7th book (And i personaly think it will happen at end of book 6), I think Dumbledor will be killed.

I think he'll die too. What I thought would happen (this is only spoilered because of Book 5, no future spoilers, as if I have any anyway)
was a Voldermort/Dumbledore fight that Dumbledore would go into knowing full well that he'd die. He'd do that because he needs to actually kill Voldermort, but Voldermort's pretty much immortal at the moment, so he has to use some ancient magic no one else knows about that involves giving up your own life to make him vulnerable. Then it's down to Harry. But ever since Order's battle, I'm not so sure. The thing is, if Order's battle is the first of two between them, then it's great, but if it's the only one we'll see then it wasn't good enough.
Yeah, that's my only real complaint with the book, Harry became quite a bit to take at some point. It was really annoying me too. Particularly when it came to him practicing his mind protection stuff, it just annoyed me that he dumped on that stuff, and everything seemed so clear and everyone was telling him to do it that I really had no sympathy for him when everything went to shit because he wasn't practicing it. Even though no one explicitly told him why it was important, the writing was on the wall about why it was important.

http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org has some pics of GoF filming (although the quality isn't that great) and around five pages of the script as it is now dealing with the first task. It's a pretty interesting read.
