Considering wether or not I'm gonna go see the Harry Potter movie. I have this rather defined image of the characters in my head, and I'm afraid those'll be replaced by the images of whoever's playing them in the movie. Also, looking at the pictures of the cast, I'm not sure they mesh enough with my mental image of them for me to be able to 'get into' the movie.

Harry is perfect. He's just like my In-My-Head Harry. Ron is a little too chubbby and doesn't seem to have any freckles, but I'll let that slide. Hermione is too. Friggin. pretty. Evil Warner Bros and their evil American view on things. Draco is perfect, too. At least my two favourites would be exactly as they are in my head. But I don't know if that makes up for the rest.

Snape is way skinnier than that. Dumbledore is okay. McGonagall looks far, far, far too old. [She's 70. Considering wizards grow a lot older than humans, I picture her to look about 45. She looks older than friggin Dumbledore, and he's over twice her age. Bluddy.] Hagrid looks a bit too hairy for me, but I could live with it

The Dursleys are brilliantly cast. Most of the confirmed 'supporting students' look good as well. Whoever cast John Cleese as Nearly Headless Nick should be given a Nobel Price or something. Ditto for Rick Mayall as Peeves. Man, that's just about enough to make me wanna go see the movie.

Rest of the supporting cast look okay, too.

I think, in the end, it'll depend on wether or not there are any more 'glaring errors' in the as-of-yet-unconfirmed cast. [Mostly the twins.]

My exact same thoughts on both Hermione and McGonnagall--too pretty, too old. And where the hell is Hermione's bushy hair and big teeth? Oh, well--had no plans to see this movie anyway.

Fiona Shaw is a perfect choice to play Petunia Dursley, though; saw her play a similarly nutty character in the Gormenghast miniseries and she was wonderful.
