Friday Five: Harry Potter Month #3: Best Casting
Well, the final film premiered last night. But since I wrote this before seeing it, I can’t really talk about it yet. Instead though, I’m going to shift from the books for a bit and talk about the films. Most Potter fans, myself included, tend to regard the books and films on different levels and almost treated as two separate entities. For though the principal story is the same, they are treated with different focuses and details. Any book fan will tell you “Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot & Prongs” are, but anyone who has only seen the movies will have no idea.
But let us not dwell on the differences of mediums, for what makes a good book and what makes a good film are two very different things. Let’s talk about something the films did right, and that only films can do: Casting. Who plays what character? Did they do a good job? While some of the casting is spotty, some of it is spot on. Let’s discuss.
