QMM 4 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Maybe Williams somehow knows of this board and the JWfans,then he felt bad because we had nothing to talk about,so he decided to compose one minute and a half of film music to tie us over till next year.K.M. 8O Well it IS John Williams after all.

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Generally British actors are more convincing playing British characters then Americans playing British characters.Also, Great Britain has somany wonderfull actors that there really is no need to use American actors.Stefancos- who thinks so far the casting for these films has been flawless.Well I basically agree with all those points. I just feel a total lockout of non-Brtiish actors is extreme thats all. However, as you said in the end the casting was really well done. -Rogue Leader who is still VERY PISSED that he will never get to see Harris as Dumbledore again or in any other movie. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I thought the adult actors are absolutely flawless in choices (I'll never get over Kenneth Branaugh's wonderful portrayal as Gilderoy Lockhart), but I think some of the child actors *cough*DANIEL RADCLIFFE*cough* are a bit weak.

MSM 126 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I found this on the web:A memorable scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second film in the trilogy, was set against the backdrop of the Glenfinnan Viaduct, and featured the Jacobite Steam Train. The forthcoming third film, Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, also includes scenes in Scottish locations.and:Filming of the second Harry Potter book, 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' took place in September 2001 with 'Hogwarts Express' calling at Glenfinnan. Pupils from Lochaber High School were dressed in wizard robes as pupils of Hogwarts Castle, the School for Wizards. The deleted scene with Harry looking over a lake (which opens the CoS trailer) is also at Glenfinnan. I found a picture of the Glenfinnan monument (which is on the side of this lake) and wondered if Tolkien took his inspiration for the pinacles within a stone ring from this location...?Glenfinnan monumentGlenfinnan railway stationGlennfinnan viaduct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocelot 508 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 OK, the reason I am not sure if the trailer is totally Williams is because that first part doesn't sound like Williams at all. It's very weak. Even if he used those chords, he would make it sound a lot fuller. It just sounds bad to me. The choral stuff could be Williams, all the clues are there, and he might have done just that last year so that they can film that part of the movie.Now as for casting, it's been perfect, and the addition of Emma Thompson is a huge coup! Now if only Angelica Houston is brought in to play Madame Maxime, I'll be in heaven. And before anyone says that she isn't British, that should not matter since the part isn't British either, it's French, plus her Father was British and she speaks fluent french. There, where's casting, I need to talk to them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I agree about the first part of the trailer,I don't think it's Williams either(the harmonic progression(is that the term?) sounds weird).But the song sounds like Williams....maybe that part was recorded recently according to Skymaker's post.K.M.

ocelot 508 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Right, but it would have been written a while ago so that they could shoot the scene and determined what the tempo would be so that it all fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Those pictures really do remind of Isengard.I do agree about the begining of the trailer...it doesn't feel like it belongs to rest of the song.

Ren 75 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I don't know, I think those chords are Williams'.I really think the kids did OK acting in PS.

Agreed.The Grint-Watson pair were SO much better in PS (IMO perfect, especially Watson), than in the second movie.Radcliffe had a few bad moments (like his smile at the end of the quidditch match) in PS, but also a few GREAT moments... like in the scene when he finds out Malfoy also got detention, the expression on his face is priceless!He got better in CoS and let us hope he gets better and better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Let's just see how Gambon does first. Somehow, I wasn't really satisfied with Harris' version of Dumbledore.
