Malfoy's Potter tips to Cho girls
Why's he giving out advice to potential Chos, anyway? Perhaps to indulge my guilty-pleasure ship.
According to this, they're looking for girls with Southeast Asian descent. WTF really? I would have thought East Asian from her name, but what do I know?
And wait, so -- gah, I'm so not up on HP news. There were rumors a few weeks back that the kids had signed on for the GoF movie, but then it went back and forth over whether this was actually true or just a rumor, blah blah. But if they're holding casting auditions for Cho Chang this weekend, that means that the film's been greenlighted, right? And from the sound of things, Dan and everyone else will be back. Right?
Oh, whatever. I'm just excited/wary to see who they'll pick for Cho. If only I were 10 years younger and lived in London. Of course, if I played Cho I'd make the suggestion that she doesn't go for Harry because she's actually in love with his nemesis, and could she and Malfoy have a snog scene please?
And I want more pictures. Did Tom shoot up to 6'1" during filming? How did they "fix" that? Did the other people in his scenes have to stand on boxes? I mean, he's only supposed to be 13. He can't tower over his teachers.

I like using icons that make me go :D
Date: 2004-02-07 12:34 am (UTC)Alas, I agree wrt Draco's "importance" in the books -- in that, he doesn't have any. It was always easy to recognize that unless JKR did something more w/ him, he'd be doomed to being an irritating gnat who was barely a blip on Harry's radar, considering the looming threat of, you know, The Dark Lord. I just always thought that if she really didn't have any plans for Draco, why's he even as prominent as he is? Why'd she name him Draco, when that word is used elsewhere in the books for random things (like the school motto, and Gryffindor's first password)? And I'm okay w/ it being meaningless; it's just that JKR's been so careful w/ her symbology and hidden meanings and such that I'm paranoid one's passing me by.
I'm curious to see, with his father in prison, whether Draco will allow himself to be influenced by others around him (say, Snape), or whether his malevolence will be shown to be bone deep, and he'll continue down the path to Death Eaterdom.

Date: 2004-02-07 12:53 am (UTC)I guess Draco can always become actually evil instead of merely annoying and bratty, but he's going to have to have a big change in book six to do so. With his father in jail, he can be influenced by Snape (maybe. I'm not convinced Snape would care enough to try. Snape's a bastard.) or he can try to fill his father's shoes and/or be bitter toward Harry for putting his father away in the big house.
I agree, it would be majorly odd to do nothing with Draco given his name, his parentage and his presence in the books up until now. Maybe he'll just be a run of the mill DE.
