Apparently the cinematographer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has done among others the recent Sherlock Holmes movies and Interview With Vampire. I think this is a really good choice. The cast has based Farrell what else do you need?

too bad her face went slag mode
They were all shit. Seriously, Harry Potter was easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects?all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>But at least the books are ggood though!
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King

Methods thread? Looking back, what do you think about it?
>Luna was never specifically said to be Irish
>but because the actress was, her lineage was changed to Irish anyway
>Rhys Ifans, a Welsh actor, had to put on an Irish accent because he was portraying her father Xenophilius Lovegood and they wanted to be consistent
I like that little addendum they made, it's cute.

Grow up you cancerous pleb.
I liked the adaptations of HP7
I think Harry destroying the wand pissed me off at first, but then it grew on me.
