February 3, 200917 yr I think he'll do great in the last 2 films (sorry, 3 films:dozey:) That tower scene is go0jung to be nothing short of legendary
February 4, 200917 yr I love Tom Felton. He's just brilliant at portraying Malfoy, but yeah, I wish we'd see a bit more of him.
February 4, 200917 yr I think he will have a much bigger and more intimate role in HBP. He will have to show his desire to be evil but his struggle against his own inner good. He seems like he is a good enough actor that he could pull off that role very well.
February 4, 200917 yr Throughout most of the books, Malfoy is just an annoying arrogant punk. It took until HPB for him to serve a central in the film. One of my favorite parts of the book was the vulnerability he showed, particularly in regard to moaning myrtle and the sectumsempra scene, and especially the conversation after he disarms dumbledore. I like to see characters with multiple dimensions, or some degree of conflict as opposed to these broad-stroked bad guys and good guys.

I like to see characters with multiple dimensions, or some degree of conflict as opposed to these broad-stroked bad guys and good guys. Exactly. It was so different yet so good to see Malfoy portray some kind of compassion/emotion, like in the scenes you mentioned. I'm glad JK gave him that vulnerability, or else he would be just another boring bad guy. Speaking of Malfoy's (somewhat) good side, the last two scenes with him in the Deathly Hallows were awesome... when Harry was rescuing him and Goyle (or was it Crabbe? I can't remember :disappointed:) from the fire, and when a Death Eater was about to curse Malfoy and Harry saved him. :P
February 4, 200917 yr ^Agreed. It will be a tough moment for him on the tower before Snape comes. I can't wait to hear the reaction after Dumbledore is killed from people who haven't read the books.
February 4, 200917 yr Even for fans it'll probably have the same sort of impact 'passion of the christ' had on some christians...You know all along that it's going to happen, but you are still really distraught when it actually does. I'd like to see a poll showing the percentage of fans who cried when: A. Cedric died. B. Sirius died. C. Dumbledore died. and D. Dobby died. (I have a funny feeling Dobby would win by a landslide :dozey:)

(I have a funny feeling Dobby would win by a landslide :dozey:) A. Didn't cry in the book, didn't cry in the movie. B. Cried a ton in the book, cried a little in the movie. C. Got a little teary in the book. D. Cried a ton in the book. :bigcry:
February 4, 200917 yr Yeah, that whole scene at the Malfoy manor was brilliant because everything happened all of the sudden after the slow times they were living in the tent disapparating place to place. Over the course of one chapter they get captured, Hermione gets tortured, Wormtail kills himself, Dobby rescues them and is then killed himself!
February 4, 200917 yr Hey did you hear horror writer Stephen King praised JK Rowling and insulted Stephenie Meyer? From a Yahoo! news article: According to Stephen, "Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good." Kind of mean to insult Meyer, but he is a very respected author (though I think he sucks:dozey:) so for him to say Rowling is "a terrific writer" is pretty cool.
February 4, 200917 yr YouTube - Feltbeats - Silhouettes in sunsets[/url] Well, I have a newfound obsession. :lol: He's brilliant! :wacky:
February 4, 200917 yr I know! Crazy right? I actually should've posted this one earlier... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijMNecILi-Q&feature=related]YouTube - Feltbeats-Time isn't healing[/ame] But yeah, Silhouettes and Sunsets is just amazing, I even brought the guitar out and tried to sorting out some of the songs. Silhouettes is tricky because he's picking multiple strings, But "Time isn't healing" is simple and catchy. He has an amazing voice with sort of a rythmic, Jack Johnson flavor. I never thought I'd be musically inspired by Draco Malfoy. :P

And that British accent definitely adds to it, I'd say. :P I can't decide which I like better, but "Time isn't healing" is fantastic as well.
February 4, 200917 yr I actually just bought "silhouettes in sunsets" off itunes a minute ago. :P and you're right about his voice. I mean, anybody can play "time isn't healing", but those simple little songs put so much emphasis on not just the melody, but the way it's sung. It doesn't matter whether it's me or a classically trained singer, singing that song, you have to have a naturally charming voice to pull that song off. It's the sort of thing you're born with, that allows singers like Chris Martin (mainly in parachutes), Jack Johnson, Norah Jones etc. to play very simple arrangements, but somehow make it impossible for anyone else to perform it nearly as well.

She isn't as great as JK but I don't think shes so bad...oh well.

February 4, 200917 yr Nice. it's loads better than most wizard rock, and more accurate because Tom actually is a wizard! :rolleyes:
February 4, 200917 yr :rolleyes: Speaking of Tom, this interview is very intruiging: http://www.goodprattle.com/2008/11/harry-potter-actor-tom-felton-part-2.html
February 4, 200917 yr great interview. And I was right all along about Jack Johnson! :dance: Jack Johnson as in "Banana Pancakes"?
