heidiI read 'em so you don't have to...
But if you want to, they're here.
A comment from the costumer:
Alfonso said that Lupin should look like an uncle who parties hard on the weekends! So we made sure his gown was always unkempt and more shabby than the other teachers’ robes.
A statement from Cuaron:
Jo Rowling asked me not to be too literal with my interpretation, but to be faithful to the spirit of the books...
And he also said, about Lupin:
He is like Harry’s elder brother, the person who offers advice and support without being patronizing, but he has demons himself.
And other interesting tidbits:
And a glimmer for the Pettigrew-fans:
And, of course, more Lupin:
Now, this part isn't spoilery, is it?
A confrontation between Harry and the menacing Sirius Black seems inevitable…but what exactly is Professor Lupin’s relationship with Black?
Also, I'm still waiting on *anyone* write some Trelawney/Lockhart Bad Breakup fic. C'mon all you RPF-ers. Isn't *this* the pairing to write about?
But if you want to, they're here.

And other interesting tidbits:
To help the three young actors deepen their understanding of their characters, Cuarón asked them each to write an essay detailing how they viewed their character’s growth from their early days at Hogwarts to the beginning of the third story. “I remember handing in my essay and being so pleased, as neither Emma or Rupert had done theirs yet,” Radcliffe remembers, grinning. “I wrote a whole page on my character. But then the next day, Emma came in and had written sixteen and a half pages!”
“My essay about Hermione made me think of things I’d never thought about before,” Watson confides. “Alfonso asked us to write about why our characters behave the way they do, what’s behind their thoughts, and how things affect them. He calls it ‘taking off their masks.’ I realized that Hermione’s obsession with books and schoolwork is her security blanket. It really helped me to understand her.”
Cuarón is still awaiting Rupert Grint’s essay. “But hey, that’s my character!” Rupert protests. “Dan and Emma helped me give Alfonso all the usual excuses, like the dog ate my homework, that kind of thing. But Ron has never liked schoolwork, and he’d have found every excuse possible to get out of doing the essay, so I was just being in character!”
And a glimmer for the Pettigrew-fans:
“I thought the character an interesting one to play, as he is both repulsive and sympathetic, and he elicits a begrudging sympathy from the audience,” Spall says. “He’s a sort of pariah. Out of a group of school mates, he’s the runt who hangs around and is tolerated because the others feel sorry for him. But he’s really on the periphery of the group, and as with many runts, he’s the biggest troublemaker.”
And, of course, more Lupin:
The journey to the Shrieking Shack is meant to represent the terrible journey Lupin endures during his transformation into a werewolf," Craig reveals. "The living room is totally decimated and reflects his inner torment."
Now, this part isn't spoilery, is it?

Date: 2004-05-12 02:12 am (UTC)Loved how Rupert handled the request *almost* like Ron would've done. Rupert would've asked to copy notes from Daniel and/or Emma if he truly was going to act like Ron.
As to RPF, yes, I was amused with the casting in the HP movies, including Alan Rickman.
Hm, I don't have the writing vibes that much nowadays. Take a stroll around A/FF.net... {shudder}
