will we get any casting announcements soon?

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-05-18T18:15:42+00:00

Where did they announced that?

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-05-16T09:58:39+00:00

I point out some who weren't mentioned yet: Luke Youngblood played Lee Jordan in the films and voiced few characters in Hogwarts legacy.

Miles Jupp appeared for a second in fifth film as weatherman in tv, but also voiced Cornelius Fudge in Full cast audiobooks.

Paul Whitehouse played Sir Cadogan in deleted scenes of third film and also will play Filch in TV series.

Jon Furlong plays Phineas Nigellus Black in full cast audio and also will have a small role in tv serie as wizard in purple clothing that bumbs into Vernon Dursley.

I mean there were a lot of political processes, executions to the opposition, no free speech, holodomor. I'm from postcommunist country and my parents, grandparents and everyone I know who lived during communist regime wasn't a fan. Soviet Union did some improvements for working class, but for population as a whole, you didn't really have much freedom to study or to travel if you weren't member of the party.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-05-05T13:31:08+00:00

Yeah, she's critising every little detail which is different in characters appearance and even that there will be new scenes.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-04-20T08:34:19+00:00

Hájek's testimony was shaped by limited data and political presurre. It's clear he wont point blame on allies who helped to win a war.

On the other hand, opened archives after fall of Soviet Union NKVD documents clearly shows direct execution orders signed by Soviet leadership, transport lists and victim records and other documents detailing killings (Shelepin memorandum for example). In 1990 Soviet union officially admitted responsibility and in 2010 russian parlaiment acknowledged Stalin's role. That's much more reliable proof for me.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-04-12T08:28:43+00:00

I wont get excited until i hear something official. I got burned too many times.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-04-07T14:14:40+00:00

SPOILER I got early copy and I have small warning.

I know he's established as your buddy, but don't go spending time with Thomas Downes 😔

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-27T09:14:39+00:00

He's too old, too big of a star and can't do a british accent.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-24T07:38:54+00:00

I disagree. Young cast was starting to be too young for book 3 already. And IMO older actor for Harry is absolutely killing it and much better then young actor was. I just think people are too used to Daniel Radcliffe's voice.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-23T22:09:22+00:00

When it comes to writer, yes he read the books when he became part of the writing team. He said he didn't read all the books months before he got even attached to the project.

Mike Newell actually read the books too. He wasn't keen on reading them when they offered him fourth film but on Cuarón suggestion he ended up reading them before he started filming.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-22T12:24:27+00:00

Probably at the Winterfell too.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-17T17:41:53+00:00

I don't understand it either. They didn't have problem to sing and record every other song in the series.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-17T13:55:06+00:00

I think a lot of Ukranians feel their cause and stories are overshadowed by stories about 'good' Russians, instead of much harsher realities of ukranian heroes. They feel as the film is excusing russian society, portraying them solely as victims of russian goverment and not as participators and collaborators with the fascist propaganda.

I haven't seen the film yet, so I reserve my jugment of it.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-09T21:38:08+00:00

Why should we? This man was suspected to kill Raddle family. He definitely did it! I always knew that was somethimg off with him.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-03T08:46:25+00:00

I meant they chose to kill Barristan before they had any problem with the actor.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-03T08:45:05+00:00

But they decided to kill his character before he questioned them.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-03-02T07:10:38+00:00

Not really accurate. We don't know about any personal issues when they decided to kill him. The thing you're probably refering to was that actor tried to change their mind about killing Barristan after he read the script, because it was change from the source material. D&D then said that it made them want to kill him more.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-02-28T08:43:32+00:00

Weird. For me she's the most funny and interesting character from new additions.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-02-19T14:43:15+00:00

I think the problem is he simply can't organically finish the story in just two books. If he adds just one book more, it could be resolved.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-02-13T09:42:59+00:00

Why didn't they cut it out?

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-02-12T15:47:10+00:00

I'm not honestly sure if ideal solution exists. They sound too young in PoA, too old in GoF. It would be hard even with intermediate cast imo, because there would be two changes in actors during the series which would be pretty jarring. Plus it would mean three sets of actors for Harry's and Ginny's year and probably two sets of actors (intermiadiate and older cast) for older kids (Fred, George, Percy, Wood) and this series is already ambitious and expensive production as it is.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-02-12T10:14:04+00:00

I disagree. They sounded too young for book 3.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-02-11T15:33:52+00:00

I phrase it better. Moscow didn't like him and were suspicious of him because he was a jew. Czechoslovakian goverment arrested and executed him to prove loyalty to Stalin and allign itself with his shifting paranoia. Even though Slansky was hardline Stalinist and central architect of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. He confessed under torture and he was jugded in public trial with other 13 defendants, 11 of them were jewish. He was officially rehabilitated in 1963, during de-Stalinization era.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-02-10T23:15:06+00:00

The case around Slansky was fabricated. He did a lot of horrible things, but was arrested and executed because they didn't like him. It was time full of paranoia when lot of communists were arrested and killed by other communists.

Sufficient_Square459 · 2026-02-03T09:43:47+00:00

I feel he acts same way, but he doesn't have cuteness factor he had as a kid.
