Casting Couch, err, Call!

[hackthis_archive]

oxoniensis was wondering about future-casting for the HP roles, I guess because she kept thinking Jailbait! and freaking herself out, but me, I've had these kids cast as twenty-something for ages (with much debate and assistance from ethrosdemon and serialkarma) because these things are important to my mental health:

*Updated 20 September 2005

Notes: I haven't cast Hermione because she annoys me so badly I just prefer to kill her instead. I'd also like to cast Jamie Bell and Cillian Murphy somewhere, but I haven't sorted out where just yet. Also, I need a Dean. Also, am I missing anybody? I don't remember now. My brain has OD'd on the pretty.

Notes #2: OMG, LJ is possessed. Somebody call an exorcist!

Psst! Your David Anders link doesn't go anywhere.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Whoops, my bad. Tis all fixed now.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

I'm having no luck on the Dean thing, unfortunately.

But out of curiosity: Who's your Sirius and Remus? Gary Oldman and David Thewlis? Other people? does it not matter b/c you don't write them much?

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Also, I just realized that for the longest time I thought Charlie Hunnam and that guy who's now on One Tree Hill were the same person. That explains *so much*.

stop laughing.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

OMG, I can fucking comment. Why is gmail acting like a punk bitch now? Also, for Remus and Sirius I hadn't given it a great amount of thought to be honest, but because you are making me I will think on it. I want red Kool-Aid, FYI.

[stphjay.livejournal.com]

are we caring about Justin? Because I've always seen him as sort of frail and fey, so Jamie Bell would do quite nicely. Unless he's really beefed up, in which case perhaps not.

Charlie Hunnam is delightful but I would make him lose some weight before I'd let him play Draco, were I in a position to demand such things.

Blaise Zabini: Henry Cavill
That's assuming it's a guy. :-)

Also, Cate Blanchett as Narcissa? Though she looks cold and distant, she doesn't look anywhere near arrogant enough. :-)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Blaise Zabini: Henry Cavill
That's assuming it's a guy. :-)

It is a guy. She said so in an interview a few weeks back.

[rane-ab.livejournal.com]

Ah, OK. I'm usually fairly obsessive with LJ, but I haven't been for the past weeks. Thanks for pointing that out. Well, some countries are going to get into trouble, 'cause they translated it to a girl's name in some countries. Oh, well.

[girlandetc.livejournal.com]

wow, that's an absolutely brilliant pre-war draco. he'd be much less easy to snicker at. although tom felton is much more ferrety. heeee. also? parminder? great. love her. although i can't see anyone but rupert for ron. it's the faces - he's too brilliant.

[poor-choices.livejournal.com]

I love the shirt that guy you cast as Seamus is wearing.

Yep, that's a cool shirt^^

[lrodell.livejournal.com]

And the grizz! I am not usually liking the grizzly face, but the eyes + grizz=hello, trouble^^

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

The problem was less that I was thinking jailbait, than I was enjoying it, then remembering jailbait! Gah!

Prince Harry??!! Bwahahaha!!

I like your Parvati and Blaise a lot. Your Dracos? Hmm, they don't work for me. I think they're too strongly entrenched in my mind as other characters. Besides, I'm already happy with my cobbled together version.

[wyoluvr.livejournal.com]

actually, Sark's Russian, not that it matters. he *was* schooled in Britian.

now imagine Sark about 10 years younger and wearing a school uniform, sucking the jocks off after *insert sport of choice*.

better yet, imagine him sucking Prince Harry off. yessssss.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dude, Sark already looks 19, anything younger would put me off. Also, somewhere in season 1 they said that Sark had a trace of Galway in his accent, so I'll say that he was born in Russia, but that mouth, err, accent is pure Trans-Continential.

[wyoluvr.livejournal.com]

heh. i think JJ hadn't quite decided what he'd do with Sark back then. not that he's yet to make up his mind...bastard.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, if JJ's confused I know *exactly* what to do with Sark.

[wyoluvr.livejournal.com]

get in line, my friend. get in line.

[sparkymonster.livejournal.com]

Please note that the beginning of the line is occupied by myself and wyoluvr . We totally have dibs.

Also, Sark and Vaughn join the mile high club on the show! It's beautiful.

[kismeteve.livejournal.com]

Hugh Dancy is so my grown-up Harry Potter. Dude.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

you cast callum as seamus? Oh dear.

http://unix.rulez.org/~calver/pictures/bunny_suicides/

and I would like to say PARMINDER NAGRA? Omg.

jeremy irons? you're isane, but brian cox is worse. his pock marks her me.

also, you need to change the george clarke to sloper and ewan to ollie.

you made Paul Bettany in a catatonic state??????? NO! We must have him as someone else who can DO things and be really scary and HOT omg sets me on fire! Did you see Gangster Number One? HE IS SO SCARY AND COVERED IN BLOOD!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You love Callum as Seamus. Your just mad you didn't think of it first. He also makes me want to write Seamus/Dean but I'm so anti-Gryffindork (except Neville) that I just can't... meh.

Also, no, I did not see Gangster #1. People covered in blood does not appeal to me.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

did you really say that people covered in blood do not appeal to you? BLOOD TRAITOR!

I do love Callum as Seamus, that's what I meant. I really love it. maybe he's a traitor to the cause? he does sort of diss all over harry in ootp

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I didn't say killing people didn't appeal, I said people covered in blood didn't appeal. I mean why should they have all the fun if I can't? You are right about the Seamus dissage. *thinks v hard* Who's been whispering in Seamus' ear? They have to say the right thing though, that's v important, after all, his dad's a muggle.

[k-glorificus.livejournal.com]

maybe his da left the family, ran off with a girl in Ibiza. maybe he's mates with Oliver, who's mates with Bevan and so on.
