Jack D. (anthonyburgess) | 31 comments Which actors do you think did the best job portraying their characters? There are some actors I loved, but were completely different than how I pictured them in the books!

For me I thought Ginny would be really different. I actually liked in the movies, but I just pictured her to act differently.


message 2: by Kevin (new)

Kevin Randall (baddkar) | 10 comments personally thought Alan Rickman couldn't have been a better Snape. I also thought Maggie Smith was the perfect Professor McGonagall, especially after reading all the extra stuff about her on pottermore.

the only actor I really didn't think matched the books was Slughorn. I felt like the actor should have been much bigger, less timid and more boastful.

Supernova (supernovareads) | 6 comments Alan Rickman played the part well, thats a no brainer, however, my fave is Jason Issacs as Lucius Malfoy. His character continually changed throughout the movies. In the scenes he was in I was hooked.

Italia8989 In my opinion, Hagrid protrays his character the best.


message 5: by dealwithapril (new)

dealwithapril Gary Oldman as Sirius Black
Alan Rickman as Snape (OF COURSE!)

Michael Gambon as Dumbledore was so brilliant.
I mean all respect to the the late Sir Richard Harris but Gambon hit the bullseye in portraying Dumbledore.

The actor for me who did not matched the character on the book is TONKS.

Jessi | 24 comments Daniel Radcliffe perfect Harry as well as Helena Bonham Carter as Bellaxtrix

Anahita (anahitasn) | 248 comments Emma
Daniel
Maggie Smith as McGonagall
Michael Gambon as Dumbledore
But I loved Alan Rickman as Snape, he was just amazing!

Sidney Hauk | 115 comments I must say, I thought Sir Richard Harris did a lot better as Dumbledore. He was more of that humorous, sensitive headmaster. In the book Dumbledore has a smile on his face most of the time and he has sparkling blue eyes. I rarely saw Dumbledore smiling in movies 3-7 part 2.
I do agree that Alan Rickman did a wonderful job as Snape. I can't think of a better actor and whenever I here one of Snape's lines, or read something he said in a book, I hear it (in my head) as Alan Rickman's voice.

Annamarie (ilovebooks143) I AGREE HE WAS THE BEST!!!

Kristina Hedgepeth | 5 comments Whoever played Bellatrix Lestrange did an amazing job (As much as I hate the character you have to admit she was great). I also LOVED the phelps twins, they really played Fred and George well.

Harry (har1) | 11 comments Emma Watson

Ernesto (netoben) | 1 comments Alan rickman .


message 15: by Ali (new)

Ali | 86 comments Evanna Lynch as Luna was perfect.

I truly can't see Gambon as Dumbledore but it has less to with Gambon's acting and more with how he was written.


message 16: by beth (new)

beth (beth01) | 111 comments Yeah, Alan Rickman and Evanna Lynch were AWESOME!!!


message 17: by Kim (new)

Kim Lilienthal Really, everyone does a great job. But I actually think Ralph Feinnes as Voldemort could have been better. He just didn't seem evil enough to me. They didn't even make his eyes red!


message 18: by B (new)

B (deathandchocolate) | 94 comments Alan Rickman, Evanna Lynch, Maggie Smith, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint... Kenneth Branagh.

Margaux | 1 comments Daniel!


message 20: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Hyde (rachelwrites93) | 64 comments I think Rupert Grint was great, I felt as though he should've been given more screen time.

Alan Rickman as Snape - obviously and Helen Bonham-Carter as Bellatrix was also fantastic.

I think I pictured Voldermort more menacing. Ralph Fiennes was great, very creepy but not...scary? I know what I mean!

Bumba | 47 comments Mark Williams as Arthur Weasley and also Kenneth Branagh as Pr Lockhart

Keren Dror (kikitreehugger9) | 46 comments Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, and Maggie Smith


message 23: by Anita Reads (new)

Anita Reads | 49 comments Alan Rickman as Snape,
Rupert Grint as Ron
Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy.

They portraited their characters the best I think.

But there were a lot of good ones.

Alice (1Luna1) | 28 comments Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, and Evanna Lynch.

Ally Claire Thigpen | 5 comments Is it wrong to say that I sincerely enjoyed every actor and actress in that series? Because I thought that they each brought life to characters that had only existed in my head and I felt that each character was on point.


message 26: by Ally Claire (new)

Ally Claire Thigpen | 5 comments If I had to pick one character that I thought was not my favorite, it was the actress who portrayed Ginny, but that could have been the result of the script.


message 27: by Lena (new)

Lena (lena0297) Alan Rickman as Severus Snape
Emma Watson as Hermine Granger
Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange

This are my favourite actors, but there are so much others, like the actor of Lupin, who were great too.

message 30: by Bumba (new)

Bumba | 47 comments they should have given EW big frontal teeth, i thnk HG had those.And also the confusing fact is Ginny was supposed to be beautiful,( no offence to BW)


message 31: by Maria (new)

Maria (trappel) | 7 comments Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs, Emma Watson and Helena Bonham Carter were best for me


message 32: by Annamarie (new)

Annamarie (ilovebooks143) I sirusly love all of them and could not choose!! And I know it's a matter of option but I think Bonnie Wright is beautiful. And I'm pretty sure Ginny was supposed to be kinda "nerdy."


message 33: by Annamarie (new)

Annamarie (ilovebooks143) Allen Rickman was the best.


message 34: by Annamarie (new)

Annamarie (ilovebooks143) Oh and I know some may disagree but Michael Gambon did a great job as Dumbledore


message 35: by Annamarie (new)

Annamarie (ilovebooks143) Honestly I think they were both great just Michael was Dumbledore longer.

message 37: by B (new)

B | 22 comments I think Rupert did great with what he had to work with. He facial expressions were on point (especially when he was in a dangerous situation which always made me laugh!) And I loved Neville, and the Weasleys And basically everyone else! I just am too lazy to type them down.


message 38: by Lara (new)

Lara (fearfulwitch) | 2 comments I liked Evanna Lynch,because, to me,she was basically Luna Lovegood for a long time.
But Helena Bonham Carter's performance was pretty nice and all the main actors: Daniel Radcliffe,Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, were fantastic as well.

message 45: by Bijan (new)

Bijan | 2 comments Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall
Alan Rickman as Snape

They're the best for me. Though, I should say that I like most of the actors and actresses.


message 46: by [deleted user] (new)

I really liked Devon Murray as Seamus Finnegan and Sean Biggerstaff as Oliver wood.

Maggie Smith and Helena Bonham Carter are awesome actresses, no matter which characters they play.


message 47: by Brooklyn (new)

Brooklyn Tayla (bookishbrooklyn) | 833 comments Alan Rickman. He's been my favourite actor ever since I was a little girl. I'm heartbroken he's died.


message 48: by Camilap81 (new)

Camilap81 | 189 comments Alan Rickman!!!!! He's been my favorite actor since I was little because he really acts like Snape in the movies. Not many people can pretend to be serious all the time (;


message 49: by Brooklyn (new)

Brooklyn Tayla (bookishbrooklyn) | 833 comments He definitely brought our potions master to life. He will remain immortal through those epic roles that he played.


message 50: by [deleted user] (new)

The one who acted Hermione.
