he and the fellow that plays neville are the most changed. rowling said she didn’t recognize the kid who plays neville when they started shooting hp7. if she didn’t know who he was i bet she thought the kid who plays dudley was a complete stranger.
Is it me or does he actually look kind of like Malfoy now (if he had bleached hair of course)?
Trivia from that article: his grandfather was Patrick Troughton (Dr. Who, 1966-1969).
He lost it a couple of times. Once when getting rid of Hagrid’s dragon and the other time in the tunnel leading to the shrieking shack.
I thought he looked like Neville’s twin brother, actually.
Will somebody please refresh my memory:
Snape and Yaxley give conflicting information as to when Harry is to be transported to safety. Which one is correct?
If it’s Snape, which IIRC it is, then why does he feed that information to the Death Eaters when it could get Harry and others killed? Why doesn’t he just let them go with the false info?
Because, as we learn when Harry sees Snape’s memories in the Pensieve, Dumbledore tells Snape to give half the truth about Harry’s escape to Voldemort so that Voldemort will keep on trusting Snape.
What was the half he left out?
Multiple Harry’s.
Thanks.
Maybe on the DVD they’ll have commentary from Jeffrey Donovan of Burn Notice. “If you’re going to be a good double agent during an evil wizard’s reign of terror you need to remember a few things. All of the info you give the Dark Lord must be legit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t leave out some key bits of info. Tell them the Chosen One is going to be airlifted at such and such a time and place but leave out there will be several of him and lots of gratuitous shirtlessness…”. Of course magic or no magic Fi would take down Bellatrix in 12 seconds.
A bit of useless trivia: Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley) is the son of Brendan Gleeson (Mad-Eye Moody).
Huh. I always thought better of Molly Weasley.
It isn’t like you think. Mad-Eye noticed Molly at a cookbook convention without her hubby. Moody just happened to have some polyjuice potion and a couple of Gilderoy Lockhart’s hairs.
The rest is history.
No. Mind you, I don’t think either of them ever had a spoken line.
Background characters, eh? No respect.
I thought that by the end of the series, Dudley had lost weight and gotten into sports. So that would have fit. Maybe it wouldn’t have fit into a half minute bit, though.
He does have a bit of a wandering eye.
And we have a winner! 
He didn’t so much lose weight as redistribute it–he got into boxing and grew from fat kid to overweight but much more muscular young man. Dudley was never svelte, even at the end. I picture him built more like some of the professional wrestlers that are kind of doughy but still strong and in decent shape.
In the book, Voldemort was remembering the last time he had been to this village, and was replaying that scene in his own mind as he approached what he supposed was about to be his unfinished business meeting with Harry Potter. And Harry was going through the mind-meld the way he does when Voldemort is either physically close or unusually angry.
[Ron Weasley]That was bloody brilliant![/Ron Weasley]
In the book, when do they realize that speaking the name Voldemort has been hexed? I thought it came later but apparently twas hexed all along.
Ron found that out when he was on hiatus from the camping trip. He tells Harry and Hermione when he finds them again.
