Miscast - Krum & Crouch Jr


It annoyed me endlessly the way they cast Victor Krum, and especially how they portrayed him.

In the book Krum was not a jock, he wasn't full of himself and sought attention. He was uncomfortable with media or crowd attention (at the world cup as observed by Harry) and it was said specifically that he was shy (as observed by Hermoine). Also, he was good at magic and quite the reader. He was short and thin and "splay-footed", not nearly as graceful on the ground as in the air.

The way they portrayed him in the movie as an idiot jock who struts around the place was annoying to say the least!

Same things about Barty Crouch Jr. He was more than once described as blond and freckled and retiring in nature (at least in public). And just what was it with the tongue thing in the movie?! That was just so stupid.

And on another note, just where were Voldemort's red eyes?
