[Harry Potter/Marauders]

you've got to be fucking kidding me

what a terrifying prospect.

Ugh, no way.

I don't like Harry Potter, but even I know it deserves better than this.

Whatever makes a fan happy, but this is an incredibly bland fancast. How about young actors who could pass for high school age? Freeman might be a popular actor, but there is NO way he could pass as that young.

It's literally the fancast I would come up with if I was trying to make fun of fancasting

For a second I almost thought you were serious.... but no way.

I love all these actors because I love terrible television but never has a group of people looked any less like sixteen year olds.

MTE

Hahahahahaha.

Good one.

Would it kill people to cast people who are actually teenagers? Every time I see a fancasting for the marauders it's some random grab bag of popular 30 year old actors. The best thing about the Harry Potter series is that they cast actual teenagers.

That'd be cool but personally I can't even name four teenage actors, never mind four teenage actors that would be well suited for those roles.

I agree, but the thing about dream casting is there aren't that many teenage actors who have a following in fannish circles and, realistically, you might scout for some relative unknowns when casting teenagers for a movie anyway, so fans don't have much to choose from when dream casting and just gravitate towards whatever actors are popular, most of whom aren't teenagers. It's silly and it's why I rarely contemplate who I'd like to see play child/teen roles, but I understand why it happens.

People are talking about their age, but even if they were younger none of these would work for me. Especially Cumberbatch as Remus. All I see when I look at him is his arrogant Sherlock.

All I see is Master Doctor.

I think the only thing I've ever actually *seen* him in is Dr. Strange.

I've seen enough MCU for the Hiddles thing to throw me though, and even moreso, Tennant just always looks like Ten to me...(plus he was already in an HP movie!)

No matter how old James Potter looked in the movies, he died at 21, unless you're thinking about an AU. Also David Tennant played Barty Crouch Jr. in the films, so that also would not work.

Think like, Robbie Kay, Eros Vlahos, Tom Holland, Asa Butterfield or younger.

Holy fuck, no.

To think people called Thewlis and Oldman inappropriate for their roles.

jesus fucking christ

okay then

I didn't realize how much I wanted Werewolf!Benedict until now.

Well hot damn! I'd watch the hell outta that movie.

Um.........good for you, OP?

I love all of those actors and I love teh Marauders but this is an awful cast.
