everything that happens in the ministry scenes in the movie is very different from the book… i’m not really one of those nitpickers, cause to be honest i have a lousy memory and i can’t tell anymore what’s in the books, in the movies or in fanfictions i’ve read. but i hate the ‘good one, james!’ line that isnt in the book, and one thing that has always bugged me in the OotP movie was that i wanted to see more of remus’ reaction to sirius’ death (yeah, i know, im a sadist)… in the book,
“Lupin turned away from the archway as he spoke. it sounded as though every word was causing him pain.”
and i wanted to see that in the movies and for some reason i thought it wasn’t there, until i started ‘gifing’ this scene. gifs can be beautiful things in that you can capture little details that might go unnoticed in the heat of the moment and in the rapidness of some scenes. i mean, i love david - he and gary used to not be my remus and sirius, but they are both so great that i came around - and never doubted his ability to deliver it…
but i had never really noticed how well he played this scene. forget harry for a bit (DanRad did a tremendous job here) and look at remus, his pain… it looks like he is holding on to harry as much as he is trying to contain him…
