Clémence Poésy as Fleur Delacour

I thought she looked good. Especially in the part with Rita Skeeter taking their pictures.

As for her acting, she didn't have to do much. She did good with what was given. I agree with the people who say she has screen presence. I aslo didn't realize until I read this thread that she didn't speak until after the second task.

Fleur is what is known as a quinternary character, i.e. minor.

I will post my Eng Lit essay on the subject if anyone wants to read it.

....waves keyboard in a threatening manner....

Clemence didn't really have a big role and she had a total of 3 lines. But overall Clemence did make Fleur a little more likeable she wasn't as snobby as she was in the books, and I thought she acted well after the Second Task when Harry returned with Grabrielle.

I was one of the minority that actually liked the way Clemence looked. She has this natural pixieish beauty and she reminded me of a European model with her intense eyes and quirky fashion sense.

Fleur is suppose to be amazingly pretty, and a crooked nose just doesn't fit the bill.

Really? I never noticed a crooked nose.

I thought she looked good. Especially in the part with Rita Skeeter taking their pictures.

Yeah, she had this kind of grace and I dunno, "French-ish"ness with the way she smiled and all that. I also thought she had really great screen presence in the part before the first task, when Rita took a picture of Hermione hugging Harry. The way she paced around the tent and was holding something in her hand (not sure what it was, handkerchief or something, I need to watch it again). I thought it was very convincing and believable. Besides that, the way she walks and holds herself throughout the entire movie is pretty much exactly like how I pictured Fleur from the book.

I agree. Especially in some pictures of her, she really looks like one of those European models, with the pose, makeup and so on. There's just something about her eyes which can become intense with certain gazes, and also her smile.

What did you think of this actress? Did she play the part or did she kill it?

In my opinion, I think she did very well. She was very atractive just like in the book and I think she got the idea of the charecter over without much dialouge. Her screams in the movie seemed very realistic and she was just a very good actress in general.

I don't think Clémence Poésy is as pretty as Fleur is supposed to be (which is not only pretty, but drop-dead beautiful). It's funny, because I saw pictures of her in the role of Mary Queen of Scots (if you google "Clémence Poésy" you'll find pictures of her in all the films she's made to date), and she's much prettier as Mary than she is as Fleur.

You can't imagine all the boys' jaws dropping (mine certainly didn't) when she walked into the Great Hall. You can't feel any Veela magic in her either. And I don't think good screaming makes a good actress.

Besides, her role was greatly diminished in the movie. And I still can't understand why they made Beauxbatons an all-girl school and Durmstrang an all-boy school instead of co-ed like Hogwarts and like all three are in the book, but this is a different matter.

I'm siding with the people who don't think Clémence Poésy is pretty enough to play Fleur. Unfortunately I guess we're stuck with her now.

Don't get me wrong, I like the actress. But there are plenty of much prettier young French actresses who could have fit the bill, I don't know why they chose this one.

Of course she wasn't helped by the fact that, like Cho's, her role was seriously reduced in the movie compared to the book. I hope Fleur gets a bigger role in Book 7. I'd like to see who's going to play Bill Weasley also, will the actor be as handsome as the character is supposed to be?

I personally thought that for her purpose in the movie she was a fine Fleur. When I read the book I pictured somebody thta was almost unhumanly pretty, and seeing how nobody actually existed like that I thought Clemence Poesy was a good enough choice.

Fleur is a very minor character; Clemence was quite adequate for the role, which damanded little of her acting skills.

The hair, make-up and costume people did not do her any favours, but that is another matter.

I cannot say that I liked Clemence as Fleur. Clemence seemed simply in awe with Hogwarts and its operations, whereas the book Fleur always had something negative to say about the castle and how it was run. Also, Fleur's character in the book was snobbish and superior, however Clemence did nothing to keep this type of attitude. On the contrary, she made Fleur have a better attitude than most. Fleur's part required very little acting, but Clemence did the extreme low, resulting in a terrible portrayal of Fleur.

Also, I don't see Clemence nearly as pretty as she is described as. In the books I get the idea that boys stop dead in their tracks to look at her. However, I cannot picture Clemence having that effect. She is a very pretty girl, but she doesn't have that array of beauty that Fleur has in the books. Also, I'd imagine that Fleur's character would have been chosen mostly on looks since there is not a huge need for acting. However, they could probably have gotten a just as pretty girl (if not prettier) that could do a better portrayal of Fleur.

I don't think it's her fault, though. There was nothing in the script that allowed her to show Fleur's snottiness, so she couldn't really do anything. I think there just wasn't enough time to build up Fleur's character in the GoF movie. And since Fleur's character development has nothing to do with Harry's story, well, it made sense that it was ignored. About the prettiness, I don't think there's much point for them to pretty her up any more than she already was, considering that the whole Veela thing was cut.

I think Clemence has a very interesting look. I find her very attractive.
I find nothing unattractive with her nose
and she has eyes and lips that can smelt iron.

Sadly, as far as acting goes. It's like saying you liked Boba Fett in Star Wars. He says all of 3 or 4 lines (screaming into the Pit of Karkoon isn't a line, no emails please, beat me up at Dragoncon) and falls in a hole. But he looked really cool.
She just didn't get the opportunity.
But she got more than Krum that's for sure.

Personally I think Clemence is simply gorgeous. I can't believe anyone who has seen her think otherwise. However, there were a few things I didn't like about Fleur in the movie. My sister pointed it out to me but it's become obvious once you look at the girls outside of Harry Potter that they decided to downplay all the other girls in GOF because they may have wanted Hermione (Yule Ball) to have more of an impact, even Fleur since they did away with her Veela storyline. The Patil girls are so beautiful and so is Clemence outside of the Harry Potter movie. This is the same with Bonnie. They really dressed her down, sometimes having her looking like a boy. It will be interesting if they continue to do this for the remaining movies. I also didn't like that the only way Fleur didn't seem totally incompetent against the boys was when Moody made his comment about her not being a fairy princess. This wasn't what was shown though. The outcome was the same as the book but I think the director did more of a job of undermining Fleur and women in general than Jo did in her book. I agree with the person that said that the treatment of women in HP & GoF was not good.

God how does she go out in public...;)

she's hot but not nearly hot enough

she's like that girl's pretty hot

the book describes super model hot

I really couldn't tell from Goblet of Fire if she was a good Fleur because she had so few lines. I couldn't really tell if she had that heavy accent that J.K. Rowling makes her have in the book. Or was it just me?

Appearance wise, I think she is definately as pretty as the book described, though it was a little off from what I imagined. I kind of imagined her to have a thinner face. But all in all I thought she looked pretty much like what I had imagined.

In physical features, pronunciation, gesture, etc. I thought her character lost the funny over-the-top elements of Fleur.

I don't think it is the actor's fault. She had very few lines.

I agree. One of the funny things is her French accent, and she has so few lines you barely hear it. I have the same beef with the translation (I read the whole series both in English and French). They couldn't find a way to transpose her accent so they did away with it.

To be fair, in GoF, you don't yet see much of her mannerisms (flinging her hair back or walking like a ballerina for example), it comes out more once she comes to stay at the Burrows. We'll see how that transposes on the screen.

By the way, Clémence Poésy is an actress, not an actor. Or maybe you think Elizabeth is the King of England??? http://www.avenueviet.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif

It seems to be fashionable/politically correct/whatever nowadays to refer to female thespians as "actors".

Clemence has a strong French accent.

She did a good job overall...but I was confused by her hair.Weren't they supposed to be beautiful,silvery blonde??She didn't seem much like a part-veela but she was beauteous nonetheless...

It seems to be fashionable/politically correct/whatever nowadays to refer to female thespians as "actors".

Either that or people are too lazy to use the proper term.

I think it is a tomato/tomatoe sort of thing.

Thanks, for the clarification Muggle Magic.

I studied Tudor-Stewart England for years at school. However, I was never sure if Elizabeth was a king or not.

However, I was never sure if Elizabeth was a king or not.

In English, she would be a queen regnant (not to be confused with a queen consort, which would be the wife of a king excepting Mary II who was a co-monarch).

Either that or people are too lazy to use the proper term.

I thought it's because there's no actual need to differentiate a female or male "actor". Like, you don't call a female doctor "doctoress", right? So we can just call someone who acts, an actor, regardless of whether they are female or male (unless the person, for some reason, really needs to know whether the actor is female or male).

well i think she did ok, but she wasn't as beautiful, (to me ) as she was described.. she should be congratulated on her part though

I think she was a great actress but she wasn't drop dead I'm going to jump off the astronmany tower to impress her pretty.

In the beginning I didn't like her at all. Maybe due to the movie poster, she looked artificial. But I liked her in the little scenes she had. Although I can't see her as the annoying Fleur from HBP as of yet. She was very lovable in GoF, but she is a good actress, she will pull it of.

The word "doctoress" doesn't exist in English (it used to in French but fell into disuse, but that's another story), whereas the word "actress", like the word "queen", do exist and should be used. At the Academy Awards (Oscars or Césars or any other movie/tv acting awards) there are different categories for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress.

Someone else raised the issue of "political correctness". I'd call it "fashion" more than anything. For a time, it was fashionable (and thus politically correct) to say "chairwoman" when the person presiding over some proceedings or other was a woman. Women insisted on feminization of the words for titles and professions. It's still a big battle in France. Now for some reason, a woman is a "hero" (the word "heroine" does exist) or even a "god" - except nobody ever called Venus the God of Love...

Back to Clémence Poésy. I still think she's not as breathtakingly beautiful as Fleur is supposed to be, but she does a very creditable job with what few lines and scenes were given her to do. I wonder how she'll be in the OoTP movie.

I thought, considering that she said like 10 words in a whole movie, any prettier girl could have done it. French or not..
but I guess she was ok. I just imagined the hair to be more blond, a lot longer, and a perfect straight nose.

exactly. She was supposed to be tall. have waist length blond hair, which sort of glowed, and a very striking face. Also, in the movie, she did not seem to have the Veela effect, possibly because the movie didnt even MENTION Veelas. and what was with all the stupid "hhaaaaa" and butterflies.

It is quite likely that there will be no Bill-Fleur in the movies. The movie GOF did not include the scene where they first met and she eyed him with interest. Therefore, we may very well have seen the last of Clemence Poesy as Fleur Delacour.

no, i think that we will see her again, ecpecially in the last film because bill and fleur have to have their wedding. Plus there needs to be some light moments in the film

Clémence Poésy....I really didn't have any complaints with her selection as Fleur. As far as the script went, she did an excellent job and really, unless you wanted to fish in Gemma Ward or someone like that, she's the best choice there was. And very French, too.

She looked like I thought Fleur would. But she wasn't enough of a cow. I've just reread HBP and they all HATE her. She always talks over them and whines. This side is a lot more dominant in her character than the nice side, which is the only side we see in the movie.

i think that Clemence Poesy is by far the best one to play Fleur Delacour. she play the part very well in my opion.:gryff:

I thought she was good, and basically identical to how I imagined her except with shorter hair.

I think she did a pretty good job, too bad we did not see more of her!!
Its just...besides the fact I missed her wavy full hair, she was too nice! fleur in the books keeps whining about the draughty corridors, she seems a bit more arrrogant, until after the lake. BUT I think she played her part well, we see her more from the side we see at the end of book 6, when shes in the hospital wing with Bill :-) I really like her then

i would have to say that clemence poesy play a great fleur delacour. she plays the part well with a good head on her. she does not over react in any of the parts. i have seen the movie and she play her parts very good. she has a very good acennt on her in this movie:gryff:

I personally didnt think she was a very good Fleur. Of course I think that they could have used ten seconds for Ron or someone to say "Bloody hell she's a veela..." Ithink they could have gotten someon who was prettier because Fleur is supposed to be DROP DEAD GORGEOUS...almost hypnotic...

I have lowered my expectations of the movies considerably after POA. She was good enough. The wall eye was freaking me out a little. I didn't know if she was looking at Harry or Cedric.

I expected them to get someone prettier than her. I know they can't someone as pretty as a veela, but should have got someone closer to one. She didn't even look French. As for the acting, there really wasn't that much to judge on.

I read Goblet of Fire for the first time in the two weeks before the movie came out and she is exactly as i pictured her.

I liked her ... She was all nice and pretty. And she played well enough. :D

Others have mentioned it, and sorry if I sound shallow but I thought she wasn't pretty enough, more should have been done to her hair (extentions, platinum blond), I think these would have helped. She wasn't what I expected. As an actress, she did fine, but like others have said she didn't really have much of a role. My main gripe is the looks dept!!!

I don't see why, I think she's gorgeous even if it isn't in the Hollywood way, and she did a good job of what she was given.
On a side note: she looks really good offscreen.And on it, she clearly has the je ne sais quoi I'd expect of Fleur. Nicolas Ghesquiere of Balenciaga seems to agree, since he was behind putting her on the April cover of i-D magazine.

Fleur is my favorite character in the book. I did expect her to look prettier in the movies but I think she did a very good job anyways.

"the book describes super model hot"

My point exactly! In fact, she's bound to be even hotter than the hottest model being a Veela, therefore a supernatural beauty. In my imagination this leads to the images of the hottest from the hot: Catherine Deneuve (for a real French taste but you have to be older or to look her up on the Internet to get the idea) or Charlize Theron for a more widely known and recent image.
Sorry, I don't know any actress from Great Britain and its surroundings that might really fit the description.
Catherine Zeta-Jones might be good looking enough yet would not be "blonde" or snobbish enough to be accurate (too gentle, lovely looking) while Kate Winslet might have been able to play arrogant enough to embody Fleur yet she'll always strike me as a sexy, fiery plump redhaired girl rather than some almost eerie blonde supernatural Sylphid.

Charlize Theron might still qualify as British and would have been able to play the part but... was she too expensive or not interested in the kind of movie? I must admit that she does not look specifically French but then again she has enough talent to generate the illusion that she is, while looking very Fench (Like Posey does) does not compensate for looking ordinary rather than extraordinary.

With regards to her being British, didn't JK insist that all parts had to played by Brits, UNLESS the part said they were from another country, Fleur was from France, they could have chosen another french actress, maybe Vanessa Paradisie (Johnny Depp's misses)

I think Clemence Poesy did a very good job of playing Fleur, although she wasn't as snotty as I wished her to be. She is v pretty, but not she did not look as...what's the word?...perfect as a girl with Veela blood would look, in my mind.

You're right, it could have been any (extraordinary, mind you) French actress playing the part of Posey. Mind you, I would not have chosen Vanessa Paradis. I have one in mind but can't remember her name right now.

CW

The book isn't the movie. In the movie, it's enough for Fleur to be a girl who captures Ron's attention (for whatever reason), and I guess we can live with that. I still think she's hot, though. And Vanessa Paradis is very cool, but hardly the right choice to play a seventeen-year-old schoolgirl.

"The book isn't the movie."

Why not? The movies should put the books into images, not loosely interpret it. Not when we're talking about the work of (I'll drop genius) a superior writer.
I have seen movies wich were very true to the books they were born from.
Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources (Manon of spring), among others. You might not know them since they are French movies but they are a great exemple. No, ALL the tiny details were not kept in the movies YET it was incredibly true to the books.
And it only takes a bit of an effort from the movie team along with...some modesty!
So many film directors want to "interpret it their way" for no other production reasons than their own Ego... pity. Some of them, like Cuaron IMO, are great at creating the visual aspect of a story (OK, except for the bare Werewolf. I looked up the Internet and they were all hairy as I had always known them to be...) but are 0 at "translating" a book into a film script (or choosing the right person to do it) just because they "want to do it their way".

I don't think there is any excuse for the movies "not to be like the books". Apart from laziness which is not an excuse, IMO.

CW

not as pretty as I had thought her.and well she didnt act much did she..

Overall, I thought that Clemence Poesy did very well as Fleur, especially in the scene right after the second task. She did a good job conveying how important Fleur's sister was to her. The only problem I had was her reaction to Rita Skeeter. When Rita tapped her on the cheek during the interview, she just sat there and kept a small smile on her face. Fleur always seemed to me as the kind of person who would be shocked by Rita's audacity.

shes not phlegm enough is she.

"shes not phlegm enough is she"

No, she's not, IMO.
She's supposed to be "supernaturally" beautiful (as a Veela), superior and arrogant. Yet from what we've seen so far in the movies she's only been just "normal"... way too nice and ordinary, IMO...

CW

yes,i dont see her as phlegm in my mind ,i have my own phlegmClemense poesy way to natural for a part veela.

I thought that she was a good actress, and I thought she was pretty enough, but she wasn't, I agree, phlegm enough. After seeing the movie it's easy to like Fleur, but in the book she's supposed to be full of herself and annoying. Clemence Poesy didn't portray that well, so I think she'll have trouble if she does the 6th movie.

I did think that she was pretty enough though. She IS supposed to be supernatuarlly beautiful, but it'd be hard finding someone who WAS that pretty and who could act half-decent as well.

yes,they get their head up and act to ofullof themselves ,as fleur did,yeah totaly with u.I dont think shell be in six though.

I know beauty is subjective, but I think Clemence Poesy is a bit too ordinary looking to be the absolute head-turner Fleur is supposed to be. (But then again, I don't get Uma Thurman's supposed beauty either.) My 17 year old son disagrees with me on this, so perhaps both age and gender affect one's perception of Clemence's (and probably Uma's) beauty. And the Veela subject was never introduced in the movie, was it? So I guess she didn't need to have that almost supernatural effect on males.

In terms of her acting, I thought she was quite convincing. Maybe she wasn't totally haughty, but I did think she had a certain air of superiority about her that was appropriate.

"I don't get Uma Thurman's supposed beauty either.) "

To me, Uma's beauty is more about charm and personality while Fleur's is supposed to be extremely plastic and superficial/arrogant at first sight.
Emmanuelle Béart (a French actress) could have been a perfect Fleur a few years ago when she was still rather young (she's probalby about 40 now). The way she was looking (she's had her already more than fine lips blasted with loads of collagen...). and behaving in Manon of Spring except with more princess style and appearance would have been perfect. Drop dead gorgeous yet so arrogant you feel like slapping her from left to right (It's worth an image search on Google, trust me).

"I know beauty is subjective, but I think Clemence Poesy is a bit too ordinary looking to be the absolute head-turner Fleur is supposed to be."

You know what? I think beauty can be subjective when we're talking about cuteness or charm. But who, for an exemple, would say Charlize Theron is not beautiful? She might not be someone's style, OK, but she is still goodlooking to everyone. That is what I call superior beauty and that is what Fleur should be according to the books decription. IMO.

Since, as people said, the Veela subplot was never introduced in the film, I don't see how it matters that she didn't look as the book described her. She's certainly good-looking enough to catch a boy's fancy, and that's all she really needed to do here. And, for what it's worth, she's a decent actress.

"Since, as people said, the Veela subplot was never introduced in the film, I don't see how it matters that she didn't look as the book described her. "

Because she was not using her Veela "charm" when she crossed the main hall to get the bouillabaisse yet she made several heads turn. And since comparison can't be overlooked, it doesn't make much sense that Clémence Poésy (Fleur) would make heads turn more than Emma (Hermione) does...
Besides, the Veela part, like many other aspects of the books, might very well be considered as "understood" in the movies since it is so obvious that the latter are made assuming that the audience has previously read the books.

"She's certainly good-looking enough to catch a boy's fancy"

One, or even a few boy's fancy, sure. But she's far from being a head turner like she is in the book (even when she does not use her Veela charm). There's a huge difference between a cute girl and a head turner. And you might not know them for I don't know where you come from but there are so many much better looking young French actresses out there that it makes absolutely no sense that they couldn't find a real head turner among them.

CW

Yes, but Emma Watson, in the film, isn't playing an older French schoolgirl, and I know enough about boys to guess that some of them or a lot of them might be slightly put off a girl if she has a reputation as a bookworm and a know-it-all- something Hermione is encumbered with and Fleur isn't. Clemence isn't pretty in a conventional way, but I certainly think she's interesting to look at, much in the manner of Irina Lazareanu or Erin O'Connor. It's all down to individual tastes, I suppose- and those can vary. Plus, facial features aren't the only thing that matters in the impression a girl makes on boys- her general demeanour, I felt, was fairly spot-on, given what she had to work with.
And given that no one so much as says the word 'Veela' in the film, I thought the non-factoring of that storyline was an easy assumption to make.

I think clemence poesy did a great job as fleur... im really looking forward to the 6th movie to see if they use her in the movie or not as fleur delacour is in the begining of book 6.

i think her role in half blood is not that impoirtant i mean they need the minutes to tell the horcurx story plus harry ginny moments have to be fitted in so i doubt we will be seeing her in 6

I agree, she won't be in 6, but will have to be in 7 as I can't imagine that they'd leave out the Wedding!!! (which should be taking place????)

OKAY. I tend to click on the characters I don't fully support.

This isn't a strike against her acting, I thought for her part she did very well. But appearance matters to me, especially in the movies because you spend all your time reading the books and imagining it in your head, so when it comes out different than you expect, it's important.
I was so excited to see who they'd pick to portray this beautiful character with long glowing blonde hair. Being part veela, whether you've read the books or not, I expected them to pick someone not so average looking.
She's pretty. But in my opinion she's supposed to be the most gorgeous woman in the books, and all the boys in Hogwarts fawn over her.
They could have picked someone generally prettier. After all, that is her whole appeal. Her personality and attitude comes from being so gorgeous, as she says to the Weasley's in book 6 "I am good-looking enough for the both of us don't you think?" in reference to her fiance's werewolf attack.

LAst point: In the scene where she picked her dragon in the first task, she looked rather scared and weak. She's supposed to be so vibrant and strong with attitude. Not a scared little girl.

She did well enough with what she had to do but she didn't look at all Veela-ish

Yeah, I guess she was alright.....:tu:

She was awesome! She is pretty, but they haven't overdone it at all! She's perfect, and I kinda dread watching how she's going to be criticized by Molly and the girls in Movie 6. But I'm very interested abt the bed scene when she takes care of Bill!

LAst point: In the scene where she picked her dragon in the first task, she looked rather scared and weak. She's supposed to be so vibrant and strong with attitude. Not a scared little girl.

She messes up in the book. She messes up in the film. She is a completely unimportant character.

i think her role in half blood is not that impoirtant i mean they need the minutes to tell the horcurx story plus harry ginny moments have to be fitted in so i doubt we will be seeing her in 6

Let us hope we will see her back in the seventh...

Call me crazy, but I think the chick that plays Tonks in OotP is quite the head turner.

The one this thread was started about though...no.

whew I think I am not into liking Tonks... (no bashing intended) :p
I like Poesy better...
she's an artist...

I thought she was good at acting and it was a shame she didn't have more lines. I hope she's in HBP because i like that part of the book, it makes me laugh. :lol:

I loved Fleur as a character, and frankly, I think Clemence is gorgeous. My well-known crush on Fleur started the moment I saw her in the GoF movie. Is she exactly as described in the book? No, but neither is Hermione, and everyone seems to love Emma.

I truthfully think Clemence is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, and I think she's perfect for the part.

I think she's gorgeous too, and I really didn't understand what people were on about when they said she wasn't as good-looking as Fleur should be.
Firstly, in the movie she isn't introduced as a Veela, so it doesn't really matter. And secondly, any actress who's good enough to make me not realise, till I'm out of the theatre and discussing it here, that she didn't speak a word onscreen till the end of the Second Task, deserves a round of applause.

I just watched GoF again last night with my wife, and she playfullly smacked me three times, because I kept giving a little content sigh whenever Clemence would appear on screen. If that isn't gorgeous, I dunno what is. LOL

Great Job by Poesy i think she did well with the little that she had but i wouldnt expect her to be back in 6 or 7. I think the wedding will be tonks and lupin

shes not phlegm enough is she.

It isn't really Posey's fault, but Fleur's character was really, really flat in the movie. If the character could've been cut, she surely would have. Instead, she was a Mary Sue with little to no importance or characterization, other than 'pretty Tournament participant from France'.

I also asked all my friends if Posey spoke English. I was seriously puzzled; where were all her lines? She didn't say more than ten words, unless I'm mistaken, and... I dunno. I just didn't understand the direction (or lack thereof) that movie makers gave Fleur. I suppose it isn't important, but flat anybody doesn't work, IMHO.

Well, I think she did well, but for Fleur I think she should've been more attractive. Anyways I hope we see more of her in Half Blood Prince and the Deathly Hallows.

And secondly, any actress who's good enough to make me not realise, till I'm out of the theatre and discussing it here, that she didn't speak a word onscreen till the end of the Second Task, deserves a round of applause.Now that you mention it, I can't even remember any of her dialogue! But I think she still played the part of Fleur quite well. I'm interested to know how much of her we'll get to see in HBP. I kind of hope we'll get to see her with Bill, but I'm not sure how much will be cut out of the movie.

Clemence is so cute, she's perfect for Fleur, she's just how I expected Fluer to be . I really hope we see more of her in the Half Blood Prince, I wish they dont replace Fluer and Bill with Remus and Tonks.

This was one of the choices I actually didn't like very much. Clemence is very pretty, but she isn't the stunning makes you stop thinking girl that's described in the books. Besides that though, she does a pretty good job at playing Fleur.

Yeah. Same thing I thought about for Bonny Wright (Ginny): Great actress, wish she was a little prettier. That said, we haven't seen her as Fleur for a year and a half...:whistle:

I'm glad for Clémence's sake that you think so, but I agree with those who don't think she's nowhere pretty enough (like "drop-dead beautiful") to play Fleur. Unfortunately for her also, her role was drastically reduced.

Someone who thought the same about Clémence, and is writing a fan fic based on the HP series, have pictures of Emilie de Ravin instead, in the role of Fleur. Emilie is still not as "drop-dead beautiful" as I'd like, but she's prettier than Clémence, at least in my opinion.

See here, and tell me what you think:

even though she did a good job, i think she could have been cast better...someone who looks more realistically that age and also prettier:S

she acted well, but I didn't think she looked the part.

No, I disagree. Clemence was of that age category, she did look seventeen or even eighteen. However, the actor chosen could be prettier with hair that was more silvery. However, I have no other complaints about her.:tu:

Is she returning for DH?

She didn't have much to do in Goblet of Fire, but she did a good job with what he had.

Nice looking too.

She was no way as pretty as the girl in my mind, but she did a good job.

Is she returning for DH?

Yes, I believe she is. Probably to do the wedding scene, since Bill has been cast as well.

Yeah, she was definitely no veela :no:

I don't think the wedding scene would work very well without a bride! And the entire story would not have started neatly without the wdding escape.:lol:
