Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

You mean Benjamin Button? Yeah, they did a good job making Brad Pitt old there. He looked exactly like Robert Redford!

Re: Re-cast the movies!
I've been watching a Miss Marple which had Peter Davison in it and I thought what a good Lupin he'd make. He comes over very gentle and kind (despite being the murderer in that particular programme!)

She's not British, but god Kate Micucci is literally EXACTLY, carbon-copy perfect for Tonks imo.

Wow she really is! I wonder how well she would have played Tonks if cast?

Although I like Peter Davison well enough, I'm not sure he'd be good in that role. I have to say that of the "modern" era of Doctor Who, I was a bit disappointed in his portrayal there. I don't think that's a good genre for him. He seems well suited for a different sort of character -- he was quite good in The Last Detective series, for example.

Actually, I'd like to see Depp take a shot at being Snape....assuming that having Alan Rickman again would be out of the question.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff...

What about the original choice, Tim Roth, for Snape?

Actually I like Roth, I think he's a fine actor, but he's just not Snape. It would be interesting to see his interpretation; he did say he'd have been a different Snape. I wonder about his costume since the buttoned up Snape was AR's idea.

Re: Re-cast the movies!
I agree I can't quite see Tim Roth as Snape but I could see him playing Voldemort.

Re: Re-cast the movies!
He's got too much nose to be Voldemort, lol

(and I've got nothing against noses, mind you...)

Not strictly British but I watched Donald Sutherland in "The Eagle" last night and he would have made a wonderful Dumbledore.

Re: Re-cast the movies!
I would love to see Adrian Brody as snape...

I looove Alan Rickman, so no complaints.

Johnny Depp is the obvious choice for Sirius..


I think they did a brilliant job casting...

That's no problem. The CGI pretty much removed Ralph Fiennes's nose.

True, and I think Tim Roth does evil brilliantly!

I think she would make a brilliant Narcissa Malfoy.

Re: Re-cast the movies!
Ok, lemme see.

Dumbledore: either Michael Caine or Charles Dance. Wait, I actually think Charles Dance could make a good DE, maybe Yaxley?

Lupin: The Fassbender for sure.

Snape: I really could see Daniel-Day Lewis. He's a bit too handsome for Snape though. But something about him reminds me of Snape. I think it might be his lankness and he's really quite angular.

McGonagall: I cannot even contemplate it. Maggie Smith is near perfection for the role!

Umbridge: Meryl Streep. Seriously. Imelda Staunton was amazing, but I would kill to see le Streep at it.

Lockhart: Kenneth Branagh or Colin Firth.

Draco: Jack Gleeson. He plays a blonde snot well enough in Game of Thrones.

Sirius: Mark Strong.

Hmm, I can't think of any more. Heck, just divide the roles equally between Meryl Streep and Gary Oldman. That outta do it.

Re: Re-cast the movies!
Bob Hoskins -- Professor Slughorn
Nicole Kidman -- Narcissa Malfoy
Daniel Day-Lewis -- Fenrir Greyback
Karen Gillian -- Lily Potter (Please?)
Aaron Johnson-- James Potter (Please also?)
Johnny Depp or Robert Downey, Jr -- Sirius Black (however, OOTP Gary Oldman has now been imprinted in my brain as Sirius Black)
Julian Sands -- Remus Lupin (Though, again, David Thewlis has been imprinted on my brain!)
Angela Lansbury -- Bathilda Bagshot
