Clémence Poésy as Fleur Delacour

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 thought she did a great job! She may not have had much to do, but her presence alone was enough to get the point across. A little bit of subtlety goes a long way--I wish the directors would take that approach for some of the other characters, instead of over-doing them to the point of making the performances too campy. But anyway, Fleur was great; beautiful, charming, and believable.

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.

I think she did a fine job, for what she had written for her. I just expected more veela moments in the movie.

I found it funny that most of the Beauxbaton girls were more good-looking than her. She looked quite ordinary actually, pretty girl nonetheless.

I just felt really confused about her hair. I mean, Fleur's hair is supposed to be her most distinctive physical feature, and they just ignored it, made it a mousetail instead...Of course, it isn't mentioned she's part Veela in the movie, so it's not mandatory, but still, it isn't all that hard to make?
Otherwise, I think she did the role very well.

I liked her. Shame we didn't see her meet Bill, but of course there wasn't time for everything. (Although there was time for pointless things, like Rita Skeeter, and not enough time for the confrontation with Voldemort and what came after.)
I hope they have her back in movie 5 and/or 6.

I thought she did a good job. I expected her to talk more, but we will definately see her talent in HBP and (insert book 7 here).

Why would they have her back in movie 5? She isn't in book 5!

I really liked the actress they chose to portray Fleur Delacour. She was just as pretty as what the book portrays Fleur to be, in my opinion. Also, even though she was not given very many lines she got the point of her character across very easily. I really wished they would have given her more lines but if she's in the future movies (6th) maybe she will have more lines.

They made her kind of wimpy,she didnt seem to be as positive and assertive as she was in the book,but I thought she made good fleur.And I agree they needed to do more with her hair,but as staed in alot of threads we wonder if Kloves and the last 2 directors every read any of the books.

i thought she did a good job in the movie, I would have liked to see more of her than of Neville, in my opinion. hopefully we see her again.

Kloves did. I mean he read the 6th book, so he must have read 4th. How do you expect him to write a script if he hadn't read the book? lol. Mike newell also said that he has read the 4th book.

If they have at least given Clemence a wig with the hair like it's described in the book, it would have been perfect.

She wasn't quite as beautiful or haughty, but I thought she did a wonderful job. One of the few pleasant surprises in the movie. She was a bit too likeable tho. One of *** reasons I love the character Fleur is that she's so arrogant that she makes every girl hate her. Actually, all the Beauxbaton girls seem to be jealous of and hate each other. Totally over the top and funny. Then, she becomes loveable when she shows vulnerability during the 2nd task. You don't really like her until then.

The movie Fleur was pretty much likeable since you first meet her. Not as much fun, but her character is a relatively unimportant part of the overall plot so I don't stress that much on the changes.

She was alright. I expected her to be much more attractive however being part Veela.

I agree. In the 6th book there will be no reason for any of the girls(Mrs. Weasley, Hermione, and Ginny) to be upset about her engagement to Bill. There's no reason not to like her, they made her too nice and kinda wimpy, as someone mentioned before. But, as i doubt that the directors are going to follow the book so close, it doesnt matter. Fleur (or clemence) did a great job, i loved how in the end, she was the only one (Besides the teachers) not cheering and clapping for harry, she realized something was wrong and that scream was like the cherry on a sundae, a perfect finish to such a great scene!
