Description
Another obvious choice for my Greek Harry Potter characters. Doesn't Professor McGonagall just seem like Athena? The Goddess of wisdom, strategy, battle, discipline, guidance, and chaste all seem fitting for McGonagall. Athena (who coincidentally lived in Athens
) was a high authority figure but not THE authority figure. This is similar to McGonagall's role at Hogwarts. Not to mention, Minerva is the Roman name for Athena.reference [link]

LOL!! I love this, awesome!! They do act alike! Never thought of it XP
BTW, Athens was named after Athena, after she won a battle with Poseidon by presenting the people of Athens with the olive tree, while Poseidon gave them a salt water fountain. They chose her

I do think she was named Minerva for that.
Yes, I know Athens was named after her. Just a silly joke. Kind of like saying the pilgrims left from Plymouth, England and what are the odds! They landed at Plymouth Rock, NEW England!
Oh, don't worry, I love all the Greek stories!

Hmm.. Maybe you must draw next Harry as Zeus!
But, Harry isn't so perv as Zeus..

I have been struggling for a Zeus for a while now and a suggestion from someone here (because I told her I was very open to suggestions for a lot lol) gave me a great idea. I have a surprise for Zeus!
And I think I have a good one for Harry, too!

Yeah.. Maybe Ares is a good one for Harry...

Yeah, he's The God of the War, so he's realy brave. And Harry is a brave one too!

Oh yeah, very clever
(And I think miss Rowling's choice of McGonagall's first name is anything but coincidental...

Severus, Luna, Hagrid, Malfoy, Voldemort...

The lily and petunia flower characteristics, Nagini, Pomona Sprout, Tom (who was a riddle), and Cho Chang sounds like a stereotype

Haha, yes, I think we can go on like this for a while
What about professor Vector?

Ah yes, the popular Professor Vector (not to be confused with Professor Synistra, or however it's spelled)!

Wow now I learned something new from you!

Sirius, of course, and Regulus, Andromeda, Bellatrix, and Narcissa (I think).
Or he "fudges" things up!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I mentioned Narcissa before
Heehee, that too!
I love the name 'Kreacher' too by the way, I think that was very cleverXD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was!
Olympe Maxime was clever, too.

LOL I only realised that just now, you're right
And Xenophilius... Realising what that meant made me laughXD

I just looked that up because I didn't know what it meant. "Stranger love." That's perfect!
But I hate hate hate who was cast to play him in the movie! Too young, too creepy (in a creepy way, not in the Xeno Lovegood way), didn't really fit the description, and he looked too much like Luscious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's right
Oh yeah, I know what you mean...

I've had a few. While Umbridge was perfectly evil, I think she was miscast as far as looks go. Snape is done well, but Alan Rickman is too good looking and too old (like, older than Jason Isaacs who plays Luscious and Ralph Phiennes who plays Voldemort). And Voldemort (to me) looks weird. But they all well, you know.
I LOVE McGonagall, though!

Late reply is late OTL sorry!
I can see your point there. I'm reading the HP series again and have come to the conclusion that Snape must actually be really young, in his 30s throughout the series... I never got that impression from the moviesXD He does appear so much olderXD
And yes, McGonagall is brilliant!

Lol movie Snape has nice(ish) hair that is not greasy and somewhat of a tan in the later movies.
Yes, I think the students were well cast, too. Except (here's where people will want to kill me) I kind of think Harry could have been anyone. But Dan's fine, you know. My favorite student is Tom Felton as Malfoy (in the early and later movies, not so much the middle). And I think Fleur and Ginny ARE "pretty enough." Now that I think about it, Viktor Krum is the only one I think was off in the movies.

Late reply is SUPER late OTL... SORRY!T^T
Yeah I see what you mean
Oh well, I'm not offended and I'm a pretty hardcore fan

I think I agree with all you said!

Heehee well that's good then
Except... now I have no discussion material;^; lol

Hmm. How about in the movies Voldemort looks like a burn victim and a monkey?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you really think so?

This is terrible for me to exploit like this and I pre apologize. 
He does play a good evil character and is into the role. I just kind of think something isn't quite there. I don't know what it is. The only time I thought he really looked the part was when he first came out of the cauldron in GoF. But I'm also fine with how it's done. You know. I'm just too critical, I suppose.
Aside from the nose, I kind of liked that first Voldemort on the back of the head. I like the voice better and the red eyes. 
Oh right well at least I see what you mean now...:3
And I agree with you that Ralph Fiennes plays his character well - though I also think he was better in the Goblet of Fire than in the Deathly Hallows... (so far anyway
I lol'd at that emoticon you found
