The Luna I pictured was definately not this one. Does anyone know the news story of the runaway bride from last year? - a much younger and slightly blonder version of her is more of what I was thinking. But with a good hair job and a good talent for the role, I think just about anyone could play her - Luna's character is very distinct.
Now, that said, the actress who played Fleur was so off the mark it was appalling! I'll admit she was pretty, but not stunning or breath taking - and where was the silvery sheet of blond hair?
And while I'm at it... whoever said they didn't like Hermione's hair at the Yule Ball? I agree! It was not sleek or in a shining knob. AND! Viktor Krum was waaaaay too handsome and agile and un-surly from my mind's image.
A thousand times is not enough times to say how glad I am that I have read the books first!! Maybe the casting agents, wardrobe and makeup artists, and directors should study their subject a little harder?
