A gorgeous GoF photoshoot of the actors can be found over here. I especially love this photo in particular:

Discussion about why you really shouldn't bash Cho over here.

I finally, finally, am writing my Cho fic. It has been years since I first had this idea, and it is finally starting to come together. And I'm awfully excited because I'm so totally ready to leave HP fandom. I just need to finish this and I'm done.

OMG Dan Radcliffe is such a DORK!
And I LOVE Emma's shoes :)

I am divided re: Emma's shoes, but I think your comment is funny because all the discussion re: this photo shoot I have seen today has commented that Emma looks gorgeous but that she made a terrible shoe decision.

[dear-prudence.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying it's high fashion or anything. But I still love them *grin*

I emailed you a bunch of stuff toda. But I have sent off the app. now :p

Oh Katie, why with the bleach? Why why why? I swear, there's some kind of anti-fashion brainwashing that goes on in the kids' on-set tutoring. And I am SO accepting of weird fashion choices and bizarre hairdos, but this cast continually takes the cake.

The CAKE, man.

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

I know! Also, the crazy mullet-ish haircut she's got going. Not so good.

OK, Fleur looks gorgeous in that photo shoot. How did they manage to make her so ungorgeous in every single in-character thing I've seen thus far?

Cho is, as I've thought since I first saw the casting new, perfect. (Is it just me, or do a lot of people seem to be all "she's asian, wrong!"? Sometimes I wonder what fucking books other people are reading.)

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

When Katie Leung was first cast as Cho, I remember reading a lot of discussions that pissed me off quite a lot. People questioning her suitability and people commenting how Cho isn't Asian, thus making her incorrectly cast.

It's funny, but I'm so unquestioning of the fact that Cho is Chinese that I'd actually forgotten all about those arguments. Man they pissed me off.

Fleur is gorgeous. and you are right: they've made her ungorgeous. Is it because they want Hermione to be prettier? (OMG CONSPIRACY!)

[cupiscent.livejournal.com]

I'm so unquestioning of the fact that Cho is Chinese

Well, yeah. I mean, what's to question? Her name is Cho Chang. She has long straight black hair. I assumed she was significantly Chinese, if not entirely. (I've been very pleased with the way JKR describes people, doesn't sling a racial name at them and leave us to fill in the blank.) WTF crack do people smoke out there?

By "leave HP fandom," you surely must mean "start writing Katie/Robert RPF."

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

OMG SHUSH I'VE TOTALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

cf this icon: THEY WERE AT SOME RANDOM MOVIE PREMIERE TOGETHER! !

!

[gobsmackit.livejournal.com]

Mmm, premiere!fic, I would read it and love it and keep it for my very ownnnn. *daydreams about cheekbones*

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

I'M TOTALLY GOING TO WRITE THIS FIC.

*makes note in diary*

[gobsmackit.livejournal.com]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

!!! That's so exciting! No pressure, though. :D

[sloanesomething.livejournal.com]

It actually looks like Fleur is going to devour her.

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

Well, Fleur is a Veela after all.

I finally, finally, am writing my Cho fic.

Thank the blessed Cylons, finally!

Ced's just beautiful, I'm distressed by Emma's stubby legs *but* she IS wearing the blue dress...and yay for Daniel looking normal. I adore Katie's hair like whoa.

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

OMG! There should totally be less sarcasm from YOUR corner, young lady!

[zeplum.livejournal.com]

*looks innocent* What? What am I holding out on, hmmmm?


What, the Java remix? That's like one of those ancient Chinese texts or something, the ones that took 100 years to put down on paper.

[corvidae9.livejournal.com]

EEE! Teh pretteh! I have to say, I'm totally down with Emma's shoes, but not with that dress. :P The coat was excellent though. Katie's hair though? No. Just-- get help.

They're all so bloody cute though. *pinches bottoms cheeks all around*

There are some really nice icons of that picture here:

It looks like Clemence and Robert are both trying to kiss her. Hee.

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

This option is also acceptable.
