Though in all fairness to whoever plays Fleur, I have no idea whom to pick or whatever CGI magick to do to her to create that all-encompassing Veela attraction. As witnessed countless times in threads on this board, every time people bring up a female and go 'Boy she's hot!!!' there's inevitably somebody going 'Meh. She doesn't do it for me' (and I'm not talking about our gay population).
Finding someone appealing to every straight male (or at least every one under a certain age) was a losing proposition from the word go.

The Chamber of Secrets was on TV last night, and during some of the commercial breaks they showed clips of the movie, including a scene during the dance when Hermione says something to Harry, Ron and Ron's date (who's sort of in a snit), asking them if they want Viktor and her to get them drinks, and Ron leans past Harry to say no with a jealous air. They had the actors (Emma Watson and Rupert Grint) talking about how Ron and Hermione's relationship changes in Goblet of Fire, and during the actors' comments, they showed a bit more of that clip of Ron's crooked smile, and--it could've just been the sequence of the clips they showed--it really seemed like it was in response to Hermione's dress.Crown wrote:Sorry babe, Ron isn't smiling at Hermione, he's in the dorm rooms, and if they keep the scene consistant in the movie, they don't see Hermione until the actual ball.Zaia wrote:I think it's got a bit more to it than that. We get Ron's quick, crooked smile in reaction to Hermione's gorgeousness at the ball. That's all I need to make it a great teaser trailer.
So, it could've just be pieced together to suggest that he was looking at her ball gown, or maybe that really is when he sees it first in the movie, when they're in the dorms, but either way I think it's one of the first time Ron lets his attraction for Hermione show, and that's what I love. Can't say I particularly care when he looks at her like that, I just know I love it when he does.
Good lord I'm a sap.

Not to mention they have to find someone who is very beautiful and also very young. There are plenty of more attractive females in showbiz that I can think of, but most of them are years older than the girl who plays Fleur. I can't imagine it's easy to find a 16-year-old who is Helen-of-Troy gorgeous, who can also (hopefully) act. She'll have to sound like a native of France, won't she?Batman wrote:Though in all fairness to whoever plays Fleur, I have no idea whom to pick or whatever CGI magick to do to her to create that all-encompassing Veela attraction.

One thing that would've been cool is if they showed her in several different appearances for each male character who was looking at her, with each guy's vision of her being represented by a different gorgeous babe. That way, it would be clear that she doesn't really have a static appearance but instead appears as people want her to be (that's kind of how the Veela in the book are described, too). I would call it the "anti-boggart effect." They could've then defaulted to Harry or Ron's vision of her for the rest of the film with the actual actress while also making it clear that different people had different views of her. Of course, her appearance in the trailer doesn't rule out them doing something like that, but IMO it would be an excellent way to show the whole Veela thing on screen.Batman wrote:Though in all fairness to whoever plays Fleur, I have no idea whom to pick or whatever CGI magick to do to her to create that all-encompassing Veela attraction.
Again, that's true, but do you know of anyone who goes "Wow! She'd make me want to jump out of a fifth-story window as soon as I met her just to make her happy" when they first see her? It's not even that she isn't drop-dead gorgeous for me, it's that she simply isn't hot enough to get ANYONE in on her.As witnessed countless times in threads on this board, every time people bring up a female and go 'Boy she's hot!!!' there's inevitably somebody going 'Meh.

For instance, take a look at Valeria Mazza. Even if you don't think she's the hottest thing that's ever walked the Earth, you can see how a reasonable person would believe that about her. The same is true of people like Natalie Portman, Carmen Electra, and Yvette Mimieux (back in the day). Even though I don't think that all of those girls are smoking hot, I can see how someone ELSE would think that they were.

Erm no I can't what with her being rather heavily on the skinny side, at least from that picture.For instance, take a look at Valeria Mazza. Even if you don't think she's the hottest thing that's ever walked the Earth, you can see how a reasonable person would believe that about her.

In other words, their appearances are transient and they aren't ACTUALLY beautiful.

Since I can recognize people that OTHERS may find to be gorgeous there is no need to poll anyone.You have no doubt polled a significant percentage of the population to come up with that result.

And now with the strawman. "She's skinny, so I don't like her"/="I don't see how anyone could like her.Erm no I can't what with her being rather heavily on the skinny side, at least from that picture.
Which does absolutely nothing to disprove my argument, which only relies on the fact that there are people whom others can recognize as being attractive even if the particular individual does not personally consider them to be hot. This is how heterosexuals recognize people of the same sex as being attractive. The best example in my experience is Katherine Heigl. Even though she is definitively not my type, as soon as I saw her on television I recognized instantly that other people would think she was stunning. My intuition was confirmed a few weeks later, when I overheard two guys I know discussing how hot she was.And I know at least one someone who doesn't.

I think your idea is a cool one about the veela changing to different kinds of hotness to demonstrate different people's perspectives, but I don't think that the quote you presented really supports that.Master of Ossus wrote:In other words, their appearances are transient and they aren't ACTUALLY beautiful.

All that I needed was to show that the Veela have changing appearances, since I'm just arguing that it would be a reasonable way to show the Veela in a film (appearing as what you want them to be, rather than their actual appearance).Batman wrote: Thanks for the quote, beside the point as it is. Your original claim wasand I fail to see anything supporting that in your quote.but instead appears as people want her to be (that's kind of how the Veela in the book are described, too).
That wasn't in response to any of your particular points, but further validates my method of depicting the Veela in the movie.And I doubted that where?
Oh, for fuck's sake, are you simply not capable of identifying people OTHERS would find to be attractive?The operative word here is may. As opposed to will.
My interpretation of the Veela doesn't require that at all. Since it implies that a Veela's appearance is unique to the person viewing them, it simply requires someone that is sufficiently beautiful so that it would be believable for ANOTHER PERSON (ie. the character viewing the Veela) to think that they were stunningly gorgeous.Bzzt. Wrong. This is about finding someone that everybody would like.
I have shown that my method of depicting Veela is reasonable within the context of the book, and would be effective in depicting the Veela's charms on film. Even if a member of the audience didn't think that the actress on-screen was hot, they would be able to understand that the character in question did find her to be gorgeous and it would work within suspension of disbelief. Since the appearance of a Veela can change, it seems reasonable to extend that to the method of presentation I proposed.Indeed it doesn't. As your argument is also completely pointless, well...
Edit: Fixed typo for clarity.

1. Their appearances are somehow magical, and are capable of enchanting men into falling in love with them immediately.
2. Their appearances are not fixed, but change in different situations.
It is not possible to make a film that magically enchants all viewers into thinking that someone is gorgeous and falling in love with them. It is possible to demonstrate the effects of such a magical creature, and their charms on film, using the method that I have proposed. I agree that the book does not precisely describe a Veela as looking different to various beholders, but the method I proposed of depicting them would effectively let the audience understand what was going on within the characters' minds.

I give up. I still can't see the cuteness/beauty in Katie Leung/Cho Chang.
Just hope she looks better in the movie.
Everyone else looks good. Cedric looks a bit too cool, at least for my image of him.

In all seriousness, though, it's always better to actually show the audience something interesting than just to have the characters react to it. It's tough with emotions like love, but when you have an opportunity like this there's no reason to pass it up.

It was the Veela in the stadium that nearly made Harry jump off the top box, and there were dozens of them.Master of Ossus wrote:Again, that's true, but do you know of anyone who goes "Wow! She'd make me want to jump out of a fifth-story window as soon as I met her just to make her happy" when they first see her? It's not even that she isn't drop-dead gorgeous for me, it's that she simply isn't hot enough to get ANYONE in on her.
Personally I don't see everyone's problem with her, she isn't ugly, pretty attractive, and I can see how she would capture 15 year old boys attention.
