[edit] Actors presents

The short video of OOF seems to present Timothy Spall and possibly Adrian Rawlins in the scene where the photo of the first order of the phoenix is took. It is Emma who talk about the scene.. Do somebody have a confirmation?

See the below conversation. Unfortunately, there's no official confirmation, even though I believe that to be Timothy Spall too. It's a no-can do for now. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 04:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions for improving the article

Currently, I would congratulate those who've made the article well referenced, but if you'd like to get this article listed as GA or FA maybe, I'd advise to take the information and start turning it into prose. Currently it is a giant list. I may want to have a go but right now it'd be difficult, considering the many multiple cites. I'd also advise no taglines. Wiki-newbie 20:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree, this page is huge and most of it is a cast list of even the most insignificant characters (Look at the one for "Slightly Creepy Looking Boy", which even has it's own reference) and a list of scenes infered from the casting or other sources. Wikipedia is not an indescriminate collection of information. I know there's a lot of junk pages about pokemon out there but that doesn't mean this page should list every single actor in every single scene...I think it needs a bit of pruning to be considered good or featurable.Simondrake 00:11, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I was actually on my way to posting on the talk page, having just returned from a brief Thanksgiving vacation. I agree that

• the page is not written in prose for the most part, and that it is listish.
• the taglines should go; they were added just before my departure and I wasn't sure how to handle their removal.
• the sections on "confirmed scenes" is starting to get a bit long. I was planning on suggesting the removal of the section. It was originally created a while ago when just a few scenes were known to be included, but now with a trailer and some extra footage released of the film, the list could go on for a while; I'm thinking perhaps just the "cut scenes" should be included.

The thing about "Slightly Creepy Boy" is that he may actually be a real character from the books whose name Warner Bros. didn't know at press time: he's in the D.A. and he wears Ravenclaw robes, and "slightly creepy" matches the description of Michael Corner. So, thanks for the compliments on the references (it took a while to track down all of those pages). I've actually been trying to find a GA or FA that's a movie whose structure might mirror that of this article's, but have been dreadfully busy (and have forgotten too…). I think this article, though, is definitely going to go through a big revision soon. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 01:29, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the confirmed scenes section as there seems to have been no opposition on the talk page. The original purpose, when just a few scenes were known to be included, no longer serves its function. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 01:25, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Pettigrew has a 'cameo' in this movie

Timothy Spall who portrays Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Goblet of Fire, can be seen in this movie when Sirius Black is showing Harry Potter a photo of the original order of the phoenix. If one goes to here and then pauses at 16 seconds you can see him in the left-hand corner of the shot. Should he now be added to the confirmed cast-list? Scouse 13:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I saw this too; however, I think we should wait for "official" confirmation, better than our own eyes, to reference this. Good spotting though! --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 15:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I think that the picture of that shoot present in www.veritaserum.com proove that Timothy Spall and Adrian Rawlins are back for a cameo (Adrian Rawlins always did cameo in Harry Potter movies except for the last where he is talking).

Here is the link of the usb picture adress: http://www.veritaserum.com/galleries/albums/ootp/tvspecials/2006-12-abcpreview/ootp-order40.jpg

How do you know it's not just a really good look-alike? Until there is written or verbal confirmation from reliable sources (as in not your own eyes), the answer is a strict no. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 20:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
