Pottertastic Pictures

It's been a while since I mentioned my other boyfriend, Harry. Poor Harry, cast asunder by my obsessive and inexplicable love for Edward Cullen. Then again, Harry deserted me on my birthday to premiere in July and Edward filled that spot. Edward is just there for me in ways that Harry chooses not to be.

All that aside, I still love Harry and always will. Tru luv 4eva. I suppose it's pretty self-evident that when I found pictures posted on Rotten Tomatoes of the new movie, clearly I squealed in delight like a foolish schoolgirl. The picture to the left is a still taken from Slughorn's Christmas party. The vampire Sanguini looks exactly how I imagined, and that rarely happens in the Potter movies. Squee!


So imagine my surprise when I find that actor playing young Tom Riddle (see right-hand image) is the spitting image to the mini-Voldy I envisaged when reading Half Blood Prince. What are the chances that not one, but two actors in the movies are exact? This is coming from a series that has never had one character match my mind. Original Dumbledore eventually took over whatever I previously saw, along with other main characters like Snape and Hermione, but there is no cognitive dissonance with these two new actors. I'm sorry I'm Babble McBabblesome here, but I am extremely overjoyed!!

P.s. Alastor Moody in the movies has never and will never match what I see in my head. For the record.
