Well compared to the other kid actors in HP I thought Watson wasn't so bad.

Just stick a fork in my eyes and put me out of my misery.... ;)

But I can **absolutely** see Seth Green yelling "Polka Will Never Die!!" ;D

Casting for Death Masks

You've got some outstanding ideas there. If only Hugh were 10 years younger, I'd pretty much kill to seehim as Harry. I think I'd barf, though, if I had to see Emma Watson in any more movies. She can't act her way out of a wet paper bag.

My special faves from your list:

Hugh Jackman
Steve Buscemi
Erica Cerra
Seth Green!
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Alyson Michalka
Robert Downy
George Clooney
And, of course, Matt Bomer!

nope. I think Christian Kane has that one locked up. He's a good second though.

I'm not all that fond of Christian Kane. What about him appeals to you as Kincaid?

I like the Idea of Kevin Mckidd as as Hendrick but Ian Mcshane as Rashid I do not see at all he is to short for one.  But what about Michael Williams as Rashid, Omar from HBO's The Wire.
   

Kevin McKid isn't massive enough to be Hendricks, but I do like him. How about him as Kincaid?

Also, the RC infection may not be so much an enchantment as an alteration in the nature of the being.

It's gotta be an enchantment in some sense, because Harry believed he could have cured Susan by using the unravelling cloth.

Quote
And even if it was an enchantment, it's a full-body, internalized one- breaking it with a warden's sword would be like trying to surgically destroy every virus in the body to cure a disease.  

This is the problem I see. Would the sword have to literally slice through Susan in order to "cure" her? Dunno!

Quote
As for the pentagram, Ms Duck has a pretty plausible explanation.  If the enchantment is violently released, slashing blindly through something like that would be somewhat suicidal.

Maybe, maybe not. Harry broke the pentagram (edited -- sorry, "circle") on the island by laying into it with his staff. As he said "It only takes a monkey with a big stick to take it apart." But that, of course, is assuming that you have access to the physical foundations of the spell.

Quote
Actually, I don't remember off the top of my head, but I don't think Luccio was even there for the climactic battle of SmF.  It was just Harry and the Knights on Demonreach, with the rest as backup.

Right. But they were talking about the Shedd Aquarium, where Luccio was stuck outside while the Denarians were fighting Harry, Kincaid, and Ivy inside.

Some time does pass between GP and Changes.

She indicates that she has done that for his entire life....but yes to what sjsharks said. She doesn't say that it has always been a garden.

nope its the warden's swards.WN

Interesting, thanks for posting that. Although it doesn't say "any" enchantment, so that might give us an out for Luccio's failure to act....

For that matter, if they could actually unravel ANY enchantment -- as that unravelling cloth did in Summer Knight -- then they should be able to "cure" things like the half-turned Red Court vamps. And we know they can't do that, or Harry would've gotten somebody to lay them on Susan already (or something similar). So that makes me think that there are limits to the enchantments they can affect...

I'm not sure that the Warden's swords DO cut through any enchantment. I thought it was only the Swords of the Cross did that? Have I forgotten it somewhere or other?

Y?  Harmon's a bad@$$, Weatherly's a great actor, and de Pablo's HOOOOOT!  To say nothing of McCallum and Perrette.  That show's loaded with talent, and the offshoot has Linda Hunt, which makes it at least as good as the original.

I'll stay away from your TT.....but I'll be looking at you with great pity on my face..... ;D

Yeah, my dad has an NCIS addiction too. Just Say No!!

Oh yeah, good idea. Clooney could go from football coach to crime lord with the shift of an eyelash....
