I’m sorry, but it’s things like this that make me revert, just temporarily into a squealing fangirl who wants to throw themselves at Isaac’s feet. The man understands Lucius, inside out—makes far far more of him than JKR, who frankly, until Isaacs started playing the part had hardly even treated him as anything 3 dimensional. What he says here about “what happened to Lucius in Azkaban” made me happy (in a fanfic way, not happy about the rape and torture) and the way he talks about his emasculation by Voldemort (or rather the completion of that process, begun by the Ministry) is just class. And LOOK at him, he’s all worn, and sad and…gah! WANT!
*coughs* normal professional author service will be resumed as soon as possible.
As long as Jason doesn’t do any more of this.

I just might get around to finishing DH now. Was it in the first half or the second half of the book?

Date: 2010-11-11 09:01 pm (UTC)I was surprised at how evil and manipulative Dumbledore is written in that chapter. I wonder if it was intentional on JKR's part...

Date: 2010-11-10 09:27 pm (UTC)I remember that bit being one of the things I wanted to see beyond the pages. I remember feeling sad for Lucius in the book, seeing how he was broken stage by stage on the periphery of things from HP's perspective... In spite of the fact that I don't think this was the author's intent. Lol.
I was always much more interested in the story beyond that kid's periphery.
*sigh*

Date: 2010-11-11 01:56 am (UTC)I do love how much he actually thinks about the character he's playing -- it's such a fascinating contrast to the books, where Lucius really is nothing more than a plot device, but that obviously doesn't work at all if you're playing the part (Ophelia is also a plot device for most of Hamlet, but you can't argue that actresses don't put a lot of work into playing her). And now I sort of want to write fic...dammit. ;)

After the last (dreadful) HP movie and the disappointment of the last book I vowed to *not* go and see these last two HP movies.
And then this clip showed up.
I'm going. Oh, definitely going!
