This probably needs examples of debate over movie canon vs. book canon. I know there were a bunch of posts about this a while back over movie!Remus, the movie uniforms, chaser!James vs. seeker!James, and various other things in HP, but I'll have to look for links.--Penknife 19:12, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it's rare at all to have book vs. movie issues. LOTR has people on both sides (I'll see if I can track down some discussion). I'd like to reword to clarify that. --Msilverstar 01:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree - in my experience the distinction is quite common. --Dora 23:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I've reworded the Film Adaptations of Novels section to try to clarify this -- other people may want to poke at it further.--Penknife 19:05, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

"who may be enticed by familiar or nubile actors," ? I don't think I've ever seen Alan Rickman referred to as nubile before. Maybe attractive? --Betty 22:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

What, RPatz isn't nubile? Or, uhhh, Lynda Carter? Although I can't say there was much thought behind the word, I kind of like the fact that it's a word commonly applied to women, being re-used in its literal sense (marriageable) to apply to men and women alike. --Vee 12:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
