Metropolitan/HP crossover
Feb. 3rd, 2008 07:12 pmIve been watching the charming Whit Stillman movie Metropolitan, and now I have a deep urge to rewrite it, with Harry Potter characters: Ron would be Tom, the redheaded, impecunious Fourierist; Neville would be the Chris Eigemann character, Nick Smith; Harry would be the glasses-wearing Taylor Nichols character who goes out with him to Southampton to "rescue" Audrey. Audrey, of course, would be Hermione (although I'll miss Carolyn Farina; she had a sweet Molly Ringwald-esque vibe. Whatever happened to her, by the way? Or to director Whit Stillman- has he done anything since Last Days of Disco...?); Draco would be Rick von Sloneker (I adore the way the actor who plays Rick greatly resembles the spiffed-up Brian O' Halloran of Mallrats, by the way.) Voldemort? Well, someone has to be throwing all those parties; unbeknownst to Ron and friends, they're actually Death Eaters recruitment parties...
