Re: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows (11.19.10 / 7.15.11)
Btw, I only just very recently made a kind of funny discovery. I had always thought ever since OOTP that the exact actor who played Aberforth in that would play him in DH, even though of course technically speaking, we don't know that barman of the Hogs Head that we see for all of 2.5 seconds actually is Aberforth, that we don't find that out until later in DH. And, I really do wonder if the IMDB was changed at some point along the way, because I always could've sworn that from when I first checked, the name was always correct on the OOTP's cast page on there. Anyway because I was watching Munich the other day for the first time in a few years, and I noticed it said Cirian Hinds in the credits, and by now I'd been aware that was the actors name playing Aberforth in Hallows. Turns out he's one of those character actors whose face I know, but before now I'd never fully connected it with his real name. And he actually on the face of it (I think, at least) doesn't really look much anything like Michael Gambon, but obviously we shall see what they do with makeup.
Though, sort of speaking of that, I still say that, when early on in the story Harry's looking at the mirror and sees the quick flash of an eyeball and in the book ultimately we're given to understand that was Aberforth, that it's shown he was 'watching over' Harry for most of the length of Hallows, for the actual movie, I still say what we actually see in that moment is still Gambon's eye (it was used in multiple trailers, too).
