The Cult of Lincoln

Monday, May 10, 2004



From TLC. Unconfirmed, but interesting.

The Express is reporting that French actress Audrey Tautou is being considered for the role of Madame Maxime in the GOF film. The article says:

" HARRY POTTER giant Hagrid has found his mate - in Amelie actress Audrey Tatou. The French beauty is in final negotiations to star in Harry Potter AndThe Goblet Of Fire as school mistress Madame Maxine, an 8 ft giantess who steals the heart of Hagrid, played by Robbie Coltrane.
My source says: "Madame Maxine is this huge ugly giant whom everyone else finds terrifying. But the gag is that when Hagrid looks at her, all he sees is the beautiful Audrey Tatou."
Is this Harry Potter or Shallow Hal? Der. I could see this as a running gag, also perhaps extending to some of his magical creatures, where he sees them as docile and benevolent, while they're actually terrifying and demented. And maybe also himself, when he dresses up for his "date", he could look in the mirror and see himself as Brad Pitt or something. It would be funny, but I don't know what it would contribute to the movie, other than making Hagrid look like a fool. It's a cute idea, but I don't like it.
