Harry Potter will recast one of his most hated characters, but fans were totally lost

When any series of films extends to eight complete films in the period of a decade, there will be some forced shakes. The most famous of the series “Harry Potter” is the recast of Albus Dumbledore between “Chamber of Secrets” and “Azkaban prisoner”, with the role of Richard Harris to Michael Gambon, but there were many smaller changes with smaller changes with the minor actors of children who were easy to lose. Case in question: Poor Lavender Brown, Ron’s first love, was interpreted by three different actresses in the series.

The first appearance of the character was in “Chamber of Secrets”, where she was interpreted by the young Kathleen Cauley, and in “Prison of Azkaban” was performed by Jennifer Smith (both seen below). Lavender then disappeared from Hogwarts in “Clopblet of Fire” and “Order of the Phoenix” before returning with a revenge in “Prince Half-Blood”, this time portrayed by Jessie Cave.

However, the shaking actress was easy not to realize, because rarely (if ever) was heading to Lavender (if ever) in her first two appearances in films, so many spectators never knew that she was her. Making the even less remarkable turn is how Lavender was a last-moment idea in the books until “Prince Malt-Blood”, which was only published after those first three films have already come out. Much of what fans would be associated with the character still did not exist when Cauley and Smith were originally chosen for paper (apparently much smaller).

The casting change since then He received critic For how the franchise issued black lavender actresses when he was a minor character, only to change a white actress at the time he became a love and important interest for the plot. In the defense of the films, it was not until “Prince Half-Blood” that author JK Rowling clarified that Lavender was white. On the other hand, Lavender’s career was so irrelevant to his character that there was not much that would not have been precise for books in that regard. If “Azkaban prisoner” could reduce the background history of the merodiers completely, then surely fans could handle a non -white lavender.

Many “Potter” fans do not like lavender, mainly because it is portrayed as a comically dominant girlfriend whose nicknames for Ron (“Won-Won”) give second-hand shame fans. More condemnatory is how Lavender is one of the final obstacles that get in the path of Ron/Hermione romance, and by the time the “Prince Malt-Blood” arrived, fans had been waiting to see that resolved for almost a decade. People wanted Ron and Hermione together, did not rum and Lavender, and Lavender received the worst part of that frustration.

But since it is written and not sympathetic as lavender in books and movies, I would like to defend it with the argument that Ron Weasley (especially Ron Weasley’s film version) is an idiot for women, and its lavender treatment is Excellent example of this. Basically he uses it as a practice girlfriend to get a “billiard” experience (as his fight with Ginny expressed in the books) before moving to Hermione, the girl who really cared. The only crime of Lavender, in addition to being annoying, was wrongly thought that the child he liked was really interested in her and not only use it as a impulse of trust.

Of course, before Ron could treat lavender as the garbage, he first had to ruin Hermione’s night and Padma partil in Yule’s ball in “Clopblet of Fire”. This sequence was perhaps the worst moment of Ron, where he could not process his feelings about Hermione dancing with another man, so he decided to insult her sullen while ignoring Padma all night. His behavior here was especially condemnatory in the film, which did not have time to give many of his moments of a redemptive book, but he had time to show him that he treated both Harry and Hermione and garbage.

Basically, Ron is the true villain of the love triangle of Lavender-Ron-Hermione, and Lavender (regardless of which actress interpreted it) deserved better. On the positive side, at least the films were upset with some consistency in the final films of the series: in both “Deathly Hallows” films, LaSender was still portrayed by Jessie Cave. Of course, that final film was killed (in a deviation from the books, nothing less), but even that end is even more worthy than the role of “Prince Half-Blood” that was required.
