David Tennant/Griffin Dunne

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2005)

I don't know what all the complainers expected. You take a 800 page book, cram it into 154 minutes, did you really think they'd be able to get all of it in there?
My kids asked me why they didn't just make a couple of movies, or a mini-series, instead of trying to get it all into one feature length movie...all I could say was it's all about the money. It would've been most likely too expensive to do it right, so they did the best they could. Yeah, it's far from perfect, but if you honestly expected perfection, you haven't seen a lot of movies lately.
I have one burning question for all of you obsessive HP fans, though...I'm amazed no one else has mentioned it so far:
Barty Crouch Jr. is played by Griffin Dunne in the Pensieve courtroom scene when he is arrested and brought before his father.
David Tennant plays him in every other scene, including the one where he tries to sneak out of the courtroom before Karkaroff gives him up, but for some reason, they used a totally different actor in that one short sequence.
Anyone know why?
Did anyone else even noticed the change?
It's driving me nuts, I can't find ANY information on it on the web, and I can't imagine it's something that some trivia site hasn't picked up on already.
