No, it's not a dog or a hamster or anything. It's a real actor; I checked.

So I'm all, "Gee, I wonder if Gary Oldman is in the film of Goblet of Fire; Sirius is in the book but maybe they decided to cut him out of the film, since there isn't anything crucial that he does--a few letters from Sirius to Harry would be a lot cheaper than hiring Oldman back; gosh, I wonder, gosh, I hope..."

And then I remember, "Um, they've just about finished filming GoF; why the heck aren't you checking IMDB? Der!"

So anyway, he's in it. Thewlis isn't, which makes sense since Remus didn't put in an appearance in the book, but, hey, you never know.

Um. And there's a character in the film named "Bozo."

Do I want to know?

Bozo the Clown? Or maybe he's a Random Death Eater?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

What Death Eater would be named BOZO?? Voldemort would drum his ass OUT of the corps!

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

I reckon it's short for 'Blaise' ;-)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*smacks*

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

It'd really suck if they hadn't included Sirius in the movie. And who the hell is that Bozo? Hmm... I think I don't want to know either. By the way, I can't wait to see Lucius Malfoy again! Not my fault he's the hottest movie character.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I would just love to see that film with an audience full of Lucius Malfoy fangirls. GOD!

[atdelphi.livejournal.com]

*cracks up*

All right, that got my curiosity piqued so I dug around.

*******BOZO SPOILERS*********

'Bozo' is apparently short for 'Bozo Photographer.' And the actor (if Google brought up the right guy) looks like the lovechild of Alan Rickman and Ian Hart.

You're writing RPS MPREG! Will wonders never cease?

[rose-whispers.livejournal.com]

Serious icon love!

URL to the picture of the scary mpreg Bozo, please? ::bats eyelashes::

I'm scared now

[bell-witch.livejournal.com]

Really scared. I assume this Bozo Photographer is the guy who works with Rita Skeeter. Bozo is a good name for him. You'd only name a Death Eater Bozo if you wanted people to die laughing.

[thespianpythia.livejournal.com]

According to a quick search on google, "Bozo" is almost certainly the name of Rita Skeeter's photographer. Or at least it refers to him.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

More people to clear up the mystery! Thank you!

[ambrosia-revels.livejournal.com]

Bozo is the guy that tags along with Rita Skeeter, isn't he? Photographer or something?

[ambrosia-revels.livejournal.com]

Um...yeah, what that person said. Geez, great timing. O.o

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's good of you to confirm; thank you!

[scarah2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, here's the quote:

Rita Skeeter had just entered. She was wearing banana-yellow robes today; her long nails were painted shocking pink, and she was accompanied by her paunchy photographer. She bought drinks, and she and the photographer made their way through the crowds to a table nearby. Harry, Ron, and Hermione glaring at her as she approached. She was talking fast and looking very satisfied about something.
"... didn't seem very keen to talk to us, did he, Bozo? Now, why would that be, do you think? And what's he doing with a pack of goblins in tow anyway? Showing them the sights . .. what nonsense ... he was always a bad liar. Reckon something's up? Think we should do a bit of digging? 'Disgraced Ex-Head of Magical Games and Sports, Ludo Bagman . . .' Snappy start to a sentence, Bozo - we just need to find a story to fit it -"

*awards you Above And Beyond Call Of Duty trophy*

O_O

[kagyakusha.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness. That hadn't even occurred to me.
If they'd taken away Gary, that would be...*shudders* noooooooo!

i'm sure I don't remember bozo. o.0

Re: O_O

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

No Sirius would have been like no cherry on the sundae.

[srichard.livejournal.com]

Um...Dumbledore's half-witted catamite?

Dude...pretend I didn't just say that. And I'll pretend I didn't think of it.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

You are...

You are...

Dammit, just NEVER change. Okay? NEVER.

three cheers for Bozo

[eskimosatan.livejournal.com]

Honestly, the poor man is only in three books and only then in small doses. I mean, think about it, that had to suck. "Sure, I'd love to play the part of Sirius Black!" Two months later "Wait a minute... I die? Damnit!" The least they could do is let him play in all three movies.

Re: three cheers for Bozo

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

That was the most bittersweetly funny interview. Him banging on Thewlis's door a few days after OotP was out, "You know the death she's been talking about? It's fucking me! She puts the guy in Azkaban for 12 years, lets him out for two, and kills him!" (<==heavily paraphrased)

[mctabby.livejournal.com]

*looks forward to all the Bozoslash the fandom will inevitably produce* Wheeeee! :D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, Bozo/Colin Creevey. *hides*

[adjectivegirl.livejournal.com]

I sekritly hope against hope Newell tacked on a "Lucius Malfoy getting out of the bath and into Death Eater robes" sequence. It's what the public wants, really.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

And he should LISTEN to the public, dammit! *starts petition*

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

BOZO! *dies from laughter* xD

And anyway, although there is no Thewlis, THERE IS ISAACS SQUEE! :DDD

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I am sad for the Thewlis.

I am in ECSTASY for the Isaacs!! SQUEEEEE!!!

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

Bozo is the name of Rita Skeeter's camera man. She mentions it in the book, it's when they walk into the Three Broomsticks and she says that Ludo Bagman looks shifty.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Those of you who remember this impress me mightily.

Bozo

[justinetre.livejournal.com]

Bozo? *hides*

Re: Bozo

[justinetre.livejournal.com]

oh, wait, isn't he Rita's photographer?

[campaign-ofhate.livejournal.com]

I believe Bozo is Rita Skeeter's camera man or some such thing (sorry if anyone's already said this :P)

[campaign-ofhate.livejournal.com]

heh erm.. yes, I scrolled up.. many a person has already told you... *feels silly*

[waccawheels.livejournal.com]

Yay!
Sirius in GoF = Cave scene = "Chiken!" !!!! :D

Or the last scenes in hospital wing, at least... Whichever, because I'm so happy to know that he'll be in the next film. Thank you for checking it<333

And I'm impressed with the fact that they named the cameraman...
Maybe we should make some short-name for Rita/Bozo pairing.(het!)
Ritozo or Bosita, maybe? And there will be a community named hp_paparazzi_love, and the first challenge theme will be "shooting."

(...Where's my drug? *LOL*)

[waccawheels.livejournal.com]

Argh, I forgot that LJ no longer show LJ-tag with nonexistent username.
"hp_paparazzi_love" or something, I meant. (^^;
