A little slideshow, based on the book by Libba Bray. This is my first video, so I'm sure there are better ones, but still, I had fun making it. (And THIS slideshow includes Kartik!)

MY CAST OF CHARACTERS:

@darlinggirl12345 Well then, I guess I did it differently. I showed Felicity as a blonde and Pippa as a brunette, and that's how it is. :)

This is a good video but in the book it distincly says that Ann is not beautiful and Keira Knightly I think would qualify as beautiful.

Hi Littlefire93. I've said this MANY times before. It's called CREATIVE LICENSING. I agree that Keira is not the BEST fit for Ann but it's not easy to find LOTS of pics of any actress who is"plain"--AND is wearing 19th cent. clothing!! On top of all that, I wanted to place her with "Tom" in my second vid. I knew I could get pictures of Keira and M. McFadyen in period clothing for that vid. Plus, she IS a bit more plain in Pride/Prej. Also consider that when Ann has magic she FEELS beautiful!

@TheBookworm24 no problem :) it was awesome :)

[heartofthegram1577]

this makes me want to read all three books right now. yup, I'm going to read all three over again

[dra1000]

@TheBookworm24 -- I am soooo glad you agree that Winona Ryder makes a good Pippa!! I have received a lot of flack for that choice, but I chose people to REPRESENT the book's characters (everyone's vision is different) and the entire time I read the books, the ONLY person I ever envisioned as Pippa was Winona Ryder, and Felicity was ALWAYS Romola Garai!! Thank you for the kind comments---I really appreciate it!! :)

@LUDOfanGIRL -- There is no actual movie, LUDOfanGIRL--and even though there were plans for a movie at one time, the project has been scrapped, so at least for right now, there is nothing in the works. Thank you for the kind words--I appreciate it!! :)
