After reading the novel, I have too many emotions.
There are too many expectations for the drama version, and there are too many slots!
Firstly! Casting question! !
Mr. Norrell in the book is a rich [short] squire in his 50s. I don't like to socialize, I like to hide at home alone [sneaky] to study magic. A super bibliophile, books are [treasures], and I wish all the ancient books about magic in the world would be brought into my library. Later, in order to revive British magic, he came to London and started an [adventure], serving for the government and generals, and offering suggestions for the British army to attack Napoleon. But he likes to drop his book bags, he likes to lecture his students, and he still [reluctant to] share his book collection with anyone, but he just keeps [ruttering] preaching to the public! Stubborn old pedant, with a weird temper, anti-superstitious (there has never been a fairy in the world! Although he himself summoned a _(:зゝ∠)_) at the beginning, I am
the only one... With so many keywords, the reason is that, Mr. Norrell, should let [Old Bilbo Baggins] play! Very consistent, the same temperament ╮(╯▽╰)╭
---- To put it more rigorously, you should make up your own mind that Norrell's appearance and temperament are similar to old Bilbo. Marson is too serious, and not shaky enough, not chatty enough...
Norrell's character has changed a lot lately, basically jumping from one extreme to the other, but essentially, magic is above all else, so The complexity of this character is both a total liar and an enthralled erudite. Looking forward to it!
Jonathan Strange is a long-nosed handsome married gentleman in his thirties who often wears a mocking smile on his face, but is essentially warm and friendly. Married the girl he loves, but since he became fascinated with magic, he has turned a deaf ear to everything else... Because he does not read too many magic theory books like Mr. Norrell, he prefers to explore the limits of magic in practice. I have followed General Wellington on many expeditions, and I have a lot of actual combat experience... blahblahblah
, I actually think that I can play a role-playing role with Grandpa Bilbo, and it is even better. The first choice is Ben Wishaw. The field is powerful, and you can gain insight into some aspects, but some aspects will be very late. ︿(￣︶￣)︿
(I watched the drama version of Strange, not enough Arrogant... I hope it can be strengthened later!)
The last fifth of the book, Strange is so wild, encountered a huge disaster but made a qualitative breakthrough in magic, and non-acting schools can never be competent.
(The character setting of SN's two pigs' feet is a Fearful, an Arrogant, which was repeatedly emphasized in the prophecy later, but it is still very depressing to see one shrinking his head and shrinking his head and one so arrogant. Hey)
Marc Warren plays the man with thistle- The down hair is quite suitable, especially for the makeup photos, it is very coquettish╮(╯▽╰)╭
(But if the old Bilbo and Xiaoben are really the protagonists, Warren's aura still can't keep up... ...Alan Cumming is about the same →_→)
The other characters didn't think of any special actors, but they must be able to perform some kind of special temperament, because the soy sauce characters are also very distinctive =. =! Thinking of refilling
(First impression: Childmass should have greasy hair and uglier, better have a hook nose, but great acting! Vinculus is not so old (great acting)... Stephen Black and Arabella are great! Lady Pole's first appearance is not surprising =.= Walter Pole is normal. Lascelles is not fierce enough, how can she play the villain later =.=Drawlight is a little fatter and older than I thought... But the acting is too happy hahahaha-- -----[Generally, except for the two protagonists, all are acceptable _(:зゝ∠)_)

_ !
First of all, because this book adopts a pseudo-historical style, most of the time it is stating "historical facts", although there will be small anecdotes, but they are not very enthusiastic. I don't know how the TV series will be adapted, and I still have a little expectation.
It is estimated that there will be a few good-looking ones:
1. At the beginning, Norrell resurrected various stone-carved dripping beasts in the whole church, and the Stone Man accused the ancient murderer---√ [Although the Stone Man in the drama version cannot hear very clearly, but he sings Bonus points for that!
2. Resurrect Lady Pole (thistle-down hair man debut, Norrell wits...fail! ╮(╯▽╰)╭) ---√【Warren shines!
3. Norrell's first spell to contain the French navy (ships made of rain) ---√【It is rough, probably because the color of the whole picture is gloomy, and the deterrence of hundreds of ships is not very obvious =. =
4. Vinculus (Street Warlock) first prophecy about NS and raven king ***** Very important! ---√【The prophecy is all spoken!
(Vinculus is very dirty and sloppy, it will only be abducted, selling some so-called magic potions/charms on the streets of London that can change the hearts of lovers and make the enemy's life better than death. But the character setting belongs to the kind that looks like a liar, All of a sudden, a magical character who will tell a big secret! Haunts throughout the book, with important soy sauce! There are several details: long yellow nails that have been bent; long greasy black hair; The blue tattoo on the whole body - the pattern is amazing, according to the book, the brain fills the language of the circular pattern of Gallifrey Curry Star; there are a total of eight wives in various places, the eldest wife is in her forties, but these women are very fond of each other. I don't know anything...)
5. Vinculus and Childermass used tarot cards to predict the fate of Norrell, as well as the magical changes of the tarot cards (hope that the cards will be very delicately drawn!) ---√ [One card appears in the order of the cards Gradually clear raven, Vinculus has escaped, full of weirdness~
(Chidermass is also a greasy black hair, but he can do some little magic, much smarter than he looks, although he is Norrell's "squire", he often makes his own decisions , the words are sharp. The biggest point of view should be that the speech is the kind of high-spirited but indifferent temperament!)
6. Stephen Black and Lady Pole went to the Lost-hope Castle to attend the dance --- √ [Very disappointed... I remember that there are special books in the book. It was written that there was a female leprechaun wearing a dress with eyes full of eyes! ! The dance scene is too rushed, bad review.
Stephen was repeatedly abused (Stephen Black is a very unlucky servant. As a very kingly black servant, loyal and reused by the master. Unfortunately enchanted! Every night and all the way with gorgeously dressed banshees Dancing, tired as a dog_(:зゝ∠)_... During the day, I have to provide chat service for thistle-down hair man, forced to accept all kinds of "gifts from goodwill", encouraged to be king, Provoking absolute trust between the owner and being forced to take part in various adventures... tragic! But the final outcome... tears in my eyes!! 100%!)
7. How did Strange's father die╮(╯▽╰)╭ The servant Jeremy is very interesting---√【Although he did it, he just briefly described the matter of his father opening the window. The reasons for deliberately mistreating Jeremy were not explained. Jeremy's arrogant personality is also not reflected. It seems that he is going to be reduced to the bottom supporting role~
8. Strange followed General Wellington to fight in Portugal and Spain. Wellington is a god-like general, and his favorite lines are: ah, Merlin, come here, perform a magic for me!→_→
9. How the Mad King was abducted by thistle-down hair man
(this section has a very melodious flute sound , similar to Siren's singing. Looking forward to it!)
10. Strange crosses the road in the mirror (the first time to look at Faerie, all kinds of stone bridges, very eerie!)
11. Drawlight's downfall. Drawlight is the kind of gentleman who often appears in British novels, who is useless and eats, drinks, and looks familiar in various social occasions every day. (John Beaver is such a person in a handful of dust) He has a super sharp mouth, and uses a clever mouth to constantly turn the white into black and the smelly into fragrant... Vanity, hypocrisy, selfishness, and cleverness, but on the surface it seems Very considerate is a lady friend. A very funny character, in the end he will kill himself if he does many acts of injustice ╮(╯▽╰)╭
(The last fifth appeared again, he is a coward. But the way of curtain call is a bit interesting)
12. Strange and After Norrell parted ways, Segundus (theoretical magician), who was playing soy sauce in another corner, wanted to build a magic school in the deserted house of Starecross. After being blocked by Norrell, it was converted into a mental hospital and locked up Lady Pole
(no stunts to watch, but The house is in the wilderness, the atmosphere is good)
13. The book written by Strange was cast by Norrell, and Murray and the magic apprentice denounced Norrell
(Norrell became more and more unreasonable in the later period, and Bilbo was afraid that other people besides Strange would learn real magic, so he yelled My preeeeeeciossssssssssssss every day)
14. How did Arabella get replaced by the civet cat for the prince?
(I guess I can't bear to watch this paragraph. Thistle-down hair man changed Strange's cutest wife civet cat for the prince
. Become a cat-mad woman and make her own potions.
(It has entered the third volume, and the plot has developed to an absolute climax. The description of this long paragraph is very detailed. Strange finally finally finally faced the enemy who took away his lover in his fate---but he was too arrogant and caused too late to realize the truth!)
16. Miss Greysteel, a new catalyst girl, likes Strange. Love was hopeless, but in the end it played a key role.
17. Strange came to Lost-hope and was cast by thistle-down.
I don’t think I dare to read it here. Some of the readers in the front have long known the truth and have always wanted to wake up the protagonist with a punch. But the protagonist does not discover the true face of thistle-down until here, and is immediately trapped in prison. In absolute despair, sink the boat and bring magic back to England. Ah, but it hurts so much.
18. Stephen Black's breakthrough. Yes is a keyword.
(Really, the scenes depicted in the book are difficult to restore. That kind of tearful feeling!)
19. The one-eyed crow.
20. The final conversation between Strange and Arabella. Heartbreak T^T
