Shipping in the Alternity-Verse.... Same-player vs Multi-player

Aliethen asked:

With the cast list coming out, it was revealed that a lot of characters who played opposite each other in storylines were in fact played by the same person. How did you balance that? Was it ever hard?




I felt that deserved its own thread. Discuss!

A while back I made the comment about Charlie that his work was so overwhelmingly dangerous that it probably soaked up his entire capacity for Gryffindor recklessness, and thus meant that he was capable of having a wellspring of good sense where most lions have extra "Okay, on three!"

I loved Charlie's relationships, speaking of character representation.

*sporfle* Oh, I love that theory. (And speaking of Charlie's dangerous job, I loved that you'd get these little snatches of just how much he was downplaying here and there. Like, this is a job where if you want two days off and you can't find somebody to trade shifts with, you go out and deliberately let the highly poisonous dragon bite you because it's 48 hours off shift lest you manifest a severe allergic reaction, and Charlie's always like, yeah, hang on, lemme go get bit by the Vipertooth, nbd.)

I didn't decide until later on that the Hat had offered Charlie Hufflepuff or Gryffindor and he picked Gryffindor because Weasleys, but it does work for him. :D
