Images from next "Harry Potter" movie released — Page 2

I think maybe Ginny would prefer to fight in pants. After all, you don't want to worry about your panties showing in a fierce fight!

I agree, Singer - and he doesn't look that old, anyway!

IN the interview, Radcliffe mentioned that when he came back from the graveyard his hair was all matted with blood and disheveled. It was the angst and horror of the events that happened that that made Harry cut it off in a rage...that was his justification.

As far as all the talks go about style, movies and books are two seperate things. The first two movies were so faithful to the books it lacked the characterization and excitement I thought. Once Alfonso took over, he got the style right and Newell was great in following that. I believe from the picture Yates is sticking with that formula. Enjoy them each for what they're worth...it's two versions of the same thing. A lot more of Harry Potter is a good thing

But Ginny really comes into her own in OotP. Not that I mind that they dressed her in pants, I just thought it was odd because all the other girls are in skirts.
And I agree that Dan does not look too old for the role. And even if he did, I doubt they would recast Harry. Dan's not the most brillliant actor, but he's improving, and I don't think recasting would go over well with fans. It would be too much of a risk of the franchise blowing up in their faces.
Plus, recasting would mess up the dynamic of getting to see Harry grow up throughout the story, which is a very important through-line of the whole series.

I found this online, although I don't think it's an official shot.

FOAnatic - It'll be on *A* dvd, anyway. Maybe not as an official Warner Bros. release...

Now, I've read the books, but I'm not a huge fan. As far as I remember, Harry's hair is messy and longish irrepairably; Aunt Petunia cut it all off once and it grew back overnight. The short hair, while it does make him look younger (I guess... it shows off his adult bone structure), also takes away a bit of the innocence the long hair of the last film gave him.

Other thoughts...

It's a private school. Ginny would not be wearing trousers with her uniform.

So glad they gave Rupert Grint's hair a trim... Ron was always a bit hen-pecked by his mother, and there was no way she would let him grow it out so much.

It kind of bothers me that with every new director, the uniforms have changed. I didn't mind the stylistic changes (the giant clock and all), but the changes in the uniform kind of irk me. They weren't necessary OR explicable.

Umbridge's office makes me happy, but I always imagined her looking more... grostesque.

And that's all she wrote.

I don't want to beat Harry's hair issue to death...but I do not like it.

Now. Where the heck are the pictures of Tom Felton?

...aside from the one Fiction Writer posted.

I love the first photo of her on yahoo, but the last one, with the book, is awful.

And also, they BETTER NOT get rid of the three kids before the end of the series, just because they look too old. You know how mad I will be, if they switch them for the last movie?!?!?!?

Love Harry's haircut. And I don't remember his hair being a specific issue in Book 5. It was a descriptive quality in the first couple of books to set up his character as the nerdy underdog, but it really has nothing to do with anything else. It's not like he got a platinum blonde perm, or cshaved his head, or is an entirely new actor or anything. He still looks like the Harry we have gotten to know from the first four films. Who cares?
