Dobby

[kewpiebb99]

I totally agree with you. I really like the way they design Dobby and 
its looks very similar to what I imagine him to be like. And I think 
he looks dead on according to the book's description! He's pooor, 
abused looking, totally fit the image of a miserable slave of the 
Malfoy's! Besides, I don't think Dobby is suppose to be cute looking. 
Just look at Harry's attitude toward Dobby, he thinks he is a "very 
ugly doll"! And none of the other characters in the book think Dobby 
is a cute puppies either! (including Hermione, who's a girl, who 
normally will react a certain way toward cute things, but she 
didn't.) Anyways, I'm just saying that from the book, Dobby seems 
like an ugly annoying thing anyways (at least to me), and the movie 
design perfectly delivered that feeling.
