Chris Columbus on -- <gasp>Oh, No! -- Harry's eyes

[Lilac]

Okay, the subject is your warning.  If you don't want to partake in this cocktail party conversation, then by all means, delete this message now.  But please let me have my say...

Yay, Leaky Cauldron's Melissa!  What an exciting experience to be a part of a round-table interview!  I'm so proud of her!  

Thanks for getting the answer straight from the horse's mouth...

<<<*TLC*: There's been some wavering in Dan's eye color; there have been some shots in trailers of it as green, then some as blue - why even waver at this point? 

CC: We never changed it. It's only lighting. What happens in the first movie is we talked about digitally changing every shot to green. But if you look at a human being, I mean, nobody really studies it until you make a film, you can't, people with blue eyes, particularly, in a room like this they'll go dark and almost look brown. If you take them outside they're bright blue. Put them on a set like the Chamber of Secrets, they'll go greener, because the sequence itself is green. So we didn't touch it, I swear to you. There's nothing that's been altered. The first movie, our effects people said, we barely have time to finish the movie, turning his eyes green in every shot is not going to work.

*TLC*: It's strange - I have a picture. Take a look at the international trailer.

CC: Seriously?

*TLC*: Yeah, it's actually strange, they change. 

CC: The international trailer? Okay.

So it was a time issue.  I always thought that the "no money" argument didn't hold because of the gobs of money the movie made, and they could have gambled on the future success of the film.  But no time, I can understand that.  

I know Melissa was interested in this point like I was, so I know it wasn't just my silly little email that persuaded her to ask.  So, that leaves me to think that they do leave out the "Green as a Pickled Toad" singing Valentine if they did nothing to his eyes.  

~Lilac, who is leaning towards the belief that it's not the eye color so much as the eye "type" (shape?) that is like Lily's eyes, thanks to the discussions on this list.
