Dan's eyes and hair

[Calliope]

Richelle:

Daniel does not wear contacts.  The contacts irritated his eyes, so they left
them off.  His eyes are not green in the movie. <snip>  They are as blue as blue
can get.  A beautiful blue, I don't have a problem with them being blue.

I say:

Hear hear!  Totally agree.  Dan Radcliffe has gorgeous blue eyes. Very
expressive.  I am so glad someone else thinks so.  

I can't tell you how tired I am of hearing "Harry's eyes should be green" and
"Harry's hair should be messier and/or blacker."  I would rather see Dan's
natural eyes than some fake CGI coloring.  (Contacts are totally out of the
question.  He can't wear them.)They would lose their beautiful expression.  And
as for the hair - the less messy it is, the better continuity they get.  It's
hard to make someone's hair messy exactly the same way in every take.  And if
they dyed it black it would look fake.  

Dan Radcliffe does a wonderful job as Harry Potter (no one would be 100% perfect
in anyone's mind, no matter what) and I think people who get so ridiculously
wrapped up in superficial things like eyes/hair lose the bigger picture.  I
think he has the mannerisms and personality of Harry down very well and that's
more important than his eye/hair color.  

JMHO.
