Speaking  of eyes, I was surprised that they didn't give Voldemort red
contact lenses  in the GoF movie. Even if his eyese weren't /glowing/
red, I'm sure they  could have come up with red tinted contacts. I
mean, you can get contacts  that have yellow smiley faces on them,
certainly they could have found red  somewhere. 

As far as Dan's hair, it is a very dark brown, and I think  dark enough
that it doesn't really make a difference in terms of the  authenticity
of the movies. 

Besdies given how short Dan's hair is  now, I think they will, if they
haven't already, go to using wigs just as  they have for Tom/Draco's hair. 

I'm really looking forward to movie 6  and 7 since Tom/Draco will
certainly have a more prominent role, and it  will give actor Tom a
chance to shine and show what he can do.

As  far as Dan/Harry playing the role of his father, I think with a
slightly  different nose, which wouldn't be that hard, and some colored
contacts, Dan  could easily play the role of his own father. Harry says
in the OWL Testing  Penseive scene that he and his father are nearly
identical except for  slight facial variations and eye color. I think
that would be fun for Dan;  a chance to play a character with a very
different personality than  Harry.

Perhaps though rather than match Harry/Dan's appearance, they  are
trying to match the appearance of the actor who plays the adult  James
in the movies. 

So, basically, I agree; it would be very nice,  both for the actor and
for the audience, to have Dan play his own  father.

Just a thought.

I was surprised that they only showed a brief "snakish" look in  Voldie's 
eyes, and then they turned blue.  Why not do the red eyes??   He could "act" with 
his eyes while wearing red contacts!  Could this be a  case of someone else 
who's sensitive to contacts?  Maybe.
 
As for Dan's hair, one of my reasons for thinking he's allergic to  hair 
color is that his hair was much lighter in this film, from all the hours in  the 
chlorinated water, I'm sure.  His hair being dark brown in the other  films was 
"close enough" to black, but this time, his hair was very light.   So he's 
probably allergic, which I can understand and don't have a problem  with.  It's 
just an observation.
 
His hair will probably have time to grow out by the time they start  actually 
shooting in February.  "December Boys" is a six week shoot that's  probably 
nearly finished, since they started the week after GoF premiered.   They start 
production on OoP in January, but Dan said they start filming in  February.  
So his hair should be long enough with six weeks to grow.   I imagine they'll 
do PoA style hair, since it is so much shorter than in GoF,  which will work 
fine with a six week's growth on the length it  is.
 
I would LOVE to see Dan play James in the Pensieve scene!!!!   I sure hope 
they do that, but you may be right, they may be trying to match the  actor who 
plays his father.  Wouldn't it be fun for Dan, though, and for  the audience, 
to see him doing both roles!  Ah well, we can dream,  anyway.
 
Speaking of dreaming - we just saw King Kong last night.  THEY  had a 3 hour 
movie -- why can't WE?!?!???  I'd LOVE to see Peter Jackson  directing one of 
the films (possibly the last one so they'd have serious shots  at Oscars -- a 
series like this or LotR doesn't seem to get the "best picture"  "Best actor" 
type of Oscar nominations until the last picture, as far as I  recall).  And 
the last three films should be 3 hours!!!  Why  not?!  Where do I find David 
Heyman's address???  If enough of us  write him about this, maybe they'll pay 
attention!!!
