The image of Harry

[laurenmcoakley]

So, I've been really curious what Harry's "look" is going to be for 
this next film.  It seems that the stylists for the films choose a 
theme for each character, and make them dress the part.  It reflects 

In SS, Harry was just a little boy being introduced to the WW, so 
they made him this innocent looking kid with the bowl hair cut.  I 
thought this was interesting, because the book described him as 
always having messy hair.  But I guess his clothes were pretty 
shabby & bland looking, so maybe they didn't want him to look TOO 
unkempt, so they let the boy comb his hair.

In CoS, Harry has already been established in his new WW 
environment, and they make him look like just another student at 
Hogwarts.  I don't think there is anything that makes him stand out 
here, look wise.  No matter, it's all the adventures that Harry has 
that makes him stand out from the rest of the students this year!

In PoA, Harry is finally a teenager.  And his look reflects it.  He 
wears casual clothes more often, his hair is stylish for the time.  
The other kids are seen wearing clothes other than the school 
uniform more often as well.  This is because this movie spends more 
time showing us what the kids are doing when they aren't in classes 
or in-between classes.  They get to explore Hogsmeade.  I have also 
mentioned previously that there is definitely a theme here that I 
can't figure out... Harry always seems to wear gray or Navy blue, 
Ron wears Red, and Hermione wears pink.  I'm not sure if this is 
just a coincedence or if there is a deeper meaning to this.

In GoF, Harry is a little more older.  He's got a lot of 
responsibility on his shoulders, being in the TWT and finding a date 
for the Yule Ball, and oh yeah, facing LV head on.  It also just 
happens that he's got a lot of hair on his shoulders too!  I think 
the stylists were trying to make Harry a bit more 'rugged'- he was 
going to have to get dirty in these tasks, and maybe Harry didn't 
have enough time for a haircut?  He spends a lot of time wearing his 
'sport clothes' for the competition too.

And next there's OoTP.  Dan's hair is cut shorter.  In recent photos 
he looks "clean-cut" even, a pretty stark contrast to his look in 
the past film.  (Of course these were not movie photos, so I have no 
idea what his costume is).  What do you all think his look should be 
in this film, given the new obstacles he faces?
