[HPFGU-Movie] Dumbledore's clothes

[Missy Gallant]

I don't think they will.  In the books, it isn't just
DD that has flashy dress, it's almost all wizards. 
Fudge was supposed to have that green bowler, and
bottle green suit.  Never happened in the movies.  In
the books, the wizarding world is full of bright
colors.  But to the directors and producers, the
bright colors doesn't fit the mood they want to create
in the books, so it all stays dark.  I don't like it
as well, but the directors also don't care what I
think, because I'll still pay for the movie once and
then buy it on DVD.
