[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Harry's "Green" eyes

[Valerie Flowe]

I heard that they hired Dan Radcliffe because of his big, gorgeous, 
soulful eyes. So they certainly wouldn't want to avoid shooting 
close-ups of those eyes. I think it's just one of those differences 
from canon to film that we have to accept and/or ignore. If you notice 
when Harry is being possessed by V in OotP, his green (huh?! why not 
red?!?!?) eyes look eery and kinda airbrushed. So they wouldn't have 
wanted to deal with that through 7 movies.
