In PS, the glasses are described as being "round" and that is it, 
apart from the fact they are held together with Sellotape (in the 
first description of Harry when 10, Ch.2). I, for one, just assumed 
them to be black or dark brown/tortoiseshell as I thought they would 
be like oldfashioned National Health glasses for boys, pretty much 
assuming that the Dursleys wouldn't pay for a decent pair. 

Should I have posted this on the main list?
