<< I also thought the cover pic looked cheesy.  There is something about the
child who plays Harry that is just wide of the mark for me.  (In contrast, R
and H look spot on to me).  I think it is the smile.  He smiles in a lot of
his pics, even in the scene when he is showing Ron his scar.  I'm concerned.
Very concerned. >>

Well, as a publicity shot, I'm rather taken with that
riding-on-a-broomstick-hair-blowing-in-the-wind look.

I think Dan is spot on, and I've warmed to Emma as Hermione, but it's Rupert
who is completely wrong for me.  I'm sure he'll be good and funny and win an
Oscar and so on, but he is nothing like my mental image of Ron Weasley.
He's far too round-faced and too short, his pageboy hairstyle annoys me and
his nose is the wrong shape.  Haven't these people heard of cosmetic
surgery?

The funny thing is, when I'm reading the books, I now see Dan and Emma in
their parts, but there is some other boy - a creation of my mind - playing
Ron. I hope he sticks around...

In the pictures they have on the Vanity Fair website, one of the Crabbe and
Goyle actors seems much too 'normal' to me, and Draco's hair looks buttercup
yellow.  What did they use to bleach it - Superstrength Domestos?
