Hi all,
I posted on the main HP list about eye colour and then thought it might be a bit off
topic--or could easily GET off topic.
basically, I've been reading a lot of fanfiction and am curious about some things that seem
to be common to a lot of fics but i don't remember from canon. If anyone can tell me
whether they are in canon I would be SOOOOO happy. Here they are:
1. Harry's eye colour is always described as a deep green (or jade or emerald etc). I
remember them being described as 'green' but where did this unusual 'absinthe in flames'
kind of colour come from? That doesn't even seem like a 'real' eye colour to me.
2. Draco's eyes are always descibed as grey (my favourite is 'full-moon-over-the-water'
LOL). I don't remember Draco's eyes ever being described in canon at all, though I possibly
wasn't paying attention.
3. Many of the fics talk about 'glamour spells'--are they fanfic-created or in canon? I
cannot remember ever reading about a glamour spell.. though they sounds like a brilliant
idea of course.s
4. They also talk about 'wards' being around premises -- kind of like protective spells to
keep others out. I KNOW there are such spells in canon but where are they described as
'wards'?
If anyone can point me to a relevant passages or chapters I would be so grateful. I've read
the books SO many times over and can't beleive I've missed these if they ARE in fact, there.
It's driving me crazy!!!!! LOL And I thought rather than starting from book 1 again i would
put it out there in case anyone knows.....
Thanks,
Sharon
