I'm not sure what color eyes I see Sirius with. Silver or sapphire or
onyx, I'd say. Some jewel tone, I've settled on that much.

I know I'm not visualizing him correctly, but I can't help but see Sirius
as an Antonio Banderas type.

And WHY do a ton of fanfic writers say Hermione has cinnamon eyes? Have
any of these JKR Juniors looked in their spice cabinets lately? Cinnamon's
texture doesn't lend itself to eye color. Hair color, yes. Skin color,
yes. But eyes are translucent. That means dark coffee or oolong tea,
not cinnamon.

What's wrong with just plain brown eyes? It seems good enough for JKR--who
created the characters in the first place.

(Silly nitpicky rant, I know. Just something that bothers me for some
strange reason. I love descriptors, but...????)
