Daniel Radcliffe doesn't have green eyes; presumably he'll wear 
contacts.  The problem is that while Harry Has Green Eyes is a Law of 
HP, the filmmakers/JKR might not deem Draco Has Grey Eyes and Silver-
Blond Hair as being quite so unbreakable a law.  Whereas WE all know 
it is.

We'll see...

Simon, re: your post on the interview with Steven Kloves, I wasn't 
particularly concerned that he'd written something that didn't fit 
the canon-to-be.  I wish the dialogue would all come directly from 
canon, but even the most faithful adaptations from novels have *some* 
new dialogue.  It may have been a very small detail that he put in 
that nevertheless contradicts something JKR has yet to write (you 
know--he has Ron mention Ginny's birthday, and JKR says, uh, no, 
Ginny's birthday can't be in March, and you'll find out why in Book 
6).  So I found it reassuring just to know that he is working that 
closely with JKR--and that his chief concern is to be faithful to the 
books and that for him, the characters are the most important element 
of the story--not the bells and whistles so dear to SFX guys' hearts 
like Quidditch and Peeves and Devil's Snare.  

The interviewer sounds like a complete twit.
