<<*Coughs quietly* As far as physical descriptions of
Draco from canon 
go, he is "pale and pointed," in SS. In PoA he is
described as 
having "silver-blond hair." And in GoF mention is made
of his 
resemblance to his father and the fact that they have
identical "cold 
grey eyes." I also tend to assume that he's small and
slight like 
Harry since he's a Seeker as well, but that's an
assumption. And a 
blue-eyed strawberry blond Draco also strikes me as
Wrong. <g>>>



But they can *do* something about the coloring.
Contacts & bleach work miracles. 
I saw Anna & The King this weekend, or rather I saw an
hour of it, from 20 minutes in. And he might not have
the coloring, but oh my GOD does he have the voice &
the mannerisms. 
Louis is a complete brat in parts of the film,
especially when he picks a fight with the Prince, and
since I was only listening at this point, and not
really watching, I wasn't distracted by what he looks
like, and all I kept thinking was, this boy is *right*
this boy is *bad* (and i mean that in a good way). 

When the film is on cable next, turn it on. Grab a
book (not an HP one - you'll get distracted) and throw
a sheet or towel over the set. And listen. Then tell
me if you think he's wrong for the part. 
Listening to the film certainly changed my mind - when
I saw his picture, I said, "Neville?"

What Maureen Dowd thinks David Souter was thinking on Monday, December 11, 2000: I know the Bushes are furious at me. That'll teach 'em to assume that a guy living like a monk in an isolated New Hampshire farmhouse is some kind of Live Free or Die nut.
