"Harry well dressed is in LLBean gear
I have to weigh in on the extremely important topic of Harry's 
attire to say that he does NOT lean toward LLBean.  He is way too 
non-looks-conscious for that.  Otherwise he'd have traded in his 
round black specs for tortoiseshell a long time ago and done 
something about that hair.  I see him in much more downscale clothes, 
even once he's  liberated from the Dudley hand-me-downs.  Sweaters 
and jeans, yes, but not quite so going-out-boating-with-the-boys as 
LLBean."

--I pictue Harry as being more the J Crew type. Jeans and sweaters 
over slightly wrinkled button down shirts. Wool and courdory jackets. 
(Perhaps this is because I dress much the same way, and I'd like to 
think Harry is taking a tip from me.)

OTOH I picture Draco in Banana Republic clothes. (I was flipping 
through the catalogue and there were his leather pants/trousers.Yes 
that's certainly how I picture him.)

"In fact the only problem I had with PoU is that Lori had him driving 
a Jeep- way too trendy for Harry, imho. I see him with a Mini,  
perhaps one of the last of the black-bumpered base models from the  
early-mid '90s (can any Brits tell me what that model was called?)"

Harry in a jeep? Oh no that just doesn't fit in my mind. Harry 
belongs in a Mini. Whoever said that was right on!
