Oh my, The Onion must have a spy on this list. They don't even have to
parody us--we really say these things!
Gwen commented, in a post calculated to make her the next president of
L.O.O.N.:
>Has anyone else noticed that the nails on his left hand are long and
>pointy?
>Almost femininely manicured. The right hand is closely trimmed.
He must be a guitar player, one who switched the strings a la Paul McCartney
so that he strums with his left.
I have a nitpick to add. In canon, Goyle has spiky hair and Crabbe has a
pudding-bowl haircut. One of these boys has curly hair, so the pudding-bowl
thing isn't going to work, but shouldn't he at least be Crabbe so Goyle can
be the one with the low hairline and crew cut? The casting must've been
fairly random, given that their personalities are identical, so they could
have swapped them easily. Now that's a gauntlet. Bring on the posts
explaining the differences between Crabbe and Goyle!
On a related point, I agree with George_Weasleys_Girlfriend's analysis and
others that have pointed out that taken all in all, George is the kinder,
gentler twin. This shows in the Quidditch team picture, don't you think?
As for the lack of robes, I share Kelly's fear but continue to hope that
they will have robes on over their gear when they actually play. Someone
who has the poster book might be able to relieve our anxiety on this point
<g>.

relieved that they wear more than a t-shirt and sweats under their robes
when they go head-to-head with a Bludger, not to mention a Slytherin Chaser

"I say to you all, once again--in the light of Lord Voldemort's return, we
are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.
"Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great.
We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and
trust. Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims
are identical and our hearts are open."
-Albus Dumbledore
