A lot has been made of the fact that movie Harry doesn't have green
eyes, while both movie Hermione and movie Draco both have the canon
haircolor through the miracle of modern science. And it's not as if
11-year old actors can't wear contacts.

I don't think we should read into the fact that Daniel Radcliffe doesn't
have green eyes in the movie. My eyes, for example, are so sensitive that I
can't wear contacts. Maybe Daniel's like that. Maybe the producers and
directors thought it's not fair to force him to wear contacts that might
make him uncomfortable when the colour of his eyes can only be seen once in
a while anyway. I'm sure if JKR told WB that Green Eyes are the absolute
focal point of the story and there's no way to adapt book 7 to a movie if
they're Blue Eyes, they would've worked CG magic.

Alina,
who after seeing the movie and loving it came to a horrifying realization
that absolutely every explanation has been cut out making it alienating and
incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't read the books.
