Movie VS Fanart - A Next Gen Picspam

[thiliaarchive]

Everyone is obviously very excited (or not!) about the DH Epilogue set photos that have appeared all over the internet over the last few days. So am I! Well... that's not entirely true. There are good things and bad things, and since pretty much everyone has been expressing their opinions about the next gen cast and the terribly old-looking parents, I thought I'd do the same. I, however, am going to do it a little differently and thought I'd compare the new next gen cast to my art :D Fun, huh? Well then, click the cut and tell me what you think *g*

Oh, and since most of my art is obviously NWS, I should probably warn for that. Even though there's really only one nipple fully exposed *dies* ;)

Hugo! You can't really tell what he looks like, but from behind he does seem to look pretty much like mini!Ron, doesn't he? My personal Hugo has thick curls, and his hair is less red and more... well, a reddish brown. But I have to say that I'm pretty satisfied with what I've seen of Hugo so far. He could be good, I think.

Rosie! I laughed when I saw that picture of what I assume is Rose. For years, I used to hate Rose because in my eyes, she was just the bitch that might steal Scorpius from Albus. Ahem. (Yes, I don't like Scorpius/Rose - get over it). But ever since I drew her for the first time, my opinion of her improved and... yeah. I like her now. I'm not sure I like the actor, though. Of course, in my opinion, Rosie is a bookworm who needs a makeover before she can... blossom, so on the other hand, this girl isn't all that bad. And just look! My child!Rose could turn into that girl a few years later! And then, when she gets even older, she'll either be a totally butch lesbian or she could even turn into my personal grown-up Rose. So... I'm pretty okay with this Rose.

Apparently that boy over there is Teddy. I'm not sure, though. But if he is... then I'm okay with it, even though I miss the blue hair! The blue/turquoise hair that's pretty much canon! Where is it? Of course it's entirely possible that they're gonna add a cool hair colour on the computer, so I'm not going to judge yet. The outfit and the casualty of that guy, though, do pretty much fit my image of Teddy. Add a few piercings and tattoos, a cool haircut and -colour, and we're all set.

Jamie! I never really pictured Jamie with brown, curly hair. He looks a bit like a hobbit, doesn't he? *dies* As you can see, my James has sort of auburn, straight hair and is a total hunk and beauty. I'm not sure this little guy really fits my image of James but I'm not completely disappointed either. And what's up with the fact that I've never drawn a good James pic? His face is never visible. Must change that *nods*

Lily! Doesn't she look completely adorable? I think I like this girl. She looks sweet and innoncent, just like I pictured her in the Epilogue. When it's her turn to go to Hogwarts, she could definitely turn into the cheeky, cool, beautiful and sexy heart-breaker we all know her to be ;)

YESYESYES!!! This Albus - this cute, sweet little Alby - is pretty much exactly what I pictured when I read him in the Epilogue. He's beautiful, he's cute, his hair is perfect and he looks just as worried and frightened as he should. Also, I just know that this guy will be gorgeous when he's older, so I approve completely. Finally the casting crew did a great job. I wish I could say the same about...

Scorpius. Ah, Scorpius, yes. Last night, I saw the pic from behind - which I thought was perfect. Okay, he has the same slicked back hair that Draco did in the first few movies. I don't mind at all - he was probably styled by the same house elf *dies* But then, this morning, I saw the other pics and now... I just don't know. His face looks a little chubby, and if you remove the blond hair, he could be a Goyle or a Crabbe. Haha, maybe that's mean. But... he's just not my Scorpius :( But who knows? Maybe he'll look differently in the movie. In fact, let's all not judge until we've seen the final result, okay? XD

THE ADULTS

Yeah. What to say to those pictures?

Bonnie looks okay. I've never liked her as Ginny and think they should've recast her before Halfblood Prince. I have no problem with Bonnie as a person but she's just not Ginny. She's not gorgeous enough, she's not cool enough... I don't know. But I think she looks okay in the new Epilogue pictures. The shorter, puffier hair makes her square face seem less obvious. She still looks too young to be those kids' mother, though. Hmm.

Dan. Oh Dan, what did they do to you? I approved of the first few pics I saw because he looks like his movie!dad. But then I saw other pictures and facepalmed. He looks old and... meh. Not like my Harry at all. But he's never been my Harry, so it's not really surprising.

Rupert. Rupert looks... old. There's really nothing else to say. And in one of the pics, he looks a lot like Arthur LOL! Which would be fitting, in a way. But... yeah. I just don't know. I think I'll just wait until the movie (or more pics) comes out until I form a proper opinion.

Emma. Yeah, where's Emma? We've seen one pic in which she looks completely normal, so... I can't really say anything about her.

Tom. *bursts into tears* Oh TOM, what did they DO to you??? Okay. So in my opinion, Tom looks way older than he is anyway. He has the receding hairline already but in the Epilogue pics, it looks like they moved it back even more! And what's with the beard? No self-respecting Malfoy would ever have pubes in his face! Seriously. I do like the outfit, though. Rawr. But seriously, why couldn't they just have made him look a little hotter? Like his dad, for example. Ugh. Seriously.

I also spotted a pic of Evanna and was wondering... What's Luna doing at King's Cross that day, huh?

Aaanyway. I think in conclusion, I can say that I'm pretty satisfied with the kids but horrified by the adults.

What are your thoughts? :D

Also, this little picspam made me realise that I need to draw next gen portraits. So that we can really compare them at some point.
