bluesaiyans: rosalui: harrypottermovieproblems: First Image: 1976 / Second Image: 1978 - 1981 They grow up so fast. *wipes tear* Actually, I have to talk about this a little bit. There is so much fuckery going on here, completely aside from the fact that they all apparently aged thirty years in barely half a decade (and then didn’t age at all in the decade following). Even putting aside the usual movie errors - ie Hogwarts students in Muggle boarding school uniforms rather than robes - we’ve still got: James Potter in neatly pressed and buttoned clothes that do not seem to fit him very well, which is confusing because - What about ‘ruffles hair to make it look like he’s been playing Quidditch and doesn’t care about rules’ says ‘buttons his cufflinks’ to you? Boy was rich as fuck, if he had to wear a uniform it would damn well fit. Neatly parted and combed brown hair, what the actual fuck. Old!James being literally nine trillion years old. Still brown-haired and Muggle-clothed, but more importantly his HAIR IS STILL PARTED and THE MUGGLE CLOTHES ARE STODGY. That is not genetics that is PERSONAL STYLING CHOICE and it is WRONG. Lily Evans (not pictured) with bright red hair creepily reminiscent of Ginny’s, rather than dark red, not to mention freaking pigtails and pink bows like a freaking eight-year-old rather than a sixteen-year-old. She literally gets almost no lines, no agency, no sense of character or complexity or personality in this scene. She is an object. Old!Lily is wearing???? some kind of??? crypt-keeper nightgown??? like a nine thousand year old woman in the middle of the night in a nursing home???? Sirius you were supposed to be the hottest boy in school with hair that fell elegantly into your eyes, like what??? happened??? Old!Sirius, not sure where to begin with you Where is the teenager who rides a motorcycle? in jeans and a t-shirt? where is he?? WHY ARE YOU SO OLD WHY DO YOU HAVE G R O O M E D FACIAL HAIR Sirius grew up as a motorbike-riding rebel in the 1970’s and you think he didn’t walk around Muggle London looking like a Sex Pistols reject? WHY IS HE WEARING A WAISTCOAT, THAT IS TRADITIONALIST MUGGLE MAN CLOTHING, SIRIUS IS SO ANTI-TRADITIONALIST Hi Remus, nice to see you nine thousand feet away in the background there, hope you’re having a good day I actually approve of First War!Remus having slightly longer hair But W H A T is that fuckING abominATION ON HIS LIP Actually now that I look at this picture why is he also a trillion feet taller than everyone else, he is in that photo with three people who are routinely described as tall (James, Sirius, Dumbledore) but he in fact is not Peter looks kind of okay actually But what is he doing with his hair, what is that, honey you might have betrayed your best friends to Voldemort but that better not be a mullet But wHAT IS HAPPENING in the second picture, he is literally lurking creepily like the most obvious evil villain ever to heavy-handedly foreshadow his own villainy Randomass basic motherfuckers in the background, give me Docras Meadowes and Marlene McKinnon please.
