No Robes? and a Plea for Assistance
Some people are already carping about these pics from the Prisoner of Azkaban set. "The kids aren't wearing robes!"
Well, no, and they aren't wearing their hats (thank goodness -- those things are ugly!) or carrying book-bags either. Hermione might have a book with her -- it's hard to tell -- but if she does it's only one book. Which, given H.'s unusually punishing schedule that year and her need to carry a full bag of books to all her classes, implies that this scene takes place after classes, or possibly even on a weekend. In which case the students wouldn't be wearing robes anyway.
I would be surprised if Cuaron (the director) had banished the robes entirely.
And I also like Draco's newly floppy hair, but that's a different story. :)
In unrelated news, I am now editing Personal Risks to bring it up to OotP standard. I don't suppose there's anybody out there who's read the new book a couple of times already and would be interested in looking through my revision to see if I've missed anything? I keep checking the Lexicon to try and avoid any glaring mistakes, but I have a nervous feeling I'm overlooking some important considerations...
