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...

I've seen pics with robes in other places

Date: 2003-07-30 07:11 am (UTC)I'm not, because that's similar to my vision of Dumbledore anyway. Well, perhaps not "hippie" exactly, but certainly more hip than Richard Harris's doddering old man version of the character. I found the Harris Dumbledore very feeble and disappointing -- the canonical Dumbledore has so much more vigour and personality! So I'm rather looking forward to Gambon in the role.
