Cut your hair, you wizard hippies!

Lovely high-resolution Goblet of Fire pics, for those who are interested. Though I rather miss the awesome haircuts the gang, etc. had in PoA. They all looked fantastic.

Spoiler cut in case interested people don't want sneek peeks:

I find that young master Grint looks a wee bit lovely even with long locks. He can be a hippy, if he wants to. But the twins? And Radcliffe? CUT YOUR HAIR, HARRY POTTER. YOU LOOK LIKE DAVID CASSIDY!

All that's missing is the bell-bottomed white suit.

Also, why must they keep putting Hermione in pink? It's not that she wouldn't wear pink. She's a fictional girl. She might. But that dress should be BLUE. How hard could it be to at least keep that bit accurate? Why must they have taken the term "dolled up" so literally. FIE!

Do love the casting choices for Krum, Cedric, and Fleur. They all seem suitable.

But, goodness, someone call in a new hair person. Radcliffe, you look like a hip-hoppity-hobbit in some of those pics.

This Frodo Potter nonsense must stop!

The maze is HUGE. HUGE! Rather larger than I imagined but altogether awesome and spooky.

The dragon, however, could have used a better CGI artist, methinks.

My, goodness, I'm quick to judge, aren't I?

Cheers!

All that lovely red hair...

(must stop thinking impure thoughts. must find something else to occupy brain.)

I remember when word came out that Revenge of the Sith was going to feature shaggy haircuts that would better segue into the retro hair of A New Hope. (I also remember discussing with somebody that it was a silly idea; that if there were twenty years between the fifties crew-cuts and the seventies shag, no shag would be necessary for people living twenty years before a long long time ago in a galaxy far away.)

Now I see the hippie cut on the Potter children. (Even Neville, in an image on CBBC Newsround. WHY NEVILLE?!)

I can only make the following conclusion:

Every year there is a super-secret fashion symposia where the influential people of the world unite and decide upon the next year's trends so that when videos and films and fashion lines finally come out, everybody matches.

Maybe it's a secret society or a cult. Perhaps there are slots that must be filled per type, as such:

1 self-aggrandizing director (here's where Lucas comes in)
2 fashion-minded pop stars (A Madonna, perhaps, a Stefani)
1 overly-cute actress (give me your poor, your tired, your Sarah Jessica Parker)
1 dandy. From any realm of celebrity.
2 bubblegum pop clones (exhanged per year. 1999 featured Spears/Aguilera, while 2004 welcomed Lohan/Duff.)
5 heads of major studios (because, well, the clothes in the five romantic comedies starring Ashton Kutcher should really complement each other.)
1 airheaded heiress
3 editors of fashion magazines (please, won't someone think of the fat girls? Excluding them, I mean...)
1 representative from each fashion design firm
and Mr. Blackwell (never to be replaced, as is secretly among the legion of the undead)

Notes that came out of their super-secret meeting last year:
We love overlarge sunglasses! The bigger, the better.
Kabbalah is sexy. Digitally remove our bracelets if you must.
Why did we ever do away with tweed? We demand tweed.
Shirts must be designed so that when starlets stand in the slightest breeze, their nipples are revealed.
Otherwise shirts to be cinched at waist, since they only look good on seven people in the country.
Every man's hair to exceed 2.5 inches.


This can be the only explanation.

I think they are adorable. If I were a young kid, I'd have a major crush on all of them. (I know Tori does).

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Guys, guys. Obviously you haven't been visiting high schools lately. I work down the street from one and I see them walking in every day. They all have this hair now, it's very popular.

If you check out the latest bands, they all have the shaggy 'do too.

[Name]

Sorry, I must take the blame for this trend, everyone saw my newly grown hair and just had to copy me......comeon people, I just got out of the military, you don't have to copy everything I do, I had a freakin excuse. After 10 years of having to cut my hair mega short I wanted to do something different. So its OK, you don't need to do everything I do, you can cut your hair now. ;) :p

[Not Afraid]

Well, it's about time that guy had cooler hair than girls.

[wendybeth]

CP's right- that's the look now. It's fun- drives parents crazy.:D

Oh, I'm sure it's all the rage. But it looks BAD on Radcliffe. BAD! With a neck so thick like that, shorter hair is better. He had perfect hair in the last movie.

And the look looks lovely on Rupert.

But I'm biased, as I have a completley guilt-free (wrong though it may be) crush on him, however long his hair is. It's beautiful and red. But mostly I'm in love with his sinful looking mouth. Ah, The Grint. You bring it!

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

CP's right- that's the look now. It's fun- drives parents crazy.:D

Oh, she's right. But it's crap. And it's driving ME crazy.

Except for Rupert. Rupert, you are perfectly adorable...just as you are.

In other news, Krum has a buzz cut instead of the long hair he's supposed to have. Why couldn't they have given him long, shaggy, flowing hair instead of Harry Potter? Curses, I say. CURSES!

Except, whatever. 'Cause that Krum is tasty with his buzz cut.

[Baileykat]

Yes it does! Driving me crazy as we speak! If Bailey NEVER cut his hair again, he'd be the happiest boy in the world!

We did make "Shaggy Roo" cut it before baseball started...but he hasn't had a haircut since... :rolleyes:

[Boss Radio]

I have a friend who was a fashion designer for BCBG and is currently an instructor at Otis Parsons, and he follows trends the way actors follow L. Ron Hubbard. He and I both concur: now is the most wonderful time in recent fashion history because ANYTHING GOES. Conservative Banana Republic can walk alongside 70s glam and slacker khaki Gap and no one bats an eyelash.

I, for one, am secretly pleased that I am theoretically back in fashion, even if only by accident. (I basically look and dress the same as I did in the 70s, and now appear as some sort of lost Flying Dutchman ghost warning sign to ne'er do well teens, who after seeing me reevaluate their lives and immediately enroll in summer school.)

Still, it all comes down to this: people are funny looking creatures and will spend any amount of money to overcompensate for this sad and inescapable fact.

This is very well put, funny and true.

But this doesn't have to cost Radcliffe a pretty penny, though he has millions and millions and millions of them, most of them probably very shiny. Some barbers only charge $5-10. Just a little off the ends, please. Do it for me, Daniel. Do it for Disneyland!

As for the fashion mish-mash, I also think it's pretty cool, though I tend to be more A-line monotany than funky bangles and mixing things up. I don’t like to stick out. I like to be able to creep up on people or blend into the wallpaper. In L.A., the way I dress, this is easy enough to do. However, a visit to rural New Jersey proves that I can still mange to stick out like a vulnerable and exposed nude thumb.

Los Angeles also seems to be the only city where women misunderstand that an entire outfit purchased at Urban Outfitters only belongs on a 15 year old girl. It’s also a city where young people spend excessive amounts of their allowance money to look like a squatter.

Whatever, so long as they're clothed, for without clothes we might as well admit we're no better looking than hairless moles.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Oh, yes! This reminds me of once when I drove down La Brea. At the Sunset corner, I came upon a twentysomething man who rendered me dumb for a moment. I could not take my eyes off of him. This was not, unfortunately, because he was especially good-looking. I simply could not figure out whether he was homeless or a rock star. What with the rumpled-up hair, and the shotty shoes, and the sweat pants cut off at the knees, and mismatched socks pulled up as far as they could go, I just wasn't sure whether he was going to squeegie my windshield or break into a riff on Stairway to Heaven.

In L.A., everyone is a rock star!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I swear, it's only because I didn't have the money for the clothes at 15! I think I'm entitled to a late-20s fashion crisis. :p

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Awww! Don't burst my bubble! I swear, it's only because I didn't have the money for the clothes at 15! I think I'm entitled to a late-20s fashion crisis. :p

Oh, stop it! You HAVE the body of a 15 year old girl, and are young and vibrant!

Besides, I was mostly speaking about myself, who goes there to try on clothes, and leaves a sobbing wreck when not even their size 11 pants fit me! And those pants are adorable, but why must the waists be so low, and the thigh-but area be so TINY even though it SAYS size 9 or 11. BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Why?

Because they are really designed for teenagers. And not 28-year old gravity inflicted, sugary bread product filled bodies. Unless your a 28 + year old with YOUR figure.

God, I hate you.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Heh. I thought that my post would be met with jabs at my fashion sense, not flattery about my figure.

Although the hatred works. :p Me, I love you and your body AND the new shag styles. Too bad my husband could never grow his hair long. He'd end up with a 'fro. :eek:

[SusieP.]

What? No Malfoy? I wonder if his hair will be long or short this time... Daniel Radcliffe for sure needs a haircut though. :rolleyes:

[wendybeth]

Okay, saw a trailer from the GOF, and those Weasley twins just keep getting cuter.... One would have never guessed from the first movie that they would turn out so well.

Oh, I guessed! I guessed!

God, maybe I really AM a perv.

Oh, well.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Ok, I checked out the trailer at the official site, and it was a very good trailer. :)

EH is right - Grint is definitely hotter with the hair than Harry is. I didn't see the twins though.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

It's like a feathery page boy cut...on a HOBBIT!

http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=/gof/gofcampsite.jpg

Seriously, CUT IT!

Or go back in to every frame of the film where Radcliffe is captured and digitally remove some of that horrible hair.

Emma Watson looks all pretty with her sleek blonde do. Not much of a Yule Ball transformation, going from sleek to sleek. Brown frizz mop. Why couldn't they have even tried to give her a brown frizz mop past the first film? BritiHollywood cowards!

Still, she's a very pretty girl. Even if she's always hanging on to Harry.

Ah, Rupert. You are still my inner fifteen year old girl's boyfriend.

You too, Weasley twins. I LOVE THOSE SWEATERS!

[Prudence]

The redheads can do no wrong. I will now daydream.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

They really can't. Oh, to be Emma Watson, if only for a day! I'd even do her a good turn and wear better clothes than she normally wears. I could improve you, Emma. Just let me be you, for a day. I promise I won't flee with your body. I won't borrow it for long. Just long enough to plant one on Rupert's sweet petal lips without having to suffer the consequences of a) him going, "Ewwwwwww, you look like some bloke my parents know or b) incarceration.

[Prudence]

AP says the creator of muggle.net got a phone call from the lady herself, inviting him to visit and interview her. And the author would foot the bill.

[wendybeth]

The owner of the Leaky Cauldron got an invite as well. I hate her.

[Matterhorn Fan]

http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=/gof/gofcampsite.jpgUgh! They look terrible (except for Hermione, who doesn't look anything like Hermione)! And is it just me, or does Harry look a little pudgy? Just what are the Dursleys feeding him, hmm?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Ugh! They look terrible (except for Hermione, who doesn't look anything like Hermione)! And is it just me, or does Harry look a little pudgy? Just what are the Dursleys feeding him, hmm?

I don't think he's at all pudgy. I think it's the close and his thick neck, which is not flattered by the haircut.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

The owner of the Leaky Cauldron got an invite as well. I hate her.

If you had an obsessive Potter related site that took of 99.9% of your life, you'd probably get an invite, too!

[wendybeth]

Well, I read her obsessive Potter related site. (Sort of). Does that qualify?:D

[Matterhorn Fan]

I don't think he's at all pudgy. I think it's the close and his thick neck, which is not flattered by the haircut.Looking back, I worded that strangely. He looks pudgy in the face. The haircut is terrible. (On both those boys.)
