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:

Spoiler:

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).

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.

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!

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.

[Not Afraid]

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

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

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.
