Everyone Talks About Harry And Lily's Eyes In The Movie And How Ginny And Ron Weren't Given Justice.

Everyone talks about Harry and Lily's eyes in the movie and how Ginny and Ron weren't given justice. But what about Harry and James' CHARACTER and important part of their looks.

They both have the same face, hair, glasses, height and very similar personalities. They were so similar that Harry pointed out their differences which were only their nose and eyes.

Their unusually messy jet-black hair is so important because that's what makes them look so similar and stand out because their hair is so messy. Their height wasn't very important except it told us an estimate of James' height (Harry's height).

The movies completely missed out that Harry is very composed in awkward and most situations. Whenever Harry and Cho interacted in the movies, Harry was this awkward, nervous guy while Cho was the stand up, confident girl while in the books, Harry was all composed (Even when sprayed by Neville's plant in OotP) and natural and Cho was the nervous one. In the movies, Harry was well-known, but girls didn't ask him out everywhere and he was struggling to get a girl. In the books, nearly every girl was asking him out and he denied them, one because a girl was taller than him. Harry was NOT awkward, the most he'll do is blush slightly, look away and go silent. In HBP, he doesn't randomly stand up when Ginny walks into the slug-club, I actually wanted to die watching him interact with girls in the movies.

In general, Harry is a popular jock and hexed people (Goyle, Crabbe and Filch) in the corridors for no reason, but they were stupid (They deserved it though). He had much of James' personality, like with how he can be arrogant, but a savior and empathetic.

With James, in the movies, we were only shown his flaws and weren't shown that he was insanely loyal, stood up for muggle born rights (Despite being a wealthy pure blood), sacrificed his life, saved Snape's life, was a good person, smart, broke the law for his werewolf friend, despised the dark arts, let his runaway friend live with him, supported his werewolf friend financially, was friends with outcasts, head boy, good father and person.

The movies showed that he was a bully, didn't care for people. And when we saw his body in the movies, they didn't show he voluntarily stood up to Voldemort. The movies made it seem like he didn't try to go against him, but was just killed like Voldemort does to all his targets, while they made it look like it was just Lily who sacrificed her life.

In the books, it showed that Harry and James had the same, matching Patronus's. IT was so important because it made Harry think his dad somehow came back to life. Like how Harry went-

"Dad. . ."

-in PoA when he saw the stag patronus. Having James and Harry look so similar, act similar and die similar (Having both James and Harry stand up against Voldemort voluntarily and voluntarily go to him) was entirely erased in the movie adaption. It was James' sacrifice that made Harry sacrifice his life in the forbidden forest and fight Voldemort in the graveyard when Voldemort mentioned that James stood tall against him.

Everything would've been different if Voldemort gave James the choice to live and back off just like Voldemort gave Lily the choice.

New chapter | Marauders: The Untold Story

Remus: I understand when people called James arrogant. It wasn’t really his fault being conceited. Only child, loving parents, a comfortable economic situation, who wouldn’t come out into the world thinking they deserve everything good in life? But as egotistical as he could be, he was also caring and kind-hearted. Yes, I’m aware of how he and Sirius treated other people, especially when they were younger, but it’s not like they were mistreating someone vulnerable, they were messing with a bunch of other self-important, full of themselves, snooty kids. And they did change their ways in the end. Well, somewhat. You couldn’t be expected to make it into the music industry, especially during the seventies, and not be a little ruthless. So yeah, James approached my concerns tactfully. He didn't want me to feel different, though we were, and by the end I didn’t even realize I was accepting his help. When we finally ended playing at their dance, I was wearing one of James’ old suits. James: From that moment on, we became insufferable. In mine and Sirius' case, even more so than usual. But seeing Remus and Peter starting to believe in the band too, was amazing. We couldn’t shut up about it. Every weekend from then on we fought over who’s idea to give a try first, we were all so inspired. At some point Hope lent us her record player. We took turns picking songs from Sirius’ collection and then tried them out on our instruments. Remus: We started changing the lyrics to the covers we played, then slowly one of us would change a chord or a beat, and then suddenly we were writing our first songs, not just obscene tunes anymore (stops, then laughs). A few of our songs turned out to be quite obscene, but you know what I meant, we didn’t feel like kids doing it anymore.

Blacleria is BACK! 🥳🤭After a full month full of frustration, because I constantly hated my all my drawing attempts, I thought... f*ck it, I do a full painting now. Let's see how it works out. And now I am really proud, and a bit nervous (because I am proud...lol). I also experimented a bit with my style. For the background, I used another software, which is specialized in imitating traditional painting media. I have to admit, I really like this look! 😊🫣 Please excuse me now, I have to read some fics from arlie now. 📖

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy being like, "I am 100% committed to respecting your 'no', but I heard you wouldn't promise my aunt not to marry me so I had to come and check just one (1) more time."
