ok did anyone else notice how when harry, ron and hermione are captured and taken to malfoy manor and harry sees his reflection in a mirror for the first time in months, it says that his hair is now shoulder length

i cant really picture danielle radcliffe with hair that long.

does anyone think theyre gonna stick to that in the 7th movie and make his hair longer like in the book, or do u think theyre gonna do that that nasty cut he had for the last movie that looked really bad on him? (no offense mzradcliffe14)

I dont remember the book saying he had shoulder length hair Confused But if they did I dont think they would do that, maybe a wig, but probably not.

heres the passage from the book:
its on the top of pg 458 in the american version

Spoiler:

Harry was facing a mirror over the fireplace, a great gilded thing in an intricately scrolled frame. Through the slits of his eyes he saw his own reflection for the first time since leaving Grimmauld Place.

His face was huge, shiny, and pink, every feature distorted by Hermione's jinx. His black hair reached his shoulders and there was a dark shadow around his jaw. Had he not known that it was he who stood there, he would have wondered who was wearing his glasses. He resolved not to speak, for his voice was sure to give him away; yet he still avoided eye contact with Draco as the latter approached.

Spoiler:

I thought that Hermione only jinxed him to make his face look fat. I also thought that his hair was long just from camping around for months and not grooming himself.

It very clearly states that it was Hermione's jinx that made him look like that.

The sentence about his hair is in the middle of a paragraph about the jinx.

His face was huge, shiny, and pink, every feature distorted by Hermione's jinx.
He mentions the jinx


His black hair reached his shoulders and there was a dark shadow around his jaw.

Wait for it...


Had he not known that it was he who stood there, he would have wondered who was wearing his glasses. He resolved not to speak, for his voice was sure to give him away; yet he still avoided eye contact with Draco as the latter approached.

And he goes back to mentioning he was under a jinx.

He wouldn't talk about it, drop it, then talk about it again all in the same thought. And JKR wouldn't have brought it up, dropped it, then pick it up again in the same paragraph.

That's just my opinion, though.

but also read the other part before that paragraph:

Harry was facing a mirror over the fireplace, a great gilded thing in an intricately scrolled frame. Through the slits of his eyes he saw his own reflection for the first time since leaving Grimmauld Place.

then:

His face was huge, shiny, and pink, every feature distorted by Hermione's jinx.

he mentions the jinx, but then:

His black hair reached his shoulders and there was a dark shadow around his jaw

it not only mentions how his hair has grown, but also how he has a dark shadow around his jaw.

are u saying hermione did that too?

JKR was not only talking about the jinx in that paragraph, she was also talking about how much harry's appearance had changed since the last time he had looked in a mirror.

I just assumed that his hair touched his shoulders because his head was so swollen. It was so large that is rubbed against his shoulders. I don't think that his hair would have gotten very long in just months anyway.

I don't think his hair would have gotten that long so fast.
Besides, they do haircuts with magic. He doesn't need a mirror.
And no, i don't think they would have changed topics in the middle of a paragraph.


The reason why this topic is in this thread ws because... oh hell, I don't remember. lol

you have to remember that it was april when they were caught and taken to the malfoy manor, because draco was home for the easter holidays. and harry probably hadnt had a haircut since he was at least at the weasleys house for the wedding. there was a good 8 or 9 months where he had no haircut, definately enough time for his hair to grow a few inches

I hadn't noticed that, really, no. But I don't really think it's that much of a significant detail. Maybe his hair will be long, maybe it won't.

The main idea is that he looks different because Hermione jinxed him and he looks worn/dirty because he's wandering around the woods.

Hermione put a Stinging hex on him, that's why it says his face was "huge, shiny, and pink, every feature distorted by Hermione's jinx." I think his hair was to his shoulders b/c he hadn't had a haircut in a long time.

Did you know, that this is the ORDER OF THE PHOENIX Movie? Not the DEATHLY HALLOWS Book?
