Why do you think JKR pictured elves so differently than we are used to. Or just what I'm used to. You know LOTR style.

I think it's because JKR has an amazing imagination. If the elves looked like the LotR's elves, I think that would have been lame, lol.

well pretty much everything in the wizarding world is how it has already been imagined, so i guess she figured there would be some misconceptions among muggles

Yeah, you are all probably right. Maybe the fact I saw the movies first didn't help either. I would like them at least to be pictured a little more "elegant/graceful"? Don't know if I used the right words. Confused

I was actually afraid of Dobby at first. He scared the heck outta me ! I thought he was there to kill Harry or something.

I just can't get over it! The elves are really ugly in the movie.
Although if Orlando Bloom and Liv Taylor played as elves in the Harry Potter movies Laughing

I don't think Hermione would've had an Elves Liberation Party. Very Happy

yes true... i still feel.. he looks a bit scary in the movie.. compared to the illustration picture of dobby in the book..where he looks pretty young...

the movie one was too much wrinkled... but yea..i still hate to see him scream and beat himself soo badly....
