	I had to stop when I got to the part about Harry Potter's dreamy blue eyes. If you've never read the books, you shouldn't be starting communities. I'm just sayin'. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hmm, well, I can see how constantly being corrected can get a bit irritating. Still so darned funny. Hmm, Harry has blue eyes in the movie, green in the book. Same thing with Superman, right? I could've sworn I saw a comparison sheet. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	His eyes were green in some parts of the first moive, but the contacts apprently hurt his eyes something terrible. Tell the turth I didn't notice they weren't green until someone pointed it out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm the same way. I didn't know they were green until someone pointed it out-namely, JKR. In several places. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I meant I didn't realize they WEREN'T green in the moive untill someone pointed it out. You'd think my left out word wouldnt have been obvious condsider I had just talked about his eyes being green in parts of the first moive rolls eyes (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm always amazed at the incredibly insignificant details that some fans will get all riled up about. Blue eyes, green eyes, what the fuck is the difference? How does it change the story at all? (Not that I care two whits about HP - it's the principle of the thing.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Yo, I am a Trekkie. Original series, thanks. And it bugged me just as much then as it does now. Being a fan doesn't preclude having a sense of proportion, yet I still see people getting bent out of shape for the dumbest things. The latest kerfuffle over Constantine being a blond reminds me of the mishegoss over Romulans having funny foreheads back when STNG first came on. Why do fans seem to fixate on these silly physical details?

Because a lot of times the silly details are part what makes one love a character

Call me crazy but you shouldn't just randomly change how characters look to suit a story.

I agree about Harry's eyes though. I think the important part is that he has his *mother's* eyes, the color, as far as we know, may not be important.

And call me whatever you like when I say that whether you have red hair or purple hair doesn't change what kind of person you are. I've had this discussion before. There have been films that were exhaustively true to their source material that were boring as hell. There have been films that veered away from the source that captured the spirit better than any literal adaptation could. If the "love" that a person has for a character, story, whatever, is predicated on things like hair color, then I gotta think that fan incredibly shallow. I'd much sooner see something well-done than slavish. But I guess I'm funny that way.

Kinda sorta. I mean, last I checked the color of Superman's eyes wasn't constantly mentioned, a significant bit of backstory and/or a potential plot point, like Harry's. I mean... unlike usual, it doesn't take a huge fangirl or even someone who actually reads character descriptions to know the correct color of the guy's eyes.

And by the way, that's not directed at anything or anyone in particular. I just have a kneejerk reaction to hook onto other people's comment threads if they're even vaguely on-topic rather than starting a new thread (thanks ED!). :3

If you find that Superman thing, please post it, it sounds fun.

	Yeah, JKR apparently hinted at the fact in an interview that Harry's eye colour would be a plot point in books six/seven. I'd link, but I can't find it. It may have been the one for the World Book Week, actually. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The thing is that she could have salvaged the dreamy blue eyes thing by saying she "meant that's what those other communities do, but we know Harry has green eyes". But no, she had to snap like a crazy person. Which, granted, is much funnier than being reasonable. (Reply to this)
