**GAH!**

Who the hell are you and what have you done with the real fifteen-year-old marauders??

I am severely disappointed. I was *really* looking forward to this bit in the film. They've even got James wearing the same spazzy little wire-framed glasses that Harry has to. Come on, peeps--this is the late 70's! The only kids who wore those kinda frames were the kids who got them free on the National Health! Granted, the choice wasn't as varied as it is today but puh-lease! James Potter's parents are rolling in wizarding gold; James is brilliant at Transfiguration; JKR says he is considered 'the height of cool' so why have they made him wear those spazzy specs? James would not have been seen dead in them! Trust me!

They must have thought they could pick any old fifteen-year-old for the part. As long as they stuck those pathetic specs on him, we'd go, "Oh look! James Potter!"

WRONG!!

And don't even get me started on how the others look! I'm ready to bet that Lily won't even have deep red hair. I'm not expecting green eyes anyway--that's rare enough as it is.

:pants:

Gee, I feel *so* much better for getting that out!
