This is a picture of Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, aged up for the epilogue scene in Deathly Hallows.

( Cut for those avoiding spoilers. )

Okay, yeah -- if you'd told me those two pics were of the same person, I would have believed you.

Also -- BIRTHDAY. I've been trying to write you a birthday fic, but it's all turning out CRAP, so I must take the step of asking you for a couple of prompts! (Pretty please! :))

fera_festiva May 27 2010, 10:36:32 UTC

It's all in the mouth, I think... Well, and the jowls and things in that picture. XD

Argh! I have no idea for prompts. Anyway, I still owe you birthday art! (I've started it over three or four times. It won't go right. I may give up and draw something else. Point is, I so do not deserve birthday fic!) Um... can I think about this one? :/

Lol, well it's your birthday fic, you shouldn't have to stress out about it. So yes, of course you can think about it. And if I find myself able to write something for you in the meantime, then I will!

fera_festiva May 27 2010, 11:15:58 UTC

Aaaah, you. ♥ Well, let's play it easy, then.

OH MAN, when I saw that photo of aged-up Harry I couldn't help but shudder. ;_; I actually think that Enfield looks younger! Harry looks like he's been nagged at by Ginny for years and stuck sitting at home, staring at the fireplace or something. :((((

B-but thank you so much for that shout-out! ♥♥ You are too kind. I'd make you something for your special birthday, but our scanner's busted so it could only be written :(

IKR? He's spent years gazing into the fire and thinking of Draco, and then when he sees him again, he appears to have a pubetastic beard like a crap folk singer. Poor Harry. ;_; indeed.

*Gazes at your icon as a form of brain bleach*

I am going to edit the post to also rec the post you just made, if that's OK! I love your writing. It seems to come, very eloquently, from the heart.

PUBETASTIC INDEED. That is very unfortunate!

Omg these people need to get out more often. *insert rant about Harry becoming a boring family man, when I expected he'd travel around the world, searching for new adventures*

Also, why couldn't they just get older actors? The epilogue won't last for more than five minutes, right? O_o

I can't thank you enough! ♥♥♥

fera_festiva May 27 2010, 11:38:53 UTC

The silly thing is, if they had got older actors, the other side of fandom would be wanking about how they should have used the original ones and aged them up. *eyeroll* I wouldn't mind, it's just that... what were they thinking with the horrible clothes? And beards? It's Lupin's porntache all over again. Ffffffffffffffffffffffff

For some reason, I thought he looked an awful lot like Jonathan Price:

Oh god, I totally see it! D:

It looks like the filmmakers will give us a stragely creepy twist on the book's fluffy epilogue.

"HARRY IS HAPPY BECAUSE HE IS A PEDO. All was well."

fera_festiva June 1 2010, 12:35:25 UTC

I seriously don't get it. I have friends who are in their late 30s and 40s and they look younger than this. Fuck it, my mother is 61 and she looks younger than these guys. *facepalm*

spacefragments May 27 2010, 17:10:50 UTC

OMG CANNOT UNSEE

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME

fera_festiva June 1 2010, 12:36:35 UTC

I TOTALLY KNOW RIGHT. I have been unable to unsee this for years but this has made it a million times worse.
