TV/movie kids looking old
Man, the best I can figure, the kids in the Harry Potter universe age really fast. I mean, if you watch the movies after not seeing them for a long time... well, the twins look like they're thirty years old! Maybe it's just 'cause they're British people or something ::snerk:: but they look supremely age-ed.
But that's the truth about nearly all movies and TV shows. 'Cause the kids are played by 20-somethings, they look way too mature for their parts. Or like in TV shows when they're in their late teens at the strart of a series... by the end of the series they're totally Xanderified (really being 30-something, and looking it. Middle-aged spread, anyone?)
I was flipping through channels and landed on one of the Harry Potter movies on ABC and got a terrible jolt of "What the hell?" The Weasley twins looked OLD!!!
And BTW, has anyone else noticed how HD is ruining the allure of TV and movies? I honestly would rather not be able to see every single flaw in someone's face and body. I guess I'm just a romantic... I want all that stuff to be hidden by the magic of the golden screen, and hi-def is taking that away from me. I mean, I'm sure there's someone out there that gets a happy out of being able to count every single one of Dustin Hoffman's nose hairs... but I would rather do without.
Anyways, just looking at the Harry Potter movies makes me feel old. They start out as little tiny babies... and by the Half-Blood Prince I'M the one that feels about a thousand years old.
