Eh. What are they supposed to do, wait 19 years so the characters look older naturally?

[(Anonymous)]

Less old fashioned clothes would have helped. It's supposed to be 19 years into the future, not 50 years into the past.

Re: not OP

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone should be wearing metallic jumpsuits with shoulder pads.

Re: not OP

[(Anonymous)]

No, the 80s are still too far back.

:D

[raspberryrain]

That made me laugh.

Re: not OP

[(Anonymous)]

Ehhhhh.

Everything about the wizarding world is oldfashioned and behind the teams. To me, it would feel weird if they were more fashionable.

Re: not OP

[(Anonymous)]

Movie!Hermione isn't, though, so it's looking really weird on her.

[(Anonymous)]

You talk as though they only had two options:

1) wait nearly two decades to film the prologue
2) dress your characters like frumpy senior citizens

I mean... do you really think they had no other choice? Like... better character design and wardrobe were totally out of the question?

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, they could've found older actors who looked like the younger ones. It happened for A League of Their Own.

[sparklywalls]

I might be remembering wrong but won't wizards age slightly slower than humans because of a longer lifespan?

I feel like they could've got away with not trying to make those actors look so obviously older. But I guess you could argue ageing in the films is so messed up anyway considering everyone who is supposed to be something like 30-35 at most is played by very much middle aged actors.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't see Harry, Ron, Hermione, or Ginny caring much about not looking frumpy.

[(Anonymous)]

I think Ginny'd care.

[(Anonymous)]

This. None of them really gave a shit about fashion.

Plus looking frumpy means people pretty much ignore you, so it's a good way to not attract much attention while bumbling into your secret magic train platform.

[osidiano]

Didn't Molly Weasley literally walk through the train station yelling about Platform 9 & 3/4 in The Sorcerer's Stone though? Like, she was so conspicuous even Harry noticed, and he's the most oblivious protag ever.

[(Anonymous)]

Duh, Daniel Radcliffe hasn't looked anywhere near good since he grew hair on his mini-wiz.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no, see, that is exactly what parents look like the morning they have to drop their kids off for school. You just know they were up half the night before last-minute packing and shit, and this train is leaving way too damn early in the morning.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, this was my thought too.

[killertofuuu]

I like this secret for the "Harry Potter and the Cursed Haircut" bit.

[(Anonymous)]

They should have just hired older actors, they look like kids playing dress up in grandpa’s trunk

Maybe that's the wizarding style at that point.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe frumpy Muggle clothes were in for 2017(?).

Alternatively, they could be those kind of parents that take delight in looking not great to see their kids off to school.

[(Anonymous)]

Parents are supposed to look like that. It's one of the many ways they intentionally embarrass their children.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm roughly the age they are supposed to be there (maybe even a bit older) and frankly I am appalled at how frumpy and traditionally middle-aged many of my old friends now look, so I can't say I'm surprised. I am one of the few clinging to the past
