First promotional image for 'Order of the Phoenix'
Ain't It Cool News was at the New York Licensing Show yesterday, where a promotional banner for Order of the Phoenix was spotted.

The picture depicts Harry holding his wand with Hogwarts in the background. Although this is a generic promotion for the next film, one major difference in this film appears to be Dan's hair.

Like I've said before, if you can't make a good poster don't make one at all!

I like his hair like that! It doesn't look like Draco's! His was all greased back in the earlier movies and it's a bowl cut in the last two! Are you people seriously telling me that you think the movie is going to be bad because of Dan's HAIR?! First you didn't like the long hair in movie four, and now you don't like it now! Now everyone's all bring back the long hair when you didn't like it at all when you saw pictures for movie four!


Posted by lizzybennet Jun 21st 2006

Is it me? Or is it that this picture really does nothing to help Dan look hot. Too bad, I mean he is SOOOOOO cute and this picture makes him look like a retard. I want the hot long hair back! Where is it?!!!!! He looks like a pin head with that crappy hair are this people f#ck**g crazy or something? I don't know maybe I'm going insane but that hair is gay. Don't you guys agree with me? Maybe we should buy him a wig or something I don't know...


Posted by missbethanymuggle Jun 21st 2006

it is short but it does make him look a little younger than his actual age and it looks like you can still mess it up harry style not my fav but i see why their doing it


Posted by lizzybennet Jun 21st 2006

Another thing just occured to me*! POA. His hair should be like in POA!!!!! *Well... not exactly to me, I kindda read it in other comments and realized it was true but...you get the idea

Posted by taurus_rox Jun 21st 2006

ok, people, the scar IS there, the pic is just really blurry so it's hard to tell. and i have to agree that they should go back to how his hair was in PoA. i mean, this hair looks ok on dan, but on harry it's just...ew.


Posted by Kamion Jun 21st 2006

"Except your eyes" Aphrase heard over and over in the books, but no attemp was made to give the character the mention green eyes in the movie..... OK... you get used to it. Ravenblack unruly hair? never seen it a shade darker then brown....OK we are used to it by know. Unruly hair that stands out behind? No that icon has gone too. What's next? Dan Radcliffe having a sex change before the next movie?


Posted by lizzybennet Jun 21st 2006

Dear Kamion: His hair may be ugly now but DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT MY DAN'S GETTING A SEX CHANGE OPERATION YOU MORON! I DON'T CARE HOW MANY FREAKING ICONS ARE GONE DON'T YOU DARE SAY MY DAN'S GAY! NOT EVEN KIDDING! sinceraly yours: lizzy


Posted by GinnyPotter Jun 21st 2006

EWWWW!!!! his hair looks HORRIBLE. I loved how it looked in GoF, except it wasnt BLACK like it should be. and he still doesnt have green eyes. they should have made him dye his hair and wear color contacts.


Posted by FieryPhoenix Jun 21st 2006

O____O His hair looks... weird..


Posted by queentazo Jun 21st 2006

omg!!!! what have they done to his hair?? i'm sure its fine when he's just dan, but that is not harry's hair!! he looks weird with big glasses and like no hair!!! plus, isnt it a little early for them to be putting up posters? we are going to get sick of the movie before its even out. especially if that is what his hair looks like in the movie.


Posted by GinnyPotter Jun 21st 2006

ohhh yea i remember his hair in PoA. it looked gooooood their. but i also liked it in GoF. he deosnt even look like harry potter anymore. no black hair, no green eyes, and now his very much so BROWN hair is not messy. =(


Posted by HPFREAK7 Jun 21st 2006

i still think dan looks better with longer hair... why did they cut it short? i thought as the books go on, his hair gets longer more like his fathers?


Posted by foroyar Jun 21st 2006

OMG ick. his neck is too thick and his hair has gone all retarded. what happened to a skinny boy with unruly black hair????


Posted by Ginnylostharrytome Jun 21st 2006

no likey! i want the sk8r boi hair...BACK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW


Posted by LillyBlack Jun 21st 2006

Wow, as if the ten trillion pictures of Hagrid's hut weren't exciting enough, they have a new premotional poster with Harry in front of Hogwarts! From what I've seen and heard about the movie so far, this one looks to be the best movie yet! (For those who can't tell, this is sarcasm.) And what is with Harry's hair? It looks bad short. Isn't it supposed to look ruffled and slightly long according to the books? Another thing the movie inevitable messes up on...


Posted by PotterGurl08 Jun 21st 2006

Awww, come on you guys. His hair doesn't look that bad. I think it looks fine. I mean, of course it doesn't look like "Harry's hair"...but has it ever? In the first two films, it was too neat, in the 4th it was too long...I think this hair kinda looks like it was in POA. But, hair is just hair. Dan's a great actor, so it shouldn't matter. Besides, I think it makes him look a little older...maybe that's what WB was going for, trying to make Harry look older since he's going to be 15 now...


Posted by nerdylatina Jun 21st 2006

His hair doesn't look bad but in my opinion he looks very 'neat', doesn't appear to look like the teenager going through troubles and heartache. I am sure the film will be great. :o)


Posted by Samantha_Weasley Jun 21st 2006

can't he just wear a wig? please??


Posted by loony_luna_lovegood Jun 21st 2006

I think Dan looks considerably worse with his new hair >.


Posted by The_Maltese_Fan Jun 21st 2006

Let a new debate on Dan's hair begin. Frankly, I don't care much about his hair. I just hope it'll be a good movie, not like PoA.


Posted by 62442 Jun 21st 2006

sure i complained about his hair in gof but this is like so much worse


Posted by Anne_ Jun 21st 2006

I like his hair short. It was too long for my taste in GoF so I'm glad to see they sheared off at least some of it. "Posted by Juliana 4 hours ago but...in the book harry never had his hair cutted...they sould be faithfull to the character" I'm sure Harry had his hair cut SOMETIME; otherwise it would be down to his back by the time he reached 7th year, haha.


Posted by mylefts0ck Jun 21st 2006

i must say i hated dan's hair in the last film way to rupert gritn for him ahh my love but this is seriously gross he looks like he shoudl be in a seseame street show or something. or he is playing dress up. i do not approve


Posted by granger1019 Jun 21st 2006

yay! first pic! I really hope Dan's hair isnt quite that short, though! I LOVE his hair in GOF!


Posted by Sariza Jun 21st 2006

I wish he hadn't cut his hair. Harry doesn't have short hair! He has longish, messy hair! Ug! Stars and their hair...


Posted by Grey Jun 21st 2006

I've just had a horrible thought... what if they have already started filming the seine with Dan and that is how his hair will be in the movie and it's not just some "December Drops" aftermath? What if they keep cutting his hair that short though the whole movie! ahhhh! NO! The Beatles look is better... He's going to look like an accountant!


Posted by R_J_Daae Jun 21st 2006

Yuck... Why can't they at least make a tiny attempt to keep his hair consistent? If they can't dye his hair, at least keep it slightly the same between movies... Or maybe Dan is doing a product endorsement for Rogaine? "Harry Potter and the Adolescent-onset Male-pattern Baldness."


Posted by ema Jun 21st 2006

In a lot of the promotional posters from the other movies his hair looks really bad too, but it doesn't really look that way in the movie. hopefully the same is true this time. I think i'd like the short hair if it wasn't slicked back.


Posted by Grey Jun 21st 2006

Blah, I ment "December Boy's" not "Drops" I've been reading to many comments by December Drops and got it all messed up in my head


Posted by performingmonkey Jun 21st 2006

I think they've cut his hair like this to make him look a little more, I don't know, harsh or dangerous or something. It will work well for Ootp where Harry is angry through the whole thing.


Posted by Micino Jun 21st 2006

He looked so much better with long hair. :.-( But is it just me, or are his eyes looking BLUE!!! What the heck?? Can't wait for the movie though!


Posted by DecemberDrops Jun 21st 2006

OH MY GOSH! (sobs with excitement)


Posted by gryffingirl99 Jun 21st 2006

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T-H-I-S- I-S N-O-T H-A-P-P-E-N-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! his hair looked great in poa and pretty good in gof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it used to be hot!!!!!!!!!!! omg they took away the hotness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY CALL THE ATHOURITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYBODY E-MAIL WB SAYING THAT WE WANT THE OLD HAIR BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *start rapidly e-mailing WB with e-mails that say in size 72 print, WE WANT THE OLD HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*


Posted by DecemberDrops Jun 21st 2006

You know, I LIKE his hair. It looks like . . . like more how I depict Harry, and I think Daniel looks good with or without the long hair.


Posted by Grey Jun 21st 2006

Why don't they just shave his head. It's couldn't get much worse. He could do the Krum style.


Posted by focusf1 Jun 21st 2006

Like it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Nowhere in the books does it say Harry's hair is LONG - it just says its untidy and unruly. I'm sorry but in GoF it just looked like it was following the latest fashion at the moment for long "northern" hair on men. Imagine if Dan had been more fashion conscious back when he was filming PoA - he would have had a mohican!


Posted by ishaaface Jun 21st 2006

i'm am not a fan of harry's new hair. ughh... but i'm not expecting too much from this movie cuz the the fifth book is wayy too complicated to be made into a movie. but i'd still be disappointed if there wasn't a movie. so i dunno.....


Posted by gryffindor_phoenix Jun 21st 2006

No, no, NO!!! that's so aweful looking!!!! I liked his hair in GOF!!! They had better keep it long in the actual movie or I think I may cry.


Posted by harryginny4evah Jun 21st 2006

way too short for harry!!!!!!


Posted by marsisbrighttonight Jun 21st 2006

i didnt like it in GoF cuz it was too long and i dont like it in OotP cuz its too short! his hair in POA was awesome!


Posted by tearbear Jun 21st 2006

HARRY WHERE IS YOUR SCAR? It seems that in OotP, Harry loses his scar and there is no need for it during the plot of the movie.


Posted by iveblueangel05 Jun 21st 2006

I actually like Dan's hair. It's very James Bond-ish. I can't wait til OotP


Posted by confused Jun 21st 2006

my username justifies me right now... i hate his hair.. he looks absolutely horrible. Looks like he had two whole bottles of gel applied to his hair. argh...


Posted by silverlala Jun 21st 2006

I thought I liked that short hair on the side but geeze that's WAY too short!


Posted by NinjaPhoenx Jun 21st 2006

NOOOOOOO!!!!! IT SUCKS!!! its all....neat. ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE NEAT! PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK!!!!


Posted by catters Jun 21st 2006

ugh... i hate it!! i loved dan's hair in GoF, the sexy scruffy look... but i think he cut it for that other movie he did... the december boys?.. and it hasnt grown back yet... sigh


Posted by Nari_Black Jun 21st 2006

Nooooo..whyy....*sobs*...It's all gone..what a waste! Well...maybe it'll look betetr...um, in action. Yeah.
