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.

you guys are so wrong daniel looks so hot wit his hair short....it looks way better than wit it long


Posted by mugglenut Jun 21st 2006

Eeeeewwwww Daniel Radcliffe is SO ugly now. He was really cute in SS, alright in COS, really hot in POA, but ever since then, he is gross. I don't understand how people think he is good looking nowadays. I'm sorry, but even though I got used to his hair in GOF, cutting it short just shows his face too much, and how can his hair be messy if it's short?


Posted by weasleygirl17 Jun 21st 2006

The very first thing i though was oh my god NOOOOO!!! I loved daniel's hair in the fourth movie and that looks horrible. NO NO NO NOOOOO!


Posted by potterfan22 Jun 21st 2006

Okay, Dan's ALWAYS hot and everything, but seriously, what's with his hair??? It looks, well, it just looks bad! No offense!


Posted by siriusisalive Jun 22nd 2006

NO NONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NO! HE NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS LONG HAIR! LONG HAIR! LONG! LONG! LONG! agh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ON EARTH ARE THE CRAZY poeple who work on this thinking? this is sad. no.


Posted by HPLVR929 Jun 22nd 2006

i dont know why everyone is so shocked with his hair...the other day when they posted the pic of his standin the guys hair was short so it should have been obvious that dans hair was going to be short. stand ins always have the same hair as the actors the stand in for remember that ppl


Posted by HPLVR929 Jun 22nd 2006

but i must agree that i liked him better with longer hair but gof his hair was too long for me. i guess we were just all used to the hair from chamber i think that was the best but they are trying to make him look his age i guess blah grow it back man this sucks...we complained with the poa hair then the gof hair so obviously we need an in between and this ootp doesnt fit in that lol


Posted by Inez Jun 22nd 2006

I hate his hair to but, I think it looks like that from the last movie me filmed. And, sadly, hes lots all Potterness along with his hair. Know it looks like Dan Radcliffe in Hogwarts robs.


Posted by ritz Jun 22nd 2006

no no no i loveddd his long hair:( well hopefully this is just one pic? i dunno...i mean a trim would be ok but i dont want it short..i want it back like the 3rd movie if anything


Posted by mysduende Jun 22nd 2006

Thank the gods his hair isn't long. The last movie they were trying to turn him into a Rupert clone.


Posted by Nely_Longbottom Jun 22nd 2006

Oh, people. Hold on, ok!!!! It is just a hair cut and, by the way, I like it. Dan is a person, so he has the right to change his hair cut without asking permission to the Harry Potter fan base. So, now what? He has to have the same hair cut until the end of HP. Oh, please!!!!


Posted by Araminta Jun 22nd 2006

Eeek! What did they do to his hair?! He doesn't look at all like Harry now. However, I think you people who are saying that the movie is going to suck based on his new hairstyle are being silly. Since when does a person's hairstyle of all things reflect the entertainment value of a movie?


Posted by Clamshell Jun 22nd 2006

I suppose it's quite a few of us whom all hate Dan's new hairstyle. I certainly do :S Can't he wear a wig or anything? Please, WB... Please?


Posted by pink_allegria Jun 22nd 2006

Ah. MUCH better than the hair in GoF, which was, like, SO wrong! In PoA it's still the best, though.


Posted by vintagexlove Jun 22nd 2006

Damn! I hate his new hair. ewww!!!


Posted by ant4buffy Jun 22nd 2006

Wow, could this poster finally mean that they have cut his hair and he is going to look normal in the next film? unlike the 4th where he looked like a girl?


Posted by hpfan112 Jun 22nd 2006

I'm so happy to see a pic from the new movie but I don't like Harry's hair...It's too short... Harry has messy hair. He was so nice in the 3rd and in the 4th movie.


Posted by Emi_Weasley Jun 22nd 2006

Oh....My.....Freaking.....God.... NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His hair was awsome in GoF!!! Now he looks like Draco in PS!! Eek!! Gross gross gross..


Posted by remylefay Jun 22nd 2006

ewwwww what did they do to him? he was almost starting to look kinda hott in gof! *rlf*


Posted by foreverstrange Jun 22nd 2006

*cringe* I have always thought Daniel was hot, and I liked his hair best in PoA, and his hair was ok in GoF, but they cut it waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyytoo short 4 this movie, and even though I think it looks a tad dodgy, I still think Dan's as dreamy as ever.


Posted by Guess_who Jun 22nd 2006

Petunia would be glad, Harry finally managed to control his hair. Now seriously, what on earth has he done to his hair? Harry's hair is supposed to be rebel and with a bit long fringe to cover the scar( although that is no longer necessary as he doesn't have it anymore!). Personally, I think that the best hair was the third film one.


Posted by roundglasses Jun 22nd 2006

It looks fine. Long hair dates the movies to a specific era. These movies with the differing styles will allow them to be enjoyed forever.


Posted by harryrules1234 Jun 22nd 2006

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what have they done with his hair!!!!! it looked better in the PoA and GoF!


Posted by nat089 Jun 22nd 2006

Oh gosh, they're changing his hairstyle AGAIN? I kind of wish they'd just stick to either of the hairstyles from the 2nd and 3rd movie. In my opinion, those were the best ones. The style in GOF was okay but a bit on the long side. Let's just hope that it's just this picture and the angle and wind or whatever it is... I don't particularly like the look of it already...


Posted by amychristine Jun 22nd 2006

I think people are making too big of a deal about the haircut. As long as the story is close enough and they don't kill Harry off or something ridiculous like that, why worry about it? WB hasn't let us down before...


Posted by chocolatefrog12 Jun 22nd 2006

I don't know... I acually kind of like it. But I like shorter hair. It looks superbad in that picture, but in the commercial for the queen, it looks half-way decent. Nice poster, I suppose though. It looks a little fake and photoshoped, but that's me.


Posted by Birdwad Jun 22nd 2006

wowow.......that is some bad hair. good thing for editing and special effects. ;-)


Posted by hpchico786 Jun 22nd 2006

guys... does it really matter how his hair looks... i mean... does it change the movie? on another note... hope nevilles hair isnt emo


Posted by Susan14 Jun 22nd 2006

I just pray it's better than the PoA movie. Well, hitting 'record' on a camrecorder and dropping it out of a ten story window and letting it hit the sidewalk would be a better movie than PoA.


Posted by aussiegirl587 Jun 22nd 2006

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it burns it looks horribal please dan do us all a favor ang grow it out again pleaseeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


Posted by allie_meagan Jun 22nd 2006

I think the general consensus here is that Dan's greatest hair moment was in Prisoner of Azkaban. If only Warner Brothers could see this and find a happy medium between this new near-buzzcut for Order of the Phoenix and the slightly painful long tresses of Goblet of Fire.


Posted by fire_whiskey Jun 22nd 2006

nooooooo! how DARE they do that to Dan's hair?! this is just another one of WB's attempts to make the movies HORRIBLE! (and they're doing a good job of it as well) grrrr!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Siriuslives5 Jun 22nd 2006

I actually like it! It makes him look older, which is good cuz now we're on the fifth book! yay!


Posted by clawscall Jun 22nd 2006

Ok I know I've posted twice already but I just can't not say this since so many of you think that he doesn't look like Harry now with cut. Harry Potter is described as having "Messy" hair not "Long" hair. The long nasty nappy hair he had in GoF was not complying with canon potter verse. Now from what I can tell from the current picture it might be a little too short but what he had in GoF was not Harry either. So stop Complaining everyone!!!!


Posted by Baphomet Jun 22nd 2006

I don't know why, but he reminds me of Hannibal Lecter in this picture.


Posted by ailescassees91 Jun 22nd 2006

It kinda looks like he needs a shower... Ewwwww.........


Posted by panic_method Jun 22nd 2006

why???? i used to love him in GOF because of his hair....i just hope rupert wont give up his hair either


Posted by CrookshanksGranger Jun 22nd 2006

I agree with PadFootBaby and Kim! I thought the long hair was stupid at first but this is just horrible! ANd it DOES look like he is trying for Draco's hair in the first two movies!! It's all shiny on the sides, ew! PoA was the best as far as Harry's hair goes (that's all that was the best in PoA...)


Posted by CrookshanksGranger Jun 22nd 2006

I know I just posted, but I looked again at the image, and you know, his scar IS gone! 'Course, it could just be the lighting... ANd I take back what I said about him looking like Draco, he looks almost exactly like someone else...TOM RIDDLE (in CoS).


Posted by Cocoa Jun 22nd 2006

WHY?! did they have to cut his hair? it was perfect before (in GOF) they could have just trimmed it, but why did they have to cut it all off? it looks fine on Dan i suppose, but it totally screws up our whole image of Harry. Also, besides the hair, in that picture you cant see his scar, and his lips are blue. i really hope they let his hair grow back, and this was just an accident!


Posted by r4v3ncl4w Jun 22nd 2006

1. I think his hair was too long in GoF; it was perfect in PoA (which I will say I think is the best movie so far at the risk of losing my fandom street cred; I don't like immediate write-offs of the movie). 2. Hair grows. This is an early promo shot. Check the GoF promos (especially 7/22 and others); didn't his hair look longer in the movie? Is it too obscured to tell? 3. Blue lips? By the same token, he has a green forehead and purple cheeks and neck. It looks more like color grading to me. 4. Let's not prejudge the movie by his hair length and scarless forehead on an *early promo shot* (see point 2). Don't many of you like GoF but not his shaggy mane? 5. We don't know who made the haircut decision--it could be Dan, a previous director, the current director.... Or, who knows? Maybe he got gum stuck in his hair and they had to do an emergency wadditomy. It seems like we're tending to jump to a lot of conclusions. 6. Books are different from movies. Some things that work in books don't work in movies. Case in point: Do we really want to see them all wearing wizarding hats? It's a filmographic nightmare. Strict canon is problematic; the feel of the book and characters is what needs the most faithfulness (not that details always hurt in this department). I hope I'm not being too disrespectful, or anything; I just think many people are ignoring quite a bit and going with immediate gut reactions.

He just looks gay


Posted by The_Oddball Jun 22nd 2006

I hate Harry with short hair.

*dumps a full bottle of fast hair-growth formula on dan's head* ..too short!!


Posted by winterpotato Jun 22nd 2006

Is THAT the bowl-haircut!? *diesoflaughter* By the way, I was watching the commercial for the Queen's birthday, am I the only one who thinks Matt Lewis looks... bald?


Posted by Mizz_Moony_Luver Jun 22nd 2006

Gross, Im gunna puke. Where is his scar BTW?


Posted by MrsWeasleyTwin Jun 22nd 2006

I am glad to see a promo for OOTP, however, this one looks like a fake. And Dan's hair is, wow. Different. I have to say, I didn't like it in GOF, though I do not like it now. I think a happy medium would work just perfect. His hair in this promo poster does look, as many of you have stated, like Draco Malfoy's. Which is wrong. Though, the hair in GOF looked like an 80's style. So, find something in between for the boy. ~*Mrs.WeasleyTwin.


Posted by padfootblack13 Jun 22nd 2006

Yay for the movie. Vomit for the hair.
