For some reason I can't look at the pictures here at MuggleNet:( But then I tried Veritaserum.com, and there was no problem over there:S Anyway she looks so cool! I imagined her with short hair, but this is great too! I love Tonks in the books, and I kind of fell sorry for her, when Harry got angry, because she seemed to be sad... I'm looking forward to see her in the movie - her clothes look so awesome too...:)

Compliments to the casting director....

I think remember Tonks saying that she didn't like the hair she was wearing(and I think that's the hair you're seeing now.) She then changed it to the short, spiky, bubblegum-pink hair that we all know about.


Posted by Sally Aug 14th 2006

OMG! I love how she looks like! COOL!


Posted by BaldEMort Aug 14th 2006

she doesn´t even looks like book-tonks


Posted by tovarbaker Aug 14th 2006

who said that she is not supposed ot be hot??? where does it say that in the book


Posted by Ilovedanielradcliffe Aug 14th 2006

Aw i think she's good, not exactly how I imagined, But I think i'll imagine her like that from now on. I like it! But we must remember shes a metamorphagi so she can change her appearance. Maybe we'll see her bubblegum hair later in the film


Posted by performingmonkey Aug 14th 2006

Excellent. And I'm going to enjoy all the bitchy comments from girls that think they ARE Tonks and say she looks nothing like her! Regarding her age, it's never specified, she's just 'young'. I hope Tonks has an important role in book 7. Her Metamorphmagi powers HAVE to be used for something other than changing her hair or nose! She could be impersonating a Death Eater.


Posted by Tauriel Aug 14th 2006

I love how people pass judgements before they've seen the movie, or at least, an official picture. *rolleyes* Because this is NOT an official picture and therefore she might look different on screen (everything looks different after it goes through postproduction). And haven't you guys forgotten that she's a METAMORPHMAGUS? This is just one look of her! She might change appearance four or six or seven times throughout the film!


Posted by flibbertigibbit Aug 14th 2006

tonks? well, okay. now i want to know what the blue jackets say on the back. anyone?


Posted by forestq Aug 14th 2006

Okay...I'm hoping her hair is short and spikey at least for a little while...


Posted by Cinderella85 Aug 14th 2006

Brilliant! She's perfect. Don't let the long purple hair bother you, I'm sure she'll have short 'n' pink the rest of the movie, they probably just want to show how she can change her appearence. I think she's very Tonks. Love the boots!!


Posted by the_sexorcist Aug 14th 2006

Awesome, I imagine her more like the hairdresser in ten years younger.


Posted by ronmione_ Aug 14th 2006

wow, she looks so cool! *leaves house to buy purple hair dye*


Posted by Flying_Cows Aug 14th 2006

She'd be good for Tonks :) I thought her hair would be short and choppier, but oh well.


Posted by Kareen Aug 14th 2006

Awesome! She looks great even though her hair isn't short and spiky. And I want her outfit! It looks so cool!!


Posted by crazy_ned Aug 14th 2006

Actually, Tonks sometimes has long hair in the books. In OotP Chapter 9 Jo describes Tonk's hair as "tomato-red and waist length." As for her age, I believe Tonks is in her early 20s.


Posted by inomoreabouthpthnu Aug 14th 2006

SHES THE PERFECT AGE PEOPLE GOSHHH she looks young..mwah i love it~


Posted by Patronus Aug 14th 2006

i hate it.


Posted by MaW_121 Aug 14th 2006

She looks more like a "biker chick" than tonks to me


Posted by loveslupin Aug 14th 2006

Doesnt look like I thought she would but I like her anyway. She looks well sweet. Aww! 'Tis the possible future Mrs Lupin! lol. I STILL don't agree with that pairing though but just picturing the actors together...LOL!


Posted by longbottom Aug 14th 2006

=[ i didnt picture tonks like that at all.. i dont really like it but it'll do i guess ... =(


Posted by fanatic Aug 14th 2006

She is pretty close to what I had pictured so I am happy. I know everyone is complaining that she does not have the bubble gum pink spiked hair but I really love her hair and and outfit in this picture. Seeing and hearing all this stuff about the this new actors and actresses playing these new characters just make waiting until next summer to them in the movie harder.


Posted by PopcornFish Aug 14th 2006

"I imagine her more like the hairdresser in ten years younger." Great to know I'm not the only one who thinks that. Anyway, yes, the picture; I think she looks great for the part, personally. I especially like her outfit- very Tonks-like, in my opinion. And, as people have already stated, you've got to remember that she's a Metamorphmagus; she can change her appearance at will, and probably will at least once in the film. So don't worry, we'll most likely get to see the spikey bubblegum-pink hair we all know and love. You can't make any judgements on her character until then.


Posted by ermynee78 Aug 14th 2006

eh.


Posted by crazybookworm Aug 14th 2006

no.......she doesn't look like how i imagined tonks at all


Posted by aia124 Aug 14th 2006

I'm sure Natalie will be GREAT, but I had just hoped that her hair was bubblegum pink and MUCH, MUCH shorter (almost like a man) :-p.


Posted by LadyArwen06 Aug 14th 2006

I can't say she is the Tonks I imagined but I don't think she is a bad choice


Posted by mai Aug 14th 2006

She's close to imagine Tonks!..well her clothes is. lol I imagined Tonks younger with short spiky pink hair. But I guess she'll do.


Posted by dobby_rocks Aug 14th 2006

Well other then that Tonks is suppose to have short spiky hair. of course thats true she can change her hair to what she wants so i guess its ok. No wonder Remus has fallen for her. Tonks is one of my favorite charachters and i thought NT was a good choice for her


Posted by aia124 Aug 14th 2006

P.S.- It's Nymphadora Tonks, not Nymphador Tonks.


Posted by Germione Aug 14th 2006

Tonks is scary looking...lol. dominatrix?


Posted by BlarneyPilgrim Aug 14th 2006

SWEEEET! she dresses like i do, and im going to dye my hair that color ond day!


Posted by polkadots56 Aug 14th 2006

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. i pictured her a little different... not like a hot woman, more like a "cute" person. but i guess this look is cool! i like it


Posted by Hermione0716 Aug 14th 2006

That is EXACTLY how I've always pictured her!!!!!!!! sweet!!!


Posted by Matrinka Aug 14th 2006

Oh... wow... that is *NOT* what I imagined Tonks to look like. This is a film first - usually everything is spot-on perfect. "My" Tonks was a little bit chubbier - and less... s&m. With short spikey hair - not a school girl cut dyed purple.


Posted by Hannah_at_Hogwarts Aug 14th 2006

Interesting...I thought Tonks to be a fun, playful type of character who does know when to be serious. This picture does not capture that. Natalia Tena reminds me, in this picture, of someone who would be portraying a vampire-slayer or a vampiress from the movie Van Helsing. I too was taken aback by the long hair...however, this IS just one picture. In the movie, Miss Tena could come across as perfectly acceptable as Tonks....we will have to wait and see.


Posted by AlcoHorace Aug 14th 2006

What? Where is the spikey hair? Hair almost bald, Tonks with long hair, WTF?! F#@%ing cheesy movie-makers... No $$$ from me, that's for sure...


Posted by Devonwood Aug 14th 2006

Not exactly how I pictured Tonks, but then again movie!Remus and movie!Sirius aren't how I pictured them, either. Oh well. She'll still probably do great for the part. I always thought of Tonks as short, slightly chubby (not fat), and with a bubbly personality. Hmmm...


Posted by Weazleby Aug 14th 2006

I always pictured her with the pink hair, and I always thought of her with her hair up or something like that, but still, it's really cool to see her on set already. Hopefully it'll be a great movie


Posted by Phoenix87 Aug 14th 2006

I pictured her with slightly softer features, but she's a lot closer to the mark than Lupin was. Lookin' good!


Posted by Annie Aug 14th 2006

I imagined Tonks a little softer and not so eccentric, but I definitely approve of this version of Tonks. I can't wait to see the movie! The characterisations this time around look spot on.


Posted by marsisbrighttonight Aug 14th 2006

not exactly how i pictured tonks but of course this is just 1 pic...her costume looks great but i hope they have the bubblegum pink short spiky hair for the majority of the film because i would probably like that a lot better...


Posted by viki_hp_nerd Aug 14th 2006

when i first saw this, i was like, "hey her hair is too long!" but then i thought, tonks changes her hair all the time, not only colors...but lengths, cuts, whatever. so yeah. i think she's pretty good looking, yeh good for lupin!


Posted by Quidditch_Queen Aug 14th 2006

She looks a lot like I imagined her. She needs the pink hair though :(


Posted by Matrinka Aug 14th 2006

I have to agree -- THIS Tonks looks like a force to be reckoned with. Book Tonks... I see her as a slightly chubby poser who does tricks to make kids like her. I agree that the movies and books are separate and the look may change for later scenes... but ugh.


Posted by laetri Aug 14th 2006

I think she looks almost perfect, I immagined her hair shorter but whatever. I am so happy now!


Posted by silverlala Aug 14th 2006

She's cute! ha ha I thought they would get this super plain chick, I guess she is but whoa Remus Lupin is going to have fun :)


Posted by susanova Aug 14th 2006

I think it's interesting that so many people pictured Tonks as "chubby" -- I thought Nymphadora would be more... nymph-like? In my mind she was small-boned, so that maybe she looked younger than she really was (even without morphing).


Posted by confused Aug 14th 2006

Hmmm.. I can't complain I suppose
