ehh shes alright. i mean well you cant expect it to be what everyone pictured exactly cause people picture different things.. but most of the time she has short spiky pink hair am i correct? at one point shes an old lady and another she has mouse brown hair.. but i dont remember purple.. but hey i could be wrong. i'm sure she'll be excellent.. -jenny

whooo what a wonderful Tonks costume -- i love it! she looks a lot more good-looking than i imagined her, but that's better!


Posted by Clamshell Aug 14th 2006

Oh. Well! Cool. But... Is that her robe? And is it leather? And is it black? And is it punk-style? I sort of hope they have not made her a super-punker. But she looks cool, that Natalia Tena! A good Tonks! And her shall change several times during filming. Or else, someone will have to paaaayyy!

wow...so kool...nice!


Posted by ladyofemynarnen Aug 14th 2006

cool cool!


Posted by molly8491 Aug 14th 2006

She doesnt really look like book Tonks but i think that this is probally better. I love the hair and the outfit.


Posted by davethedino Aug 14th 2006

I hope they don't make her hair purple instead of pink, that would be really stupid.


Posted by Lazuli Aug 14th 2006

WOW! She looks so AMAZING! I see what Lupin saw in her. I want to look that cool too!


Posted by DarkMark Aug 14th 2006

*Sigh* Would it kill them for ONCE to go with the book's description. I mean, it's only the hair length that's a little out of whack, but really. Why can't they just go with what was written in the books.


Posted by westernxwitch Aug 14th 2006

w00t! I've been waiting FOREVER to see Tonks!


Posted by deirdrexgrint Aug 14th 2006

amazing now i can finally picture tonks as pretty.


Posted by Katcrux Aug 14th 2006

i'm kinda tired to saying this, but people, seriously, the filmakers did not reach into your head and pull out YOUR versions of characters, so they are not going to look exactly how you pictured them, so if that bothers you, make your own damn movie! as for me, i think she is totally hot and i want to strip her of her outfit not only so i can have it for myself, but also...well, nevermind. i think it would be cool if her hair and makeup changed throughout the movie, just for fun!


Posted by rockerbabyfi12 Aug 14th 2006

Obviously I'm going to have to try really hard to keep my Tonk's picture in my head. Short, pixie cut bright pink hair. Yeah....But considering these people can't get in my head, it's pretty good. lol


Posted by crookshanks10 Aug 14th 2006

not really at all how i imagined her... her hair is too long, and she doesnt look cool enough.


Posted by soulmeetsbody Aug 14th 2006

Wow! She looks great! But i wish they could have started her out with her "bubble gum" pink hair........


Posted by Boo_On_You Aug 14th 2006

I'm a bit disappointed... I wonder if it's a wig, though. I want my hair like that. I had it like that but now it's red.


Posted by razzamatazza Aug 14th 2006

Pretty Tonks-ish I'd say. I hope her look is different through-out the movie (like different hairstyles) because she can change it at will and all... If not I think at least they got a decent look for her.


Posted by lsbigbro11 Aug 14th 2006

Too old, I'm sad :(


Posted by otter_weaselxshipper Aug 14th 2006

i know her hair will change and everything, but i don't think that's the best look right there.


Posted by csapc Aug 14th 2006

wheres the bubblegum pink hair? i pictured her looking a little bit younger but i trust the casters picking her for the role... im excited! haha i rock top 125~


Posted by Mouse Aug 14th 2006

She looks lovely. Remember, folks, that as Tonks is (sadly) a fictional character, everyone's mental image is going to be different. Also, she starts out in OotP with purple hair. Furthermore, not everyone wears short spikey hair well, so it may have been the decision of the people making the movie to choose a style that best flatters the actress, or simply them making a point that she can change hair length as well as colors. Could we all please try to wait for a) more photos or b) the movie until we make judgements?


Posted by Frey Aug 14th 2006

Natalia Tena is about 22 years old, and so is Tonks. She's not too old for the role.


Posted by NeonDisease Aug 14th 2006

I always imagined her rounder for some reason...not fat, but just kind of short and bigger. And I thought her hair was very short and spiky. Bubblegum pink hair would have been nice. I'm sorry to say, but this character looks like she was dressed at any Halloween costume shop as generic "Witch". To me, she doesn't look as hardcore as Tonks is. But, we have to take what we can get, and hopefully my throughts were just wrong and this is actually more like Jo imagined her to look. I'm excited for the movie of my Favorite of the books no matter what!


Posted by joelephant Aug 14th 2006

ZOMG! Awesome! I imagined her more with spiky hair, not straight, but I guess she Metamorphmagi'ed it.. But cool.


Posted by katie19 Aug 14th 2006

Wow, not really how I imagined the hair, but thats okay. Everything else looks perfect. It will all work out!


Posted by Alora_Phoenix Aug 14th 2006

She looks good for the part, but her hair should be cropped short and pointing in all directions.


Posted by meeeeegan Aug 14th 2006

WAPOOOO! perfecto!


Posted by Grey Aug 14th 2006

Yeay! cool hair. I supose that her hair changes color thoughout the movie.


Posted by hpmaniac666 Aug 14th 2006

Isn't she supposed to be Tonks, not an X-men......


Posted by orcaboy321 Aug 14th 2006

I kept expecting short spiky hair. But she's definitely good enough for me, as long as she let's Tonks' personalities come through.


Posted by clemence713 Aug 14th 2006

Not to be rude cause i probally am ..........its not at all how i pictured tonks ! i have no clue what im thinking but i imagined the purple to brighter and spikier lol . im not wearing my contacts now but it looks like its a guy in that darn wig. Anyway it'll probally look better when i see the movie Anyways i have no other response


Posted by ValGal292 Aug 14th 2006

alot of people aren't happy w/ the pic but i think she looks awesome...i just hope they don't screw up her character


Posted by nyrin Aug 14th 2006

Woah...hit and a miss for me. Of course i don't expect her to look like I've pictured, that's just unreasonable. But this Tonks just seems...kinda old.


Posted by Hagrids_shoes Aug 14th 2006

who knows if she is tonks, remember the british like to do weird things to their hair


Posted by PadfootBaby Aug 14th 2006

Um... okay, first off: Where'd the short, spiky pink hair go? Not the same without it. Crap. And... was Tonks ever described as gothic?!? Cuz that's how she looks in the picture. Ugh. Oh well, just another WB character letdown to add to my list. And I was lookin forward to seeing her, too! Well, I guess I'll be okay as long as they do Bella good. Crap. I sure hope you're right, starlesswinter!


Posted by GoGoGryffindor Aug 14th 2006

oh sweet, shes almost exactly what i imagined!


Posted by aquamarine116 Aug 14th 2006

She doesn't really look like what I expected but Tonks can change her appearance so hopefully they change her hair too. I just think it'll be really weird to see her together with the guy who plays Lupin.


Posted by SCPGOH_ad24 Aug 14th 2006

whoa, totally not what i expected but i'm sure it'll look good in the movie :)


Posted by Mrs_Padfoot Aug 14th 2006

Not who I would have chosen, but a very good cast indeed. I do wonder when we'll see her with pink hair.


Posted by FluffyWillBiteYou Aug 14th 2006

WHAT! Awww I wanted the short bubblegum pink hair =( If she had that she'd be Perfect!


Posted by bookworm021 Aug 14th 2006

it is good and i do hope the hair changes but otherwise i am pleased just how i pictured tonks.


Posted by Mrs_Finnegan Aug 14th 2006

Isn't her hair supposed to be short? Shes not at all how I pictured tonks..no,no,no


Posted by Kimmy Aug 14th 2006

well i guess it's a good pick but not what i thought she was for some reason i thought she would look older she looks like she is 25 and in the last book doesn't it say she likes lupin i'm not calling lupin old but he isn't 25 i thought of her different maybe like 36, 37 thats just what i think maybe she is great for the part a great actress


Posted by aquamarine116 Aug 14th 2006

Is it just me or does the WB have a problem with hair? First Dumbledore's beard tie, then they make Hermione's all curly, Harry's Frodo and Ron's 70's hair, and now this... oh well, it's not like we can do anything about it. Tonks still looks cool if not like a total punk/ or goth.


Posted by 1crookshanks1 Aug 14th 2006

I love her outfit and hair but I dunno if she's Tonks enough for me....just my opinion!!


Posted by TruePotterFan Aug 14th 2006

wow! she looks great! she'll give fleur delacor a run for her money. ;-D


Posted by Draco_Rocks Aug 14th 2006

NOT how I imagined Tonks but she looks good still!


Posted by Dan_fan Aug 14th 2006

wow that is not how i thought she would look like


Posted by Tigerlili_08 Aug 14th 2006

She actually bothers me in that photo. I guess Ill have to wait to decide if I like her or not. Right now = not impressed.


Posted by mugglecastrocks Aug 14th 2006

huh. well i can't say i imagined her looking like that. i sort of pictured shorter spikier hair, and not soo, idk, wildish? but she looks good.
