OMG shes nothin at all like i imagined her to be (even though the character in my head was kinda blurry)! but shes cool lol..i never really imagined long purple hair like this..but oh well. well, she is a metamorphmagus so i guess this look isnt gonna b fixed!!!


Posted by dobbysox Aug 14th 2006

She is not what I imagined at all! I thought she wore boyish clothes like baggy pants and dull shirts. I was also really looking forward to the short bubblegum pink hair. I think it will be a very difficult transformation from this sexy version of Tonks to mouse-colored hair version in the sixth film.


Posted by pixigrl89 Aug 14th 2006

She may change throughout the movie though you guys, seriously. She is a metamorphagus*sp?* And she will probably have lots of hair styles! :) No worries.


Posted by Mirdala Aug 14th 2006

She isn't exactly what I pictured, but she looks pretty hot so I can forgive WB. :)


Posted by quidditch7 Aug 14th 2006

not impressed, she looks like a guy, but i am sure she'll look like tonks on the set. plus it's harry potter so i'll love it no matter what!


Posted by PoTtErfanatic4 Aug 14th 2006

lol....half of the people are calling her hot while others think she looks like a guy...lol


Posted by inomoreabouthpthnu Aug 14th 2006

a guy? wtf a guy? maybe you guys need your vision checked out


Posted by Littlemisssophie04 Aug 14th 2006

Hmmm not at all like i excepted. Im not sure what to think I excepted someone much younger I guess with short hair and very boyish cute outfit. Maybe she wont look exactly like that in the movie though, who knows? I think we need to have a discussion with everyone from all over the world and and have like internet chats with a ton of people in it and discuss book 7!!! Anybody else think thats a good idea?


Posted by Jessically Aug 14th 2006

I don't really like it, I always pictured Tonks the way she was drawn, she looks too serious and Tonk is suppose to be very clumsy and Happy-go-lucky, very X-Men, and ya, in the scene where she was packing Harry's trunk she switches to pink


Posted by radical_dreamer Aug 14th 2006

hmm..... not excatly as I imagined..... I imagined her with shorter and pinker hair. But it's all cool! I can't wait to see her in the movies! And Sirius' house!


Posted by cheep_wand Aug 14th 2006

First Glance: EWWWW... gag me w/ a spoon, get rid of that cheesy lipstick chick! Second Glance: i'm diggin the shoes, but that purple hair is just... too much. she seems too girly. i don't like her. like- at all. *Ponders for a while* She's ok- i'll get used to her. She's not acting at the moment, maybe she'll be more clumsy, Mousy, cute, and other Tonks attributes. But excuse me for asking-- she's hott?? uh, no. she really isn't.


Posted by hprocks Aug 14th 2006

I love that purple hair! Can't wait to see a pic with her bubble gum pink hair!


Posted by NickiGrint Aug 14th 2006

She looikn nutin like i imgined her but as long as they put in her and Remus's moment ill forgive Warner Brothers. And is it just me or does she look older than lupin???


Posted by Susan14 Aug 14th 2006

She's undeniably pretty. I don't think she's hot since I'm a girl, but she is quite pretty. Saying she looks like a man is silly.


Posted by femininemarauder Aug 14th 2006

She looks great. She's pretty too.


Posted by IHeartAndrewSims Aug 14th 2006

WOAH she looks WRONG! She's supposed to have short spikey hair. Actually, I think, the only reason we all imagined it that way was because of Mary GrandPre's picture. And it will be pink later, i hope. It was purple with in the beginning. then changed.


Posted by Dane Aug 14th 2006

Um...what's the big deal with people focusing on her hair. That's how she looks when we first meet her. She changes it to the short, pink style when she's in Harry's room. Get over it. All in all, good choice for Tonks...in my opinion.


Posted by AvadaKedavra777 Aug 14th 2006

I'm terribly upset by this photo of Tonks. She looks like a grunge-punk girl, not silly and clumsy like she's described in the book. Also, and I know everyone has said this many times, but why doesn't she have short hair? I understand that her looks will change, but never in the book did she have long purple hair.... I don't like it, not at all.


Posted by AARrocksmysox_ Aug 14th 2006

what does rotfl mean?


Posted by Harrys_Ginny Aug 14th 2006

Not quite how I had her pictured, but I kinda like her look. I think what we are all forgetting (at least I did) is that Tonks is supposed to be really young. And AvadaKedavra777, the books also said that Sirius has a growl to his voice but oh no! He doesn't! And nowhere in the books does it say that Fred and George have long hair...and in the movie...they do!! :O! RELAX! Take a few deep breaths and calm down! It will be OK!


Posted by Harrys_Ginny Aug 14th 2006

AARrocksmysox_: rotfl mean's "rolling on the floor laughing"


Posted by The_Azkaban_Dietitian Aug 14th 2006

Why did they give her long hair? She looks like the Xmen's Storm but with a purple wig instead of a white...


Posted by Abigail Aug 15th 2006

Well, it was bubblegum pink ... and short ... in canon ... but I still like it -- that's a great shade of purple.


Posted by foresaken__ Aug 15th 2006

let us remember that the movies are now in a different.. "reality" i guess we could call it, their so far from the books does it REALLY matter what color and length someone's hair is.. does it REALLY effect the story line? no, does it make it impossible to watch? no. ur just being fan boys/girls really its hair.


Posted by Tay_Sanders Aug 15th 2006

Sweet! She looks fantastic, at least compared to how I first invisioned her to look. It's not what I recall seeing in my head, but at when you remember film to be a whole other medium, she exceeds my previous expectation. I'm almost as happy as when I saw Evanna's interview. *jumps up and down in excitement* Yay OotP!


Posted by Kadaj Aug 15th 2006

Aaaah! My eyes! Tonks looks terrible. What an old hag.


Posted by AARrocksmysox_ Aug 15th 2006

Harrys_Ginny... thank you! i feel so dumb


Posted by Siriusly_Padfoot Aug 15th 2006

huh interesting! I imagined Tonk's hair to be short, spikey, shiny and slick most of the time. Not exactly what I had in mind but good enough! I know she can change her appearence but I thought her main look would be short, and sleek. I'm excited to see her other appearences :)


Posted by choco523 Aug 15th 2006

AAAAA! Why is her hair long?! She looks a little more punkish than I imagined--I imagined her with short pink/purple hair (depending on when she changed it) and just wearing regular witch robes, with a spunky, yet kind disposition. This Tonks could potentially fit in on Knockturn Alley. But hopefully she'll act like Tonks!


Posted by Dane Aug 15th 2006

You have got to be kidding me AvadaKedavra777 and Harrys_Ginny. Did you guys skim the book? She was described in the chapter "The Advance Guard" as "the violet haired woman". She had purple hair at the beginning. It should end here with the hair!


Posted by blastedgoose Aug 15th 2006

like her outfit!!! and chill with the hair, the beauty of tonks is that she can CHANGE her appearance at will.


Posted by felena90 Aug 15th 2006

Oh My God - this is so totally coooool! Awesome - she looks brilliant, just exactly what needed! She's beautiful and it looks good and her hair (I'm sure there will be lots of different hairstyles throughout the film though) is most suitable - at least in the concept of making her pretty. I like her :)


Posted by krystal507 Aug 15th 2006

omg sooooo freakin awesome!!!!!!!!! isnt exactly wut i had in mind but hey it works!!!


Posted by ottinger0980 Aug 15th 2006

Wow, for a far away, grainy picture, she looks amazing! I have a feeling that this is from the begining of the movie. It would totally make since for her to have the long, purple hair and all black ensemble if she, like the rest of the Advanced Guard, were supposed to stay low profile. I'm more than certain that when she's in her everyday wear, she'll be in more colorful fare. I can't wait for more pics to come out soon.


Posted by iheartmugglecast Aug 15th 2006

She is nothing like I imagines. I imagined short, spiky purple hair, a violet sort of shade. Now I can't imagine her how I used to! Arghh that always happens!


Posted by dreamymist Aug 15th 2006

Her hair can change, she's a metamorphmagus so it won't be like that for the whole film.


Posted by dobby_rocks Aug 15th 2006

Yes once again people Tonks did not have pink hair when she first meets Harry it is purple and she changes it when she is helping Harry gather his belongs. Yes i recall everyone who went to get Harry were wearing plain dark clothing they did want to draw attention to themselves


Posted by Hestia Aug 15th 2006

Wow, she is weird, but it loosing the spiky hair was obvious. Still, she is going to be great!:)


Posted by cool_varzz Aug 15th 2006

shes just not wat i percieved tonks 2 b.....i thot of tonks being more clumsy looking....this tonks looks elegent n a little more old...i thot her hair wld b more short...n not as straight as this in fact a bit curly...um lets wait 4 da movie mayb she shows da mannerisms just like tonks..


Posted by trevor Aug 15th 2006

I think she's wonderful - not as how I pictured her, but nevertheless, I feel she is a good pick for the role. Also, does Tonks not have the ability to change how she looks? We have only seen her for this one scene, in ONE photograph. It is likely that her looks will change throughout the film, so I feel we should not be so quick to judge. I WANT MORE PICTURES:). *overactiveharrypotterbrain comes into action* YAAHhHSUWNFOQEFN woooo, im so happy:), I must now go take some tranquilizers.


Posted by Illusions Aug 15th 2006

I think she looks fine. Goodness, people, no need to complain over things like the colour.


Posted by TherealMrsRadcliffe Aug 15th 2006

That wasn't really how i imagined her but there were a few castings in Gof i wasn't sure about, but totally changed my mind when i saw the movie, so this time i am going to give everyone a chance :)


Posted by Rommel Aug 15th 2006

She looks great!I can't wait for movie5.ITS ALMOST A YEAR AWAY.She is the kind a had thought of but she is gr8.!!!!!!


Posted by RowlingsFan Aug 15th 2006

This reminds me of the Evanna Lynch situation. I imagined Tonks very differently, with much shorter hair (more brilliant, too) ... as well as with a different outfit ... but I'm sure she'll be fine for the part.


Posted by uknowho Aug 15th 2006

hate her hair. its long! and its purple when she said in the books that she thinks she looks better in bubblegum pink!


Posted by emmad69 Aug 15th 2006

i dunno i kinda thought the purple was meant to be short but hey, its only hair right? - yes im a canon person


Posted by canes4ever63 Aug 15th 2006

Not how I pictured her either, it seems that is what everybody thinks. I also thought short hair, and spiky. OR it would be almost like a Barb Simpson style. And I also pictured her to be a bit chubby, and not as goth.


Posted by rn362 Aug 15th 2006

what's with those rags she's wearing? but still, it's awesome.


Posted by SlytherinGirlyGirl Aug 15th 2006

That's totally not how I pictured her, maybe the boots and the pants, but I was looking for like Wizarding band shirts. Oh well, it's not like she can't change her clothes-- and her apperance. I'll get over it.


Posted by mugglehp Aug 15th 2006

*Princess Luna* here! Now then.....mmmmmmmmmm? I don't know really. I imagined her to have a much softer less piercing face to be Tonks. but still no judgement...give her chance to speak!!!!!! I agree with The-Muffin-Girl...her hair isn't what I imagined either. But she has certain similarities! We need more pictures to say for definate. Love y'all lots like jelly tots and vodka shots x Natasha x
