The first ever photograph of Natalia Tena sporting purple hair and in full Nymphadora Tonks costume has surfaced online. The picture, which was taken on the set of the fifth movie, can be seen here.

Thanks to Stephanie for sending it in!

forgive me all of you who love the way she looks but i don't find her attractive at all. i guess you can't really judge from this pic but i think all of you who say she's pretty are just wishfully thinking.


Posted by RavenclawWitch Aug 15th 2006

I know that you can't see her face all that well, but I think she looks good. Not how I imagined her, but she looks cool nevertheless.


Posted by Nameless Aug 15th 2006

She look nothing like the Tonks I imagined...but whatever.


Posted by BooRadley Aug 15th 2006

I saw Tena in Mrs. Henderson Presents and I like her very much. As far as Tonks's overall appearance goes, it's in the spirt of the character, so I'm happy; purplehair!Tonks won't ruin the movie for me. :-) The only complaint I have is that her hair looks more like a bad '80s wig than actual hair, but it's important to note that the pic is just a candid snapshot. It will probably look better on screen.


Posted by jkgirl Aug 15th 2006

She looks older and kinda of ragged but I see the reseblence of Tonks. She is not bad but anyway I am sure it will be better in context.


Posted by Carol61 Aug 15th 2006

Well, she really isn't how I'd pictured her, but assuming she changes her looks occasionally throughout the movie so that the concept is canon even if the actual "looks" aren't exactly, I can live with it. I mean, we accepted Hermione in a pink dress rather than periwinkle robes for the Yule Ball, Aunt Petunia as a brunette rather than a blonde, and Harry with gorgeous blue/grey eyes rather than brilliant emerald eyes, right?


Posted by GreenEyes Aug 15th 2006

I dont like her at all


Posted by performingmonkey Aug 15th 2006

Anyone who's seen her in anything else, particularly 'About A Boy', knows that she's 100% right for the role. Something else struck me - maybe they want her to look like Bellatrix and Sirius, or at least let us know that they're related. She could definitely pass as Helena Bonham Carter's niece.


Posted by tonks_394 Aug 15th 2006

I hate her! She doesn't look anything like I imagined her!


Posted by Moo_ness Aug 15th 2006

I won't say I am happy. She just doesn't look Tonk-y enuff! *wails*


Posted by Firebolt_Rider Aug 15th 2006

I think she looks great for the role! How young was everyone expecting her to be anyway- this actress is only like 22 or something- hardly old! I can't wait to see all of her looks in the film.


Posted by Julied112 Aug 15th 2006

Ooo! She looks fairly close to how I pictured her, except I want the pink hair! But, cant make any judgements until I see her in action.....goign to be good! Sigh, what is it 331 more days until the movie comes out


Posted by nightrider Aug 15th 2006

some of you mentioned that she is too old, but remember she falls for "someone" that looks older so it would be odd of she was too young looking.


Posted by Lynn Aug 15th 2006

Oh please,stop whining! She look's brilliant for the part,can't wait;)


Posted by Brendaisrupertsgurl Aug 15th 2006

She's Pretty!!!! i love it!!!! i love her hair and although i imagined short, it still very well done!!! Pretty good... she's gorgeous and i think that Remus Deserves someone that beautiful!!!! i love it!!!! The only thing that sort of bugs me is the fact that her hair isn't short but that's a minor technicality... it's ok... no big deal!!!! i really do love it.


Posted by Chudleycannon Aug 15th 2006

She looks really good but the hair needs to be short and spikey. That's the only flaw


Posted by MagdaleneRose Aug 15th 2006

OMG!!!!! I absolutly LOVE her!! She is just how I pictured Tonks. And even though her hair isn't pink and it's long, Purple suits TONKS well too!! And besides, perhaps this isn't the only way her hair will be throughout the movie... she is fantastic!! she has my Approval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by laughingeyes927 Aug 15th 2006

She doesn't really look at all like what I imagined, but she's just as good! I wish she had the pink spiky hair, but whatever. Her clothes are exactly what I imagined...I think she's pretty much perfect. YAY! I'm so excited for the film. :)


Posted by kaitlyn_231_ Aug 15th 2006

Well her hair does'nt look like I imagined her hair to look like . I kind of thought she would have shorter and more spiky hair. But other than that she looks great!!!!


Posted by HadasBT Aug 15th 2006

She's so funny as Ellie in About A Boy! I think she's gonna e awesome as Tonks. And she looks good. Not what we know from the pictures but still good, at first we all thought she was a boy remember (in the picture of OOTP)? Anyways YAY!


Posted by xXSophieXx Aug 15th 2006

erm thats different, not how i imagined her, a bit to punk/rock for me... its just got me thinking about HBP with her and Lupin, very hard to picture them together lol... but ill not try judge so much untill we've seen her more, maybe they'll have a scene with her pink hair r something, that would look better... she'll do anyway.


Posted by MaryEmmaGinny Aug 15th 2006

OOOOH; SHE LOOKS SO STUPID! IS THIS BUBBLEGUM PINK???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


Posted by Shado Aug 15th 2006

Great, Tonks looks totally awesome, though I did like the short, spiky, bubble gum pink hair better. I just hope the actress can really play the part. *^*Tonks and Lupin Forever*^*


Posted by fen Aug 15th 2006

I actually like it! I think she looks devishly good. And remember, she sports different hair throughout the book, so maybe you'll get your bubblegum pink short spikey hair


Posted by ba_ba_ba_ba_baloney Aug 15th 2006

I imagined her with shorter, spikey hair....but she's still really pretty. I can see why Lupin ends up liking her. :) And I wanna buy her outfit.....


Posted by ziraili7 Aug 15th 2006

wow, did any of you remember that tonks can change her looks?!?! gee, this is one picture, maybe (just maybe) they will have her looking different in other scenes since she is a metamorphmagus! And, while her hair was spikey, when harry first meets her, her hair is "a violent shade of violet." Last I knew, violet is a shade of purple. sheesh, give it a rest already, one picture of her and you're all freaking out.


Posted by Lizzie355 Aug 15th 2006

it was the exact shade that i thought it would be...a little long, yes, but she looks EXACTLY as i imagined her otherwise. wow...


Posted by Kali Aug 15th 2006

I'm quite sure her hair will be pink at some point in the movie, because that is what it's described as at first... But she changes her looks constantly. I'm quite sure her hair was violet at one point. And I doubt she keeps it short all the time either... Don't worry - they'll get it right at one point, I hope.


Posted by Tonks_Lupin17 Aug 15th 2006

Good job to everyone else who remembered (I didn't read all the comments), but Tonks' hair WAS purple in the beginning of the book. "Oooh, he looks just like I thought he would," said the witch who was holding her lit wand aloft. She looked the youngest there; she had a pale heart-shaped face, dark twinkling eyes, and short spiky hair that was a violent shade of violet. 'Wotcher, Harry!'" Then Tonks and Harry go up to his room, Tonks says purple's not her color, and changes it to pink.


Posted by emmad69 Aug 15th 2006

she looks ok, but in saying that, thats just a random shot, im sure when she is in a still in the scene properly it will look better


Posted by Harrysgirl21 Aug 15th 2006

Not exactly as I pictured her, but still interesting. I thought Tonks' hair was short and spiky?


Posted by Aleu152006 Aug 15th 2006

I sorta pictured her with shorter hair, but she still looks nice though...yea!


Posted by mipf Aug 15th 2006

hmmm, I always imagined her with short spikey hair, oh well, at least she can change!lol! Love that hair though, I want it!!


Posted by FlippingTonks Aug 15th 2006

I didn't picture her like that at all. Where are the patched jeans and the SHORT spikey hair. I picturd her hair like mAdam Hooch's hair. Oh Well...


Posted by dance1758 Aug 15th 2006

Definitly not what I pictured, but if she's a good actress then it won't matter.


Posted by ShinGonWoo_Kimiko Aug 15th 2006

Wow , that's not at all i thought that tonks would look like , I imagened something wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy different. And the hair is kinda what i imagened........ no not really!!!!!! But still the movies still gona be awesome!! i might bet to fly to london to see it!!!!


Posted by lottieeeee Aug 15th 2006

Thats not how i pictured Tonks to be at all. I thought she would have blue hair that is short and spikey. ....i guess that she does change alot of her appearance anyways


Posted by Ethel Aug 15th 2006

In my opinion, the made a good choice.


Posted by Kaammini Aug 15th 2006

Not how I imagined her.


Posted by Deppified Aug 15th 2006

OMG OMG OMG !!!!!! bloody heeellll !!!! I love Natalia Tena as Tonks ,, she is a exellent choice !!!!! But it's not perfect though ,, I figured her hair more shorter and BUBBLEGUMPINK !! wellwell .. :D:D:D yea, it's only one picture ... anyway, I have seen her in other films, and her face is PERFECT. This is so EXITING !!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna jump around in the house now and call everybody I know ....... !!! great clothes though.:)


Posted by ConCon Aug 15th 2006

she's ok, but not perfectly as i imagined. In OotP, there's a pic on one of the covers. That's what i go by. there she has her short spiky hair. nice to have a pic though!


Posted by ellopoppet7hp Aug 15th 2006

Gosh! That's not what I pictured Tonks to look like at all! I always thought she would look like Madame Hooch from the Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone movie, but with colored hair. I mean doesn't it say in OOTP (American Edition) Pg. 47 in the middle of the page:


Posted by KikiPotter Aug 15th 2006

Yep!! That's our Tonks!!!! (I love the hair!) ;)


Posted by silverlala Aug 15th 2006

Wishfully thinking?! Whatever, I think she is cute and she'll be a wonderful Tonks...I think each of us has their opinions on what their Tonks looks like and we have the right to say what we think i.e. that by viewing that picture we can call her cute, pretty and perfect for the part...you have your thoughts and you state those as those who like this woman being Tonks...


Posted by smurff Aug 15th 2006

I don't know if it's just the facial expression, but she looks too old to me. Other than that (and her hair being too long), looking good!

Posted by Micino Aug 15th 2006

I love it! Especially her outfit, very trendy. Although, I DO wish she had her bubblegum pink hair, but I guess that will come later...hopefully


Posted by bridgetmalfoy Aug 15th 2006

Well, I kind of always imagined Tonks with SHORT hair...but long hair does not look that bad really for Tonks. I was so, so...HAPPY when I found out Mugglenet had a picture of Tonks to show all the HP fans! Well, not I can't wait to see her in the movie. :)


Posted by Amar Aug 15th 2006

LOVE IT!


Posted by Lindso Aug 15th 2006

I'm going to go against the crowd and say she looks okay... exactly how you can picture someone who can change her appearance at will i dont know lol. It could be worse...
