I think she looks awesome.... not the way I pictured her but I think she matches the looks like in the book... and the colour of the hair and length dont matter because alot of the characters in the movies dont look exactly how they are described in the book .... I cant wait to see how she acts in this role.... I hope she does well!!!!!!!!

She looks...not exactly as I imagined...but still great! I just wish her hair was shorter and spiky as it was in Book 5.


Posted by dobbyroxmysox Aug 15th 2006

ummmm....ewwww her hair looks FAKE!!!!it looks like she has a wig on thats not the way i pictured her at all...and her outfit is FUGLY!!


Posted by skates Aug 15th 2006

She looks fantastic! That's definetely not how I pictured her. I kind of pictured her with Jamie Lee Curtis spiky hair like in " Freaky Friday". Oh well, she looks fab! Can't wait for the movie! Hp rocks my world!!!!


Posted by DarthWhitness Aug 15th 2006

Neat! I wish I had purple hair...


Posted by Belsito Aug 15th 2006

Oh! She's the perfect Tonks. Her hair is not always short, spikey and bubblegum pink - READ THE BOOKS PROPERLY - It was even waist-length at one point and it was definitely not always bubblegum pink. She looks playful and bubbly but dependable and kind all at the same time. AND she'll be perfect to become Lupin's wife too - he desperately needs someone to cheer him up and make up for all the loneliness and unhappiness he has suffered all his life.... jelousy creeping in ..... oh, she's horrible .....she's .....


Posted by Rutu Aug 15th 2006

hmmm...........not how I imagined..........but okay...........the hair looked a bit soft for Tonks though........dunno.........


Posted by Aurora322 Aug 15th 2006

Not a horrible casting pick but come on since when would Tonks sport an Jennifer Aniston Hair do. I know it was suppoused to be in the nineties and that was the huge hair craze but please that is ridiculous. I really hope they have her with the sort pink spiky hair most of the time


Posted by h3art0f1nk Aug 15th 2006

I'm sorry, but what happened to the short hair? Oh well. . . .


Posted by Okirun Aug 15th 2006

Cute! XD Wow, she looks perfect. :D She's got that sorta.. punkish face type, if that's even a thing you can have.


Posted by Okirun Aug 15th 2006

WTF, good job chopping my comment in half. O: We can't use enter?; Nyoooo.. oh well. *goes to draw Tonks fanart.


Posted by Araylis Aug 15th 2006

LOVE the hair!


Posted by SlothGripRoll Aug 15th 2006

Let's assume the pic was taken on the Privet Drive location: First, that might be Tonks' appearance before she visits Harry's bedroom and morphs for the first time. Does JoRo articulate the look of her hair beforehand? Second, she's supposed to be a 22-year-old Auror! Don't you think she might dress kind of funky? You know, flying in the face of the establishment and all that? Third, Tonks is sort of the antithesis of Hermione, and the filmmakers are going to dress her so. Jeez, I can't wait until the first Luna-in-costume picture makes the rounds -- that'll be a real galestorm! ;-)


Posted by Kayleigh Aug 15th 2006

hmm..I pictured her hair to be a bit more spikey, but who cares. Awesome pic.


Posted by chicoli Aug 15th 2006

wow she is very pretty .


Posted by xebata Aug 15th 2006

i guess i was expecting the short pink hair... but no matter, i'll bet she changes lots throughout the movie!! yay tonks!!


Posted by silvageko Aug 15th 2006

i always pictured tonks with short spikey hair and a more larger figure than that,but im not complaining,she looks very tasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by Fluffy Aug 15th 2006

Not exactly what I imagined... but still, she looks great, I know she'll make a great Tonks!! Can't wait to see how she "morphs"


Posted by sirusstar Aug 15th 2006

Thats not how I pictured her AT ALL!!! I think I thought of her as shorter or somthing.


Posted by Rina Aug 15th 2006

Punk!Tonks. Mhmm.


Posted by lupinlover93 Aug 15th 2006

um... i don't like this picture that much... TOTALLY different than i imagined! and i want to see her in the short, spikey, bubblegum pink hair! but this is different than i imagined, but oh well.


Posted by Leoseeker09 Aug 15th 2006

I dont think she is a good choice for the role.She doesnt look like what she was supposed to look like but whatever.We wont really know untill the movie or trailers come out.Personally in thinking about not seein this movie.So far it looks like it will be as dissapointing as Goblet of Fire was,but I really hope not.


Posted by Dancer_1021 Aug 15th 2006

wow! tonks! not exactly how i pictured her..lol.=]


Posted by Acromantula Aug 15th 2006

Wow... She looks simply Amazing! I hope they change her hair around a lot, but I have to say I think she looks great. I always liked Tonks from the books, now I think I'm in love!


Posted by ChadeBrain Aug 15th 2006

Geez people calm down its one image of her, her hair will probably change!! And just because its not how you imagined it doesnt mean its not how JK imagined it or the directer imgained it, they know more about her that you do. Im having a Professor Trewlany moment- Broadin Your Mind!! Give her a chance! By the way I have no idea how to spell broadin...


Posted by xProfessorx Aug 15th 2006

WTF?! EW! I NEVER pictured her like that! ICKY!!! Ugh...and I was looking forward to Tonks! DAMN! Well............................I suppose it's ok...but they make her look so old, I mean, isn't she supposed to be really young-looking? She IS young, after all. Oh dear...I certainly hope they take better pictures of her or something, because I am not very pleased with this one....=( *shrug*


Posted by Belsito Aug 16th 2006

Actually, the first time we meet Tonks, her hair is violet, short and spikey. She's so lucky in that she can change her hair length and colour at will. Most of us have to wait months and years to grow it long and have to wait at least 4 weeks to change its colour (and very few of us dare experiment with such shocking colours). Personally I wasn't too keen on her bubblegum pink hair. Also she did wear her hair long sometimes. People are complaining that she doesn't look like what they imagined her to be. Well, we ALL have different ideas of what every character looks like but HOW ON EARTH CAN THEY FIND AN ACTOR/ACTRESS WHICH WOULD SATISFY ALL OUR IMAGINATIONS! I really wish people would be reasonable once in a while.


Posted by collinbb2 Aug 16th 2006

She looks fine the way she is! She looks sorta gothic and punkish. Just the way I imagined her! She looks quite shmexy the way she is so I'm happy! :D


Posted by mistyrain Aug 16th 2006

Oh I really hope they don't mess up Tonks - she is one of my absolute favorite characters in the books!!!


Posted by Aile Aug 16th 2006

She looks absolutely horrible. First, the long hair? And I know it's violet before she helps Harry pack, so that's at least one good point. And she looks WAY too old to be Tonks, and too poise from what I see. Honestly. Fire your casters!!!


Posted by DumbledoresGurlThruandThru Aug 16th 2006

wow thats so cool!! I absolutely love her...except that she doesn't have the proper short spiky hair!! she does have purple hair at the beginning, but changes it to pink because she thinks it makes her look "peaky". I CANT WAIT!!


Posted by lil_Tonks Aug 16th 2006

TONKS ROX MY SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! (Check user name:^)


Posted by vigilance06 Aug 16th 2006

Oh you guys, it's just a picture! Until we see actual clips from the movie, how can we tell if she's right for the part? In my opinion, she looks exactly how I imagined. =]


Posted by Chris_04 Aug 16th 2006

Bummer, that's nothing like I had pictured . At all. Her hair was supposed to be more of a lavendar, and way shorter. And her face isn't as childlike and lifelike as I imagined. But whatever. *sighs*


Posted by MuggleMage Aug 16th 2006

I'm not concerned about her appearance in only one picture since Tonks changes how she looks all the time. I just hope they make sure she acts like Tonks: clumsy, happy, young and not very serious.


Posted by halfbloodprince2006 Aug 16th 2006

She's not what i expected. I mean, she's ok, but the hair is what i mostly dislike about her. She needs her spiky hair. Tonks' hair was not shoulder-length like her's was...


Posted by Brooke1125 Aug 16th 2006

WOW!!!!! i think that she looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as for the purple hair haters..................wake up and smell the coffee or read ootp. when she first meets harry her hair is purple then she changes it to green and then she changes it to bubblegum pink. you can't tell by 1 pic of her. *takes deep breath and decides that she has said too much*


Posted by grednforge Aug 16th 2006

her hair is a great color, but it needs to be shorter, like it was in the book. I love her outfit, though!


Posted by soccerluver13 Aug 16th 2006

OMG! I love her! Not exactly how I imagined her but pretty close. I'll go die from excitement now...


Posted by collinbb2 Aug 16th 2006

Yay! A shmexy goth chick finally in a Harry Potter movie! WOOO!!


Posted by ginnyluvr Aug 16th 2006

i tink tonks looks so cool


Posted by Dan_Loves_Me Aug 16th 2006

Yeah, she doesn't look like I'd imagined, but she's okay.


Posted by arabesque Aug 16th 2006

She makes a very wonderful Tonks!


Posted by hermy91 Aug 16th 2006

ok well i imagined her totally different. i thought she was going to be shorter, her hair shorter. softer face and i imagined her in more comfy clothes than what she is wearing. but oh well. i always love the movies so lets just hope she makes a good tonks.


Posted by yues_woman Aug 16th 2006

PRAISE THE LORD!!! WB DID GOOD!! She looks REALLY good, but I wonder if that will be her look throughout the whole film or just when she first appears with the violet hair...


Posted by Binka Aug 17th 2006

Wow!It's like they went into my brain and saw how I've pictured her!She exactly the same as in my head!This is so freaky!Tonks is cool!I love her!!


Posted by radical_dreamer Aug 17th 2006

Actually, she's a metamorpha-- something. So this could just be one of her many metamphory thing. You know what I'm saying? She actually looks very entergitic like her character and very exciting. I think it's a very good choice for Tonks. Welp! Can't critizie until I see the movie. Can I?

Posted by wandaXmaximoff Aug 17th 2006

Kind of not what I imagined from the books, but I still love how she looks. Remember, this is only a first picture nand not every chracter looks like they should according to the books (Emma's blonde hair or Dan's blue eyes, anyone?). I think she looks really good for the part of Tonks (I love the outfit), and hopfully she'll play the character well. When I see the film and see how she acts, then I'll pass judgement. Because honestly, it doesn't matter if she looks 100% like how people imagined her, if she doesn't act like Tonks, it's pointless.
