Perfect Casting Part Three
Dina:
Again, it's not a prejudice. I am not saying he is a bad actor or anything. I liked him since he was "Dean" in Gilmore Gilrs. He just doesn´t look that the Harry in my mind. I am not saying he has a baby face. Young is ok for a wizard. I am saying he looks like a good kid. And Harry shouldn´t.
And I didn't get the impression Harry is becoming "wider" but all the opposite, I thought he looked very slender. Muscular yes, because he runs, do parkour and all that.
So, stop saying that without SN there is no reason not to like him. We are telling you our reasons, he doesn't look like the Harry we imagine. Of course you are free to disagree with that and think he is a very good choice. That is ok, we all have different ideas of Harry, after all. But it is not ok that you insisted in accuse people of prejudiced when you yourself accepted we have reasons here.
For me, the only thing "in favor" of him as Harry is his height. I don't believe that is enough.

the weightlifting seemed to make him a bit wider... I guess I could be contributing that to perspective.

Whoa there cowgirl, hold on. I meant no offence or slight upon your opinion. Sorry if you feel prejudice is too strong of a word. I was using it in a slightly more narrow definition than prejudice against the actor himself. but at the idea of him playing Dresden... which you do admittedly disagree with? You might say, I'm prejudice towards Jared as Dresden, because I like him as Sam(had no idea about the gilmore girls thing...)

I like him for the wild hair that I imagine SK Harry had, add a beard and loose a bit of weight and he'd have a good emaciated look, specifically because of his usually rounder face. His acting chops are either or, He might pull it off, He might not. I'd still like to see the screen audition...
*and as I mentioned above, and do swear by, literally the night before looking in on this thread I looked at my CH wallpaper and thought he looked like sam in that shot.
Dina:
Then I am probably misunderstanding you, sorry about that but you really sounded offensive to me.

oops? I'm not sure how excepting the possibility that word was keyed on in correlation to other diverse definitions, some of which were found to be offensive to be considered prejudice?
Sorry...
Dina:
It's all right, sorry I am so touchy.
