Ever so briefly ...

I am overworked to buggery and have a vile cold to go with it (damn you huggy snotty toddlers!), so am behind in every aspect of my life save comfort knitting (the healthier, more productive version of comfort eating), but I would like to say that there is one good thing about the otherwise awful Epilogue photos that are emerging from the Deathly Hallows set (here via the gorgeous Anna).

For all of us on the upper side of 37, they make us look fucking brilliant. I'm 43 and I look at least 10 years younger than that lot, even with a headful of snot. Really, like their appallingly ancient twentysomething James and Lily snr choices, I think it's the film designers' way of making the older set engage with the films. And walk away thinking 'You know, even without Botox, I'm not doing that badly!' Must dash, my comparatively ageless face needs to be at work ;-)

I have to remind myself that early 30s = Jensen Ackles, Ryan Reynolds etc. and 40s= RDJ (nuff said) so this makes me just facepalm at the fail D: D:

It reminds me how I constantly boggle at the thought of teenage!vampires >_>

I KNOW!!

Richard Armitage is 39. Rupert Penry-Jones is, too (as a side note, can I mention that if they had swapped those two in to play Harry and Draco, I may have actually died of joy. Or lust. Joyful lust.) David Tennant is also 39, John Barrowman is 43 (a wee bit younger than me, damn him!) and Hugh Jackman 40.

Perhaps we are meant to believe that parenthood will suck the joy and life from your very being, which is not, I think, the message JKR was trying to convey.

Richard Armitage! *sigh* I still can't believe they didn't cast him as Sirius. Actually, most Warner cast choices are not quite brilliant. Oh, Hollywood, you exist for the LOL factor.

Let's wait for a BBC Harry Potter series, shall we? (Imagine Armitage as Snape and Tennant as Lupin, for instance. *g*)
