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 ;-)

In regards to the previously mention epilogue photos, (and God, poor Draco! He must have had it rough after the war!) I'm 52 and look younger than they do, even with my un-enhanced quite naturally greying hair! Have those people never met a man who DIDN'T have a receding hairline?

And small children with colds should not be allowed to embrace the unsuspecting. Just saying.

They should be quarantined! And let out only when clean and adorable! First sign of snot or tantrum, back in they go!

Yes, even Brad Pitt looks younger than those boys, and he's had a genuinely hard life!
