What was with the hair in Harry Potter 4?
>>219523347Didn't the films have a bunch of different directors so a bunch of different creative visions as well?
The director told all the kids to not cut their hair in the months leading up to filming, he wanted everyone with long hair. So ask Mike Newell.
that was the style of the time
deh
Films just had stuff like that back then.>yeah everyone has long hair in this one - why not, it's fun
Ron was so hilarious in these movies
>>219523347it was cool and it matched the hair of the teenagers who were growing up with these movies and actors and growing their hair out too
Whats up with the complete lack of creativity from the bots behind these threads?
Spitroasting Ron
>>219523347Harry is described as having long hair all the time in the books, in fact, it was weird that he had shorter hair in OOTP since that goes against the book's description of him
The franchise became embarrassed of itself and turned from warm color graded spiritual '90s fantasy children's entertainment into YA genre fare outfitted by Old Navy that was becoming all the rage at the time, desperately trying to seem cool to the kids that were part of that Harry Potter mania in 2001 but had since grown up into fussy self-conscious teens. The box office was in a slump by Prisoner of Azkaban in 2004, so they were clearly trying to pull out and connect with trends.
>>219524623there is a long history of psyops intended to eradicate creativity.
>>219523347It's an old movie and it was fashionable at the time of release.
>>219526708Long hair was indeed fashionable when I was in high school watching these but isn't it always? I know about the broccoli thing but there's always going to be guys with shorter haircuts. The long hair must still exist.
Here's that high school kid I was telling you about.
>>219523347I know, in the books, Harry's hair is supposed to be messy and stuck up at odd angles. Maybe that's what they were going for. But it ended up looking like some weird mane
>>219523347When you're 14-15 your mom or dad usually stops taking you to the barber and you're not grown up enough to get your hair cut yourself. That's my theory. I had long hair from 4th grade until I was 28, but at least half the guys in my school had long hair in 8th and 9th grade.
>>219523347Literally the style at the time, teenage girls loved this shit and they wanted to appeal to them
>>219526892I feel like long hair was more popular back in the day when boomer barbers would usually fuck up whatever shorter haircut you got and growing it out was kind of a set it and forget it solution no matter how it was originally cut. That was a big motivating factor was not wanting to get stuck looking like a dork elementary schooler for a few months yet again. Shorter more deliberate cuts have gotten way more popular lately with the wide availability of stylist content creators to demonstrate what you want and the ease of finding a local stylist who knows what they're doing with some sort of reference on your phone. Most guys I can think of with longer hair are usually older like MoistCr1TiKaL or Jamie Campbell Bower, only occasionally on the younger side like Percy Hynes White. There's actually been a huge resurgence of '80s and '90s style hair with gen alpha after the zoomer broccoli hair and fades became passe.
>>219524662>free flightiosa
>>219523347I had hair at that length or even slightly longer in my early/mid teens, but it looked way shittier. but I also only started using conditioner at 20 or something

>>219524415piss off
>>219523512This is correct, and to add, the goal wasn't for them to all have long hair. It was to give them options when styling but somebody missed a memo or something and they started filming without anyone getting a cut. That's really what happened. As a young metal head I was psyched to see the guys grow it out.,
Aunt Petunia looks kinda cute in the 5th movie
>>219531882>>219527163>>long hair from 4th grade until I was 28>>only started using conditioner at 20 or somethingparentless behavior
>>219523347It was a popular hairstyle in Britain in the mid-2000s, I know I had hair similar to Radcliffe's in 'Azkaban' for a bit

>>219537379>It was a popular hairstyle in Britain in the mid-2000s, I know I had hair similar to Radcliffe's in 'Azkaban' for a bit
>>219523347Isn't there a story how the director asked them to grow it long because it was fashionable at the time but by the time the film was shot, edited, marketed and finally released, it was no longer in fashion
>>219537101Yesh, I was like dayum when I watched it
Harry Potter was set in the 90's and back then 70's fashion was a trend. Remember when people used to wear bell bottom in the 90's? Remember the Brady Bunch movies? Remember That 70's Show?
>>219537496this unironically looks like my dad tbf
>>219523347Back then it didn’t mean you were trans
>>219537485what if young Snape had been interested in Petunia instead of Lily?

I see biological woman in a cute summer dress, I get boner. Simples. I guarantee you're the type to overanalyze everything and suffer from anxiety-driven erectile dysfunction.
>>219537675she has nice legs you weird creep
>>219537675The fact that it's an old ugly lady dressing like that is what makes it hot
Medium to long hair on guys was the style in the 2000s. We didn’t style it just let it grow out and get it trimmed every other month. It was especially popular with skateboarders and music people. Then that hideous undercut/hitler youth took over in like 2011 and it’s taking forever to go away. Can’t wait for 2000s throwback when guys finally grow out the sides of their hair again
>>219525259Half way through they were like we want to Twilight audience. Fucking retards
>>219537379>It was a popular hairstyle in Britain in the mid-2000sit's a timeless hairstyle, my dad was rocking that back in the 70s
>>219537672How people were ever psyop'd into thinking covering ears was a good look I can't even begin to understand
>>219527029dave franco makes a joke about him looking like a 40 year old man later in the movie, i dont take this one too serious
>>219523347>I will grow my hair out for a year because it's one of the few ways I'm able to express myself as a 14 year old kidthey really do be like that
>>219523347I thought this was some sort of showing how kids all follow stupid hair trends like even wizards do it.
>>219537831>I see biological woman in a cute summer dress, I get boner.>I have no sense of discernment and I'm easily duped!Yes, that was his accusation. Retard.
>>219527982>when boomer barbers would usually fuck up whatever shorter haircutI had one bad haircut and seethed so hard that I didn't cut my hair for a couple years. The streak was broken when I held the door for some old man and he said 'thank you miss.' Decided short hair may be better.
>>219527163So you were 28 when you felt grown up enough to go to the barber?
>>219533091Phoenix is mid and Hallows is easily the worst fucking book.
It was the style at the time
Since Hermione already had long hair, Emma decided to join in by letting her bush go out of control instead
>>219527163You didn't go to a barber until you were almost 30?
>>219540218He was a late bloomer
>>219523492>Didn't the films have a bunch of different directorsyeah, the only good ones were the David Yates ones which had a much darker tone.he did Order of the Phoenix, Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.Colombus doing the first 2 being more full of childlike wonder were appropriate given the ages, but the next 2 directors didn't really do anything great.
>>219539614>dave francowouldn't he have been like 30 during the filming?
>>219523347It was 2004/2005 when they filmed it, that was the style for teens at the time. >>219541207>the only good ones were the David Yates onesHoly fuck, imagine having such abysmal shit taste. Slop eaters like you ought to be executed.
>>219541567>It was 2004/2005 when they filmed it,The Harry Potter movies took place in the 90s
>>219539895>imagine seething this much because someone gets boners more easily than youGrim. Stop watching so much pornography, anons.
>>219542092Not the movies
>>219526708They were aping Revenge of the Sith Anakin
>>219541567>imagine having such abysmal shit tastepedo enjoys shitty child actors and light-hearted story about gay wizards
>>219542697>aping Revenge of the Sith Anakinbut...why?
>>219524727I kinda wish the movies didn't skate over how impoverished and abused Harry was. He already suffers from being too perfect as it is. The books do a better job of selling him as disheveled and unhealthy looking (obviously still attractive). And all his clothes being unfashionable worn in and too big for him. I think the first movie did that but after that they just made them all dress like actual private boarding school kids. And outside of school he dresses no different from any other kid his age.And the new series isn't going in that direction either. Kind of lame
>>219537496Fancy a shag luv
>>219526892>The long hair must still existfrom what I've seen this type of medium length cut is pretty popular these days
>>219538898mullets are back already
>>219543841>And the new series isn't going in that direction either.Are you sure? Wasn't there promotional material that suggested otherwise?>>219543971lol
>>219544038>>219538898>2020s genre of man
>>219544063I just saw the standard hogawarts uniforms from the old movies.
First movie made me really want those sweaters Harry has. They looked so comfy and rich. I wish I had family that knitted me sweaters with my initial
>>219542868grimdark teen drama is much more embarrassing than light fantasy
>>219527163>>219531882Same...>>219537185No but I suspect Autism or ADHD myself...I regularly go to the barber and do skincare now. Something everyone else "just does" I have to plan out and think about for a long time.>>219537496Yea same in Sweden in 2005Holy fucking zoomers on this fucking site
>>219525259I didn't like it once they became horror films.
Feels like it's always been a pretty standard thing when kids age through a series or films to have a long-hair/shaggy phase on the boys. Should have kept Ron's hair long up to the 7th movie and had him cut it before Bill's wedding or something thematic. I guess that's tough if you need to do pick-ups from early in the movie though.
>>219525259Rewatched HPB awhile ago and that shit looked black and white from time to time. It's completely washed out.
>>219544513>Something everyone else "just does" I have to plan out and think about for a long time.
>>219524415He was 1000 times funnier and cooler in the books, easily the best character. Movie Ron is just okay
>>219544513>Yea same in Sweden in 2005>Holy fucking zoomers on this fucking siteI'm not a zoomer, Swedefag. I was pointing out a humorous example. Inbetweeners is 2008-2010 and Jay still maintaining a shittier version of a mid-2000s haircut is part of why his character is a loser.

>>219523347They were trying to be hip. They even put a gay ass band in the movie during the ball scene.

>>219541207lmao nice
>>219546356Forgot how cringe this was even at the time (and I was 10).Of all the hack directors they hired for HP, I think Newell understood it the absolute least.
>>219537496FRIEND
>>219541190What was this weird scene where they're all in the Great Hall for some reason and Snape is just hitting them with a book for talking? Why are they not in their Common Rooms?

when they start openly referring to harry as 'the chosen one' i had to stop watching these movies
>>219523347At the time the movie came out, it was kinda the style. So not correct for a movie set in the 90s, but for the mid 2000s it was spot on.
>>219550382Fucking lmao
>>219545864More capable, useful and knowledgeable, always cracking funny jokes and pranks, 99% of which were removed from the films. Also a total jock brad in the later books
>>219537101Why did Harry have a Jewish aunt?Also to answer OP question, it was just 2005 default hairstyle. Everyone had this hairstyle around that time.
>>219547567>This is realisticYou're handwaving more than JK does with magic. The one-drop rule doesn't mean they can't have more terms to describe less-than-pureblood witches and wizards.
>>219547649>Of all the hack directors they hired for HP, I think Newell understood it the absolute least.He didn't even bother to read it or try to understand it. Fuck that guy.
>>219548821
>>219552617>Why did Harry have a Jewish aunt?Neither the actress Fiona Shaw nor the character Petunia Dursley née Evans are Jewish, /pol/brain
>>219547649>>219553043>Of all the hack directors they hired for HP, I think Newell understood it the absolute least.Oh definitely, 21 years later and I can still recall the rage I felt when I saw Goblet of Fire in the theater. The only well-adapted part is the Yule Ball, everything else was utterly ruined and shat upon. I might have enjoyed it more if I hadn't re-read the book just before it came out, but holy shit it was bad. The way the beginning of the film omits the Dursleys and the Quidditch World Cup, At the time I thought maybe the projectionist fucked up and skipped those scenes or there was something wrong with their print lol
>>219553538>At the time I thought maybe the projectionist fucked up and skipped those scenes or there was something wrong with their print lolThat happened to me once too. I think it was an early Fast & Furious movie. Someone either got shot or crashed or something and it suddenly went black. It took us a second to release it wasn't part of the movie, but rather than projection fucked up.
>>219523347for me it's how clean Harry and Ron look all the time when they are regularly fucked dressed if memory serves throughout the books
>>219544098why the fuck are all these dirtbag lookin niggas growing mustaches
>>219554629How do you win in this situation?
>>219525259Half-Blood Prince is in contention for ugliest looking movie of all time. It's disgusting.
>>219523347Lord of the Rings spearheaded this fashion
>>219553043>>219553538Crazily enough though he actually made a watchable movie on his talent alone, GoF is perfectly acceptable if you didn't read the books, and it's fun to watch and has good filmic sense. Unlike Yates who had a better feel for the world but has not one ounce of directing skill in his body.

>>219523347Indie hipster NME faggotry, Kasabian, and Pete Doherty were considered peak UK cool during this time period of Goblet of Fire
Dunno if anyone mentioned it but they were told to grow their hair out between movies so that they could then style it however they wanted when it came time to shooting, but the director just liked the long hair and had them keep it
