i imagined lavender to just be brunette..and maybe a little bit tanned white girl..
but oh well. this girl here will become lavender. book-based movies cant be like the book to the tee.
cause thatd be a perfect world, wouldnt it? -

I always pictured her as a black girl, I can't exactly say if I was given this impression specifically from what was written in the books, but I get Entertainment Weekly and they pictured her as a black girl in their Goodbye Harry issue w/ a Hogwarts year book, so that kind of solidified it for me. I'm a little confused, but I can't help but enjoy anthing Harry

Lavender is never described in the book. So you can't really say she doesn't look like Lavender should because it is down to personal imagination. And I don't think she is black because there is a part in the book where it says that Ron and Lavender's arms were wrapped up in a way you couldn't tell who's were whose or something like that. If she was black it would be quite easy to tell don't you think.

That term was used to show how CLOSE TOGETHER THEY WERE and if they were wearing long sleeved shirts you might not be able to tell whose arms were whose. Besides THEY DO SAY LAVENDERS BLACK in the first book, they mention it briefly they say it when she walks by with Parvati, it's not like an in depth discription but they say she's black, when i find the exact page i'll post it.

You should definitely change the title of the thread, because what you really meant was that she doesn't look like how YOU pictured Lavender. In reality, the books never actually give a physical description of Lavender so no one's right or wrong. Jessie might look exactly how Lavender should or she could be completely off. But it doesn't matter now considering we can't do anything about it; she's already been cast.

Yes, it is just you. You say yourself "I always picture". Did you expect WB to cast according to how you pictured her? Her appearance was never described in the books, thus no one can say "that's not what Lavender looks like" or "she doesn't look right". Saying that makes you look like a moron.

yup. she doesn't really look like Lavender. I mean, the way I imagined her. I also picture her that way brunette, brown eyes and brown complexion, just like Parvati. Jessie Cave looks like the leading lady or something. I have to admit, she's really pretty. She doesn't look like the supproting actress material, more of a leading lady look.

Well, the actress might have the features I always pictured for Lavender (I thought of her with light brown hair, fairly pale, but for the most part a plain-looking girl) but i think that the actress might be just a little
too
pretty. i guess i never thought of Lav being anything special, so I assumed her appearance was rather blah as well. -

How in the world can you say that she is not how Lavender should look?! LAVENDER'S CHARACTER WAS NEVER DESCRIBED IN THE BOOKS! Am I the only one who is so sick of people complaining about Jessie? Does it really matter if you pictured Lavender differently? It is not as if WB can read the fans' minds and cast the perfect girl. Everytime a girl is cast in the movies people find one tiny little imperfection about her and cut her down! She seems extremely good for the part and she is beautiful in my opinion! Come on people, WB knows what they are doing! If they didn't you wouldn't be fans of the movies.
