Maybe the reason she was never described is because Lavender, in the words of Oscar Wilde, had "one of those characteristic British faces, that, once seen are never remembered", that she was plain/normal-looking enough that she wasn't worth describing.

I agree with you, Obsessed0503 But calm down!! I didn't know anyone could get so stressed by reading Lavender complaints!! XD

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.
~I bet she's tougher than that she runs with vampires~ Proud Twilight and Harry Potter fan!

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.

I always thought she had a light purple, or lavender, skin color with brunette, or brown hair.

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.

personally i pictured lavender as a very pretty blonde girl.
i think jessie fits the part perfectly.

When i read the book i pictured her as a short Light skinned black girl with braids, its kinda ruined it for me.Im sorry but how many white, blonde girls do u know called Lavender Brown?.Its 238the truth lol

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.

I always pictured Lavender as Chris Columbus' daughter, the one who plays Susan Bones in the first and second movies. Maybe I should have read the first book before watched the first movie.

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.

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 have bewitched me, body and soul and I love, I love, I love you."

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.

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

She's nothing like I imagined Lavender. But that's pretty much the case with every new actor in Potter movies, they NEVER look like what I've imagined.

i kno i pictured her like that too~!!! I dont think she will do a great job grr why her?!?1

she doesn't look like lavender should to me at all.
OFFICIAL BLEEDER

i always imagined her to be a brunette and kinda tanned girl
well there's always hair dye
i just hope she can really act

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?

Who cares what she looks like. Shes hot and can act! That all that matters.

I always thought of L. Brown as not very brightJessie is a bit too attractive and her style is a bit "street."

Doesn't Rowling specify that Lavender is black?
I'm Rick James, bitch!!!!

It doesn't matter anyway as long as she is good on screenpeople will find all sort of things to compalin about.

I always thought LavLav was black. . . but I think my mind was just using the Lavender from Matilda to fill the gap, haha.
