i think the people your confusing her with are the patil twins. dont worry i did the excat same thing.

There was a character with no lines that was in the background of several scenes in PoA that was given Lavender's name; at that point HBP wasn't out yet and Lavender wasn't an important character, so they just kind of gave someone her name.

Wait, was Lavendar Brown even in any of the movies? If so, I they never really mention her or anythingI always imagined Lavendar as having blond hair.

lol yeaaah, too many pages to pinpoint a description!!

I'm glad to see someone else agrees that it's just a figure of speech referring to the business of the hands and less about the color of the skin. I was starting to think I might be wrong about that.

Bothering to check the books?
I think when we're discussing a body of work comprised of 7 books and maybe 5000 pages of text, we can accept "pretty sure."
Additionally, I believe the comment about Harry being unable to tell whose hands they were was more to do with the ferventness of the action and less to do with the color of their skin. Like the phrase "where one ends and the other begins."

Do you just find topic subjects and post on them without reading the rest of the posts?
If you had bothered, you wouldn't be looking like an a-hole right now.
Nobody forced you to discuss the topic at all, so therefore, nobody cares about how sick you are with it.

The book
DOESN'T
say so!! Don't say that you're 'pretty sure' about that without bothering to check the books first!! The filmmakers made a mistake. They had a lot of extras and thought it good to give them randomly some of the characters of the book, but had they known that Lavender was to become Ron's girlfriend in book six, they would have bothered to ask Jo about her. sigh I'm so sick of discussing this topic!!

Lavenda is never mentioned as black in the BOOK. it is clear that since in PoA lavenda didn't even has any line, the makers just want to have more black in the movies, eg that nigel kid explains everything is PoA. marketing strategy is my guess and it is not uncommon.

Yeah. Parvati and Padma Patil are specifically mentioned to be Indian, Angelina Johnson to be black, and Lavender's the white, english girl.

she's never said to be white either.

its okay op. for some reason i had always pictured her to be black as well.

listen i feel like i saw lavender in the first movie, and i saw she was black, so if it was a mistake then its a mistake, don't get an attidue with the girl for stating what she thought.

Lavender is in Gryffindor, yes.

that picture is a girl in a Gryffindor uniform Lavender Brown isn't in Gryffindor, is she?

if i remember correctly from previously reading the books, i remember something about Rowling saying she had dark features, which in that case could make her black or indian. all of which have dark features

Page 143-
"He recognized a Slytherin from their year, a tall black boy with high cheekbones and long, slanting eyes. . ."
then Slughorn says- "Blaise Zabini is in your year- of course." At which point Zabini and Harry are said to ignore each other because "Gryffindor and Slytherin students loathed each other on principle."

He is though.

Just cos he's black in the HBP movie doesn't mean he's black in the books.
