Thanks very much! (Sorry for writing back like.. ten years later.) And yeah, I don't know how they're going to make Harry Melling look like menancing!Dudley. He's just so cuddly.
They seem to be going for this vaguely classist 'Chav!Dudley' look. (Of course, classism is sort of the name of the game in the books, too, except there it's that the Dursleys are trying to attain a standard they weren't born to, with the pretentious boarding school and the aspirations to holiday homes in contrast to the wealthy Harry who's going to the ultimate in elitist schools.)
Highly interesting point. I dig it. I always felt sorry for the Dursleys, because they just want to be the best. And Harry (who, in my mind, is just as bad as everyone else) really didn't do anything to be rich or famous. Ah. Angst.
I also love your icon. It's very random!happy!Draco. Now how do you like this new one? Wigger!Dudley abounds. ;-D
