Input please! How do you picture the Next Gen kids?

[letmypidgeonsgo]

Specifically Teddy, Victoire, James, Rose, Al, Scorpius, Hugo, and Lily.

Hair color/texture? Skin? Eye color?

What houses are they in? Who do they take after, personality-wise? Who do you pair them with?

Please share!

Eh, it's just JKR's fanfic. I don't picture those kids because they don't exist.
I don't know how many kids the Trio managed with the spell Hermione came up with to let both of her husbands be the father. They all have the most appallingly messy, bushy red hair imaginable, outrageous numbers of freckles, and piercing green eyes.

I honestly do my best to pretend they don't exist.

[letmypidgeonsgo]

Aww, why?

[coffee_n_cocoa]

I just imagine the epilogue ones to be dysfunctional. The interview kids, I honestly don't care about and don't imagine what they might look like or anything at all. Half the time I can't even remember their names.

But when I HAVE to make up something, James and Lily both have red hair and brown eyes, while Al is Harry's little replica and therefore his favorite. Lily is the most like Ginny. James is a Gryffindor, Al is Hufflepuff, and Lily is Slytherin. James is exactly like his paternal grandfather in personality.

Rose is Ravenclaw, Hugo is Gryffindor. I haven't thought of them beyond that.

I like to think Scorpius was the first Malfoy to Sort Gryffindor.

Other than that? No clue. I don't ship any of them, either, but I'll read them if they're paired with Neville (big surprise there, huh? :P).

Heh, thanks.

Eh. I suppose Teddy exists because he was in the book before the epilogue, but I don't read past the last chapter of DH and pretend all the others just don't exist either. Mostly because the OBHWF scenario squicks me out.

[letmypidgeonsgo]

Well that's lovely for you, but doesn't exactly help me, thanks.

[nightfalltwen]

Well as for Teddy... I see him as taking on more of his father's looks than his mother. I don't like the idea of him always having blue hair, which seems to be a fandom thing. I think he would keep it very neutral growing up.

And I think he's soft spoken.

[letmypidgeonsgo]

Yeah, I don't think Teddy always has blue hair...I'd think it would be hard for him to focus to get it to stay like that for long periods of time.

OOoh, one of my favorite post-war topics... :D

[letmypidgeonsgo]

Finally, someone who can embrace canon! Thank you for that, I was about to delete this whole damn post in frustration

[elfflame]

*hugs* I know what you mean. People really hate the epilogue with a virulence, don't they

[letmypidgeonsgo]

[warning: I got very long-winded!]

I'm not a fan of the epilogue...not so much for the characters it introduces us to as the style of the writing. But, I mean, it's canon! I get that people say that the stuff Jo's talked about in interviews, and while I don't feel the same way, that's fine. But the epilogue is part of the actual series! Its details don't come from supplemental materials or interviews or anything; they're right there in black and white. People ignore the epilogue all the time and I don't even bat an eye, because fic is always presenting AUs for everything - that's sort of its purpose, really - but I don't get it when people are just absolutely in denial about it

*clings* TY for your input! :)
