What if the characters of "Harry Potter" looked like they did in the Books? J.K. Rowling brought us the world of Harry Potter and endowed it with an impressive number of secrets. However, some characters don’t match their descriptions from the books. Did you know that when the first book was written, Professor Snape was just over thirty? Watch this video for more surprising details!

SUMMARY
-Some of the important aspects of Harry's appearance from the books weren't reflected in the film. According to the books, “the boy who lived” has his mother’s green eyes and the wild hair that refuses to be styled.
-The author chose a thick bush of chestnut hair and large front teeth (which she reduced in Goblet of Fire, though, when Malfoy’s spell ricocheted into Hermione) to be Hermione’s distinguishing features. Emma Watson had this “thick bush” only in the first movie and nice teeth from the very beginning.
-In the books, Ron has a long nose and freckles that are nowhere to be found on Rupert Grint.
-Severus' description in the book says he had “greasy black hair and a hooked nose.” Plus, he was supposed to be just a little older than thirty at the beginning of the first book.
-None of the actors who played Dumbledore had his “very long and crooked” nose.
-When "Mad-Eye" appears in the book, he is described as a man with a badly disfigured face and tip of the nose. In the movie, however, he looks just fine apart from the famous “mad eye” and several lines on his face.
-According to J.K. Rowling's vision, Viktor Krum was tall, slim, and had a hooked nose. Some of these details made it to the film, but most of them, unfortunately, didn't.
-In the books, Mrs. Dursley is described as having a long neck that granted her the ability to spy on her neighbors, which she just loved to do, and blonde hair.
-In the books, Minerva is described to be a tall, black-haired and kind of severe-looking woman, who, according to Harry's first impression, “is not someone to cross.”
-Acoording to J.K. Rowling, Dolores Umbridge looks just as unpleasant on the outside as she truly is inside. She certainly has some resemblance to a frog thanks to her round, bulging eyes, large mouth, and pale, loose skin.
-In the book, Rufus Scrimgeour resembled an old lion because of his "mane" of graying ginger hair and his style of clothing.
-When we first meet him in the books, Bill Weasley is described to be tall, thin and handsome. He looks like a rock star and usually wears his hair in a ponytail.
-In the books, aristocratic Narcissa Malfoy is tall and very pale. According to Harry, she looks like “she's got dung under her nose.”

    That is Severus Snape when he does Korean skin care.
  • An intersting fact, Tom Felton first auditioned for Harry and Ron's role but finally he got selected for Draco Malfoy, imaging how funny he would look in Harry or Ron's role 😂 😂

    When the 3rd movie was being filmed the director wanted the cast to write a 1 page essay about their characters. Daniel did the 1 page as requested Emma true to her character wrote a 10 page essay. Rupert didn’t write one at all. When asked why he said “Ron wouldn’t, so I didn’t”. The director loved that response.

    things people hate in the movies -ginny having the emotion of a brick -harry's eyes -"calmly"
  • @Linus644
    Honestly, I have nothing to complain about Alan Rickman as Snape
  • Some of the characters didn't look exactly as the book described them, but the original cast was amazing, and I really respect them for making the books come to life.
  • @nevaa2787
    Daniel Radcliffe was allergic to the green contacts, so he couldn’t wear them.
  • @jesinon
    Better a 50-something Alan Rickman as Snape than any 30-something on the planet who was not Alan Rickman.
  • @ILoveMahCat
    I didn't realize how young snape was supposed to be until way later... Alan Rickman is great but imagine Snape, Sirius and Lupin all being in their 30s...

    Harry: The boy who lived. Hermonie: The girl who knew. Ron: The boy who loved. Draco: The boy who had no choice. Snape: The man who never lived happily😥😥
  • @Jinan3665
    Fact: Alan Rickman(Severus Snape) was handpicked to play as Severus Snape by J. K. Rowling herself. She also said him backstory of Snape to him which she didn't expose until her last novel. P. S. : These facts were taken from Amazon Prime Video's Do You Know Section.

    Book: “Harry did you put your name in the goblet of Fire?”Dumbledore asked calmly. Movie:”HaRrYDiDYoUPuTyOuRNaMeInThEgObLeToFfIrE!?!!?!
  • I can't even imagine another person in place of Emma Watson for Hermione character
  • @qizhang5752
    Wait wait wait McGonagall is only 56 when Harry came to Hogwarts? I thought she was somewhere between 70 and 100!
