The Desired Effect: The authentic passing of time. The Actual Effect: Miserable middle aged zombies. Apparently, being grown up in the wizarding world of Harry Potter means not being able to shave properly, and never, ever getting any sleep, judging by the 5 o'clock shadow sported by Harry and Ron, and the giant, insomniac eye-bags cradling all of the main casts' eyes. Remember that this is a future when there is no Voldemort, and thus very little reason to stay up sleeplessly guarding your children and house, so you have to wonder exactly what sort of heinous trials and tribulations the main cast have gone through in the 19 years after the demise of the Dark Lord. The people above are after all, only 37 years of age, and aren't all stricken with terminal diseases, so their haggard appearance is a damning indictment of growing up and having kids with your childhood sweethearts. And pity poor Draco Malfoy, who for some reason has developed a receding hairline, despite his father having a luxurious mane of glorious blonde locks into his 40s, despite incarceration in Azkaban... Did we miss any terrible movie make-up fails that completely distracted you? Share your own picks in the comments thread.
