12 Dumb Decisions In Harry Potter Movies We Can't Forgive
3. Harry Actually NOT Having His Mother's Eyes
This one feels like nit-picking, so it’s important to
note that the common eye colour of both our hero Harry and his beloved mum are
important to the story of the novels. You see, the occasional minor villain/
eventual major hero of the series Severus Snape had a huge crush on Harry’s mum.
As such his continued commitment to the side of good, as well as his hatred of
Harry, are both explained by the fact that he sees the goodness of his true
love Lily Potter in the eyes of her only son.
Which would be very sweet, if Harry’s actor Daniel Radcliffe had the green eyes Harry Potter is said to. But hey, the thespian more than proved himself over the course of the series and his eclectic career in the years since, so maybe he was simply the best man for the job. As such, we can forgive the oversight.
If it weren’t for a later scene wherein Lily is played by an actor with brown eyes, proving that the filmmakers just couldn’t have cared less.
