All right. Anyone who's read my fic pretty closely knows I'm not using the HP movie actors as my templates when I write. But damn they can be cute. But I do find it helpful since most of what I write is them at age 17, 18, 19 and beyond, to see how people who bear a passing resemblance to characters in my head look different as they age. (and as different stylists get their hands on their hair...)

If you don't like to know what anything from the next movie is going to look like, don't follow the following link, which goes to a group photo of the DA:

What I want to know is who the heck is that sexy Ravenclaw all the way to the left? And there's a Hufflepuff next to him, but I don't care about him.

Warner Bros. has apparently labeled them "Slightly Creepy Boy" and "Somewhat Doubtful Boy" but I think we can probably apply a little brainpower and match them up with someone in the canon, no?

ETA: All Hail IMDb, which taradiane pointed out nails the doubtful Hufflepuff as Zacharias Smith, as Nick Shim is credited as such. But Ryan Nelson doesn't appear in the cast list, nor do the Terry Boot nor Michael Corner character names.



Here's a link to the members of the DA: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizards/da.html

And here's the description from OoTP (the book) of who appears at the first meeting:

First came Neville with Dean and Lavender, who were closely followed by Parvati and Padma Patil with (Harryʹs stomach did a back‐flip) Cho and one of her usually‐giggling girlfriends, then (on her own and looking so dreamy she might have walked in by accident) Luna Lovegood; then Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet and Angelina Johnson, Colin and Dennis Creevey, Ernie Macmillan, Justin Finch‐Fletchley, Hannah Abbott, a Hufflepuff girl with a long plait down her back whose name Harry did not know; three Ravenclaw boys he was pretty sure were called Anthony Goldstein, Michael Corner and Terry Boot, Ginny, closely followed by a tall skinny blond boy with an upturned nose who Harry vaguely re as being a member of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team and, bringing up the rear, Fred and George Weasley with their friend Lee Jordan

"Doubtful" looks to be blond (or blondish) and a Hufflepuff, judging by the color of his tie. Could he be the unnamed Quidditch player?

ʹWhereʹs the proof You‐Know‐Whoʹs back?ʹ said the blond Hufflepuff player in a rather aggressive voice. He is of course Zacharias Smith, as JKR names him on the next page. That seems pretty likely to me.

I couldn't find anyone in the DA described to match "Slightly Creepy" though. Terry Boot? Anyone have any theories?

Oh and I love Ginny being the only girl wearing pants. You go, girl.
