I'm surprised that any of them won..there's this kid I saw at a marching band competition who looked just like Rupert Grint. I even did a double take when I saw him.

I dont think any of them particuly look like the characters... espec the Ginny person (dont mean it harshly)I suppose the Hermione person does look a bit like Emma , and the Harry person slightly, too ish... Looks like its been photoshopped (Hermione one)

Congrats though.
agreed, but congrats to them for winning the contest

They do look alot like the actors and congrats to them, but I wish people would have contests on the book characters every once and a while too...

I think they could've found better look-alikes. I personally know a guy who looks more like Dan than the guy that won the contest, but then again the guy I know isn't British.

And this is random, but the Dan look-alike looks so much like Ryan Atwood (the blonde guy from the OC) with brown hair. Their noses are EXACTLY alike!


The Ginny look-alike only looks like Ginny because of her hair. I feel stupid ranting about personal acquaintaces ... but again, I know a brunette girl who has a face just like Ginny (now, if they photoshopped her I doubt you could tell who was who...).


But whatever. I'm happy for the winners anyways

the guy who won doesn't look at all like Dan or Harry--could have picked a better winner. and Megan does kind of look like Emma...with the eyes and mouth..the way she's smiling, her nose looks different though and the picture looks wicked photoshopped. i think Emma's prettier, not that Megan isn't pretty, she is, but well i think Emma looks more like Hermione, the girl just doesn't fit.
the girl for ginny, kind of does...the hair, but the eyes and face...maybe not--well maybe i'm judging too much on Bonnie...she would look like a good Ginny...but i think Bonnie's better

Personally I think that none of them look like the actors at all. The "Harry Potter" kid looks like Adrien Brody(the Pianst) and the Hermione girl needs a hair cut and the last one, not even going to comment

The Hermione/Emma Watson look alike gets my vote. I'm not too sure about the other two.

They didn't have to be. The Hermione lookalike was American.

How do we know what the characters look like? We've only got a few abstract drawings of Harry and Ron, and only vague descriptions of the others. They'd have to go by the actors.
We know from the films. It's meant to be a lookalike contest to see who looks like the film characters, not the actors themselves. And the Hermione one definitely looks more like Emma Watson than the Hermione in the films.

It's a lookalike thing for the characters as they are in the films, not lookalikes of the actors.

Photoshopping an image for a contest is kinda wrong. But oh well, it's The Sun, they're a silly tabloid so they probably either didn't notice or didn't care.

Talking

I just to clear some things up that have been said

I am the runner up winner from the contest.(the Hermione look a like)

I was not wearing a wig

If you wan't proof them let me know. Why would they ever pick a photoshopped picture? Don't you think they are smarter than that? I submitted a photograph not a printed picture from the computer.

Oh and thank you to everyone who had nice comments! I know we obviousley don't look identical to the real people but this was a fun contest and I've always been told I've looked liked her.

I won was the DVD they are suposed to send me a Prize Package but I haven't gotten it yet.

Hope that helped clear some stuff up!

Actually I wasn't wearing a wig and the contest wasn't ran by The Sun. It was ran by Woolworth's and Warner Home Video

No company would ever choose a photoshopped picture, they are smarter than that.
