**Hal** , that’s hilarous! That girl is supposed to be Fleur? She’s attractive, but not fury inducing beautiful like in the books. Eh, better than a blonde [Helen of Troy](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1208167/) I suppose. ---

Yes, I hear the Harry Potter books are quite a hit with the youngtsers ---

Smuggling yo-yos is another term I’ve heard for cameltoe. ---

For a humorous take on the term, watch Fannypack’s video “Cameltoe”. [Link](http://music.yahoo.com/ar-302950---Fannypack) to their Launch page. (The group is a one hit wonder, last year that song was quite the hit.) ---

Note: that video probably is **NSFW**. It’s along similar lines that 20 Fingers’ “[Short D\* Man](http://www.lyricsxp.com/lyrics/s/short_dick_man_20_fingers.html)” (Clean version was “Short Short Man”.) was long long ago. ---

No, that photo is of an odd crease in an enourously overweight woman’s “belly fat”. That is NOT her “cleft” showing! ---

Eh, better than a blonde [Helen of Troy](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1208167/) I suppose. I thought so too. But I’m sure that hiring actual part-veela girls is dangerous. Imagine what one would do to you if she didn’t get the part. 😃 ---

Thank you for that. I was feeling quite irky at the idea of all of us grown folk inspecting a teen’s (she’s 16 in the book, isn’t she?) nether regions looking for the barest hint of her unmentionables. Now I feel slightly less skeevy. ---

Fleur was at least seventeen in the book. Remember the Age Line? ---

If you want to get into the whole camel-toe thing, why not have a look at a website devoted specifically to this cultural (?) phenomenon? [http://ctoe.bolt.com/](http://ctoe.bolt.com/) There are currently no porblematic images on the main page, but if you click on the link at the left titled “Women’s Toes” you will definitely get some NSFW content. Explore at your own risk. ---

I knew that Clémence Poésy was 23 (born 1982) because I’d read it on a fan site, but that doesn’t matter because I didn’t even think about her age when I posted. That not only makes me a total idiot (regarding cameltoe and pubic hair) it makes me an unthinking asshat. I’m a :wally My deepest apologies to you, Stonebow and everyone else. > [@iamthewalrus(:3=](#): > > Do you have a higher resolution image somewhere you’re not sharing with us? Well, there was a huge one on The Leaky Cauldron, but maybe they had to take it down. I know they got hammered when the word got about about the pictures (which they originated) and the site went down for a while. Btw, I saw the movie at a test screening and that girl’s much more beautiful onscreen than she is in stills, but her character didn’t have much to do or say, so she came off as kind of a blip. At the time I hadn’t read the book(s) and didn’t know what a veela was or that she was supposed to be one (I’ve since read all 6 books) so I had no expectations that she was supposed to be extra gorgeous. She just seemed like a pretty girl to me. ---
