this is in the gyptian boats or the vessel....... most likely the vessel because she looks cold and it was summer when she was in oxford..........

Yes, probably

Apparantly it is...but why is she wearing a modern sweater. um.. maybe this was on set and it was cold...

Then I'm confused!

Who ever said there weren't zippers in Lyra's world?

Sorry about that. But I think her expression is great, nice and concentrated, regardless of what she's wearing.

I think she looks perfect in this photo, jacket and all. She looks really calm and cosy, just how she should be when reading the alethiometer.

Cosy is the right word. And she does look deep in thought...concentrating..

Concentrating on an alethiometer with the cover still on. :]
By the way, did anyone else imagine the alethiometer being bigger and without that pocket-watch kind of cover? Just wondering.

I didn't imagine it with a cover, but only because it was like that on the front of the book.

Not how i imagened the alethiometer, yeah i thought it would be bigger. Hmm i'm sure her hair is a different shade in each pic o well, still not sure about the zip.

or the curls

In this scene, I would agree that her hair should be more blond.

you're just being pedantic now. anyway sees meant to be a slightly browny blond if i remember.

It's probably just the lighting, as you can see, everything around her is pretty shadowy.

She looks really young. i mean, i'm 14 and i've been told i look about 17 with glasses on so Dakota must be really lucky! i can't wait for the movie!

I think her hair in the last few pics has looked absolutely perfect.

Oh yeah, if you look really close you'll see it isn't a zip. They are buttons.

Oh god. I'm sorry i just love her soooo much here. Just look at her. Face, hair, posture. She just is Lyra!!

Ermm exactly how is this a girly Lyra?? And noone at all here has a girly image of Lyra. If they did they would not be a fan of the books. Why do you ALWAYS have to say stuff like that to trigger arguments??

Who implied that Lyra was girly?

I think she meant that the thing to set people off was asking why everyone has such a girly image of Lyra. Which seems pretty unnecessary. Especially since no one here DOES seem to have a girly image of her.

What? Now you're saying Lyra is girly?? If anyone said she was perfect, they probably just meant that Dakota is their perfect image of Lyra.

Maybe she's girly in real life, but she certainly doesn't seem that way in the movie.

YOU ARE TWISTING YOUR OWN WORDS YOU DUMB ARSE!!! First someone thought you said Lyra herself was girly then you said that DAKOTA was girly. You are a liar!! And it isn't even necessary!!!
Thanks Anna x)

Wow, I go away for three weeks and it all happens!

Fights, discusions, interesting stuff!

Don't you dare call my friends chavs you disgusting little person. If you're going to be petty and argue with me fine, but you leave my friends and people I know, people you havn't the first idea about out of it. And I never said I hated chavs, your the one who constantly drills in your hatred for people who are from a certain minority, people you don't even know. You nasty, narrow-minded, pig-headed little bigot who thinks your better than everyone else when really, from the way you behave, you not worth scum.

I think you mean "You're"...

This really is pathetic. Everyone here is so determined to be crtical of very single detail, in very single pic. Wise up for pitty sake. As for the picture i can say with 90% confidence that it is not a zipper on her jumper but two buttons. I saved it to my computer and blew it up on Photshop to come to this conclusion. But even if it was a zipper what would be the big deal. Read the books again and tell if Pullman ever says they dont have zippers in Lyras world. Some of you are getting off like it was who created this world.

hmm. it is a button actually if you look closely.

What!? NOW you wanna make friends??? After you have just said all that crap and I've tried millions of times to try and stop this feud which is basically nothing and you have just thrown it back in my face??? We have gone beyond being friends. I don't want to know you exist. The best we can do is just ignore each other from now on and on the rare cases we do talk to one another just be civil ok? Btw, I don't think that was really you who posted that comment anyway, It is sooo unlike you. If it was you I am glad you have turned over a knew leaf, but I will never be friends with you.

*New

ME!? SNOBBY???? Whos the one who is always bragging about how fantastic they are at anything and everything and how she is so "above" her classmates and how she is better than everyone?
And I knew it wasn't YOU anyway, I just gave you the benefit of the doubt that you had finally changed from the nasty little person you are to someone decent.
Plus, how many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me all these things when YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!!!! *&%^$?Ǭ£u!!!!

No, I argue on the pages where you are either bad mouthing me, or picking on someone else, coz from what I know about you, you're a bully!

Lol!!! now it seems like I'm arguing with myself!!! XD Don't worry I'm not a complete looney, some comments just got deleted.

Dakota in real life isn't that girly, (not saying shes boyish!) but when i first met her at the recalls I think most of the people there knew she'd get the part. I only got a small part not Lyra :( but I'm so glad Dakota did! Well done Dakota Luvyouu x

What do you mean "Only got a small part"? That is fantastic! You should be really proud, well done Claire.

Thanks!
