Your mental casting of Bottom!Draco?

[takarai-karin.livejournal.com]

Just for fun, I want to ask the community: Who do you cast in your head as Draco (and Harry) when you're reading fics?

Do you:

• Go with movie canon and its casting?
  
• Have your own favorite actors/models as your Harry/Draco, especially in future fics?
  
• Or, like me, have you bypassed casting human beings at all and went straight to fanart depictions?
  
  
  
  Cause for me, it's the third option, and depending on the mood of the fic, these are my mental Draco:

  And these are my Harry:
  
  The first two are also by Demian, and the second by the amazing Ashellkova)
  
  For Eighth Year fics, this is my Draco:
  
  
  And this is my Harry:
  

My mind is very visual, so I'm always playing attention to things like these, and I'm curious what you guys usually do/think.

Oh, I don't watch Skins, but watched that episode cause a friend thought I might like the slashiness. He was a bit of a prat, there, right? So that fits with Harry ^^;

Ah, so there's canon backup for my mental gangly!Harry! That makes me happy for some reason. If I ever want an actual person for 8th year Harry fics, I'd definitely go with Hoult in Skins, then. Now if only we can find a Draco that fits...

Oh and speaking of body types, I think I agree with you about Draco's, especially in this pic http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbmwisq9X21qg2mt6o1_r1_500.jpg. Who is that, btw? A model?

Yep, it's Dima Kopeikins (https://www.google.com/search?q=Dima-Kopeikins&espvd=208&es_sm=122&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=LNk1UrhLxKS0BqG8gIAJ&biw=1517&bih=708&sei=Ltk1UuaXAsfFswbU-IDgCQ#es_sm=122&hl=en&q=Dima+Kopeikins&safe=off&tbm=isch&um=1&imgdii=_). Now that I think about it, he does have an aristocratic features thing going on, here (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk3xipmgpO1qgg5o8o1_500.jpg) and here (http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/balloonies/1263682697/1/tumblr_l9mhs6Ltwi1qze5a0) he looks a lot like Lucius.

I found him from this blog (http://fuckyeahhotblondguys.tumblr.com/page/2), you can probably find someone that looks like him from there. I would suggest Benjamin (http://fuckingyoung.es/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/lambswool4.jpg) Jarvis (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/ewell666/Benjamin%20Jarvis/tumblr_mcyk3nYyns1r9rffqo1_500.jpg).
