Things are property sex video finger herselfgetting dark.
At least when it comes to the sartorial vision -– or in this case, lack-thereof -– of the new Harry Potter characters.

The latest photographs from the upcoming production are of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child are of Slytherin's darling, Draco Malfoy, and his son, Scorpius.

But the most egregious takeaway we've had? Malfoy's absurd ponytail (A PONYTAIL!) along with his Homer Simpson-like beard. Together, he looks less villain, more WWE's Chris Jericho in his golden years. Draco's hairstyle takes away from the malevolent nature of his character. It's difficult to hate on someone when you feel pity for them.

This is problematic.
Villains throughout history are purposefully alluring, smart, sexy and chic. Their nefarious nature is manifested into their beautiful clothing. This is important for two reasons: It allows viewers to be drawn to these characters while also permitting them to hate on these villains because they are so beautiful.
Just look throughout cinematic or television history. The biggest villains of all time were style icons.
Cruella DeVille with her iconic look: designer furs, a penchant for chic, dark, bodycon frocks, and long, rouge-colored gloves.
There's Hannibal Lector, who still kept his grooming intact while behind bars (and in a straightjacket, for that matter!) The Joker, whose dazzling green hair matched with his royal purple suits, tailored so beautifully to his lanky body.
Even Malfoy's father, Lucius, had a dark, brooding sexiness to him. His platinum blonde hair had great volume and shine, for one. And his suits with fur trims, gold buttons, and excellent fit, were badass.
Draco's look? He's goofy, a hapless doofus, totally disarming.
Fine if you're meant to be the underdog.
Villains eschew normality, take disgust in blending in, and certainly embrace their weird. They're supposed to delight in their evil, celebrate their freak, take refuge in fun.
This Draco? He needs a hug. And a trim.
