Harry Potter – Making Glasses Cool For Kids

2012-06-11 00:00:00

Despite the ending of the most popular kids’ franchise of a generation last year when the curtain fell on the final moments of Harry Potter’s Deathly Hallows film, the endearing and instantly recognisable nature of the spectacled protagonist has left an indelible lightening sized mark in regards to children’s fashion.

Daniel Radcliffe portrayed JK Rowling’s Potter character in a Hollywood movie series which spanned much of his childhood and early adult life, watching him become synonymous with the rounded glasses wearing character made famous in the worldwide phenomenon of the Potter books loved my adults and children alike.

Round Glasses Now Unlikely Children’s Trend

The success of the films brought to life the appearance of the characters imagined by those who read the books, with Potter’s glasses shown to a massive worldwide audience which brought in record grossing and a new breed of Potter fans, mostly of the younger spectrum of the cinema going market. Seeing the character perform the various spells and acts of courage displayed throughout the narrative, all the while wearing his famous black rimmed spectacles, ensured kids would no longer associate such eyewear as being unconventional or ‘uncool’ in the often unforgiving school playground environment, with the unlikely premise in future of children no longer shunning the idea of wearing similar spectacled glasses.

Children Purposely Failing Eye Tests

Although it should obviously never be encouraged, optometrists have actually been reporting a rise in children attempting to feign poor eyesight in order to get hold of some elusive Potter specs, which while inherently an ill advised move that will likely be scuppered in the long run, is at least an amusing step in the right direction for the mindset of children who previously avoided wearing prescription glasses wherever possible for fear of the negative connotations.

Which Glasses Will Get Your Kids The Look

The renewed popularity in rounded lenses will hopefully see a parent not needing to overly ensure their child is wearing prescription glasses each day, but it may be important to choose the correct look which matches the Potter appearance closely to avoid any potential conflict. Glasses such as Direct Sight’s U26 rounded model showcases a retro black acetate frame which can adhere to a variety of lens types, making a perfect choice for Potter enthusiasts wishing to copy the image of the captivating wizard who seems to have given the rounded lens industry an enduring appeal as timeless as the novels that made his name.
