That's really funny, and probably something I never would have noticed!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I didn't catch it until the third viewing, but I never know if I'm just being slow.
I'm almost always looking at something else while I'm "watching" TV, so that kind of thing always gets by me unless I know to pay attention.
Does someone want to settle an argument for me? What colour is Mrs Coulter's hair in His Dark Materials? We don't have the book handy at the minute.
Dark.
Thanks P-C!
Two of us thought blonde, for some reason...
That reason would be the movie trailers. Heh.
It's a definite possibility, but I think it might've been the monkey. And it's golden hair. Because it came up when we were reading a review talking about how fans are annoyed that Mrs. Coulter had blonde hair in the movie, and we were all "but she does have blonde hair..."
I was about to answer "blonde" as well, and I *just* re-read the books. Must be the monkey.
Yah, monkey was golden but Coulter was dark and sleek.
very first mention of her in Golden Compass, p. 37: "..a beautiful young lady whose dark hair falls, shining delicately, under the shadow of her fur-lined hood,...." then on p. 58: "She was beautiful and young. Her sleek black hair framed her cheeks, and her daemon was a golden monkey."
But if Pullman is so keen on Kidman, then i have no argument with the blonde :)
