Please see the hairdo of the lead actor.
He really reminds me
far more of Harry Potter than Tintin to look at - his hair has a sort of quiff (which isn't that unusual), but not in a way that says "Belgian Boy Detective" to me.
The film trailer looks quirky fun, and there are obvious parallels in the action with the Tintin books and movie (the old biplane, and the zip-wire stunt especially), but the actor's hair? Not a strong link.
And again, the school scenes, and the lead's glasses, made me think Harry Potter.
