Nah, I get it.

Even when you agree with the sentiment behind something, hearing some shorthand/metaphor/slang phrase over and over again can be incredibly irritating. I'm so very tired of hearing about people 'breaking their silence', rather than just, you know, saying something.

[(Anonymous)]

'Be kind' is rapidly becoming the phrase I hate most, regardless of context.

Thanks so much Secret Maker!!

Was this really a thing?

Especially because it's extremely common for kids who were absolutely average-looking in childhood to grow up to be very attractive. I remember going to one of my highschool reunions and being absolutely shocked that a bunch of the guys I wouldn't have looked twice at during school turned out to be drop-dead handsome.

While I wasn't one of those "HDU?!!!" people, I was certainly disappointed at the direction the movies took with the "taming" and "sleeking down" of Hermione's look. Did I think she was too pretty? Was I and about it a bit? At the time as a goofy looking 11-13 year old, sure -- but looking back, I mean it was also the glow up many of us look forward to -- except no one's trying to wait as long as Neville did (but we'll wait lol).

Additionally, and this was big (since I already saw a lot of myself in Hermione re: smarts and buck teeth) her hair was a big deal to me,and the fact that she conformed/"tamed" it...as kid who's black/mixed, surrounded by and growing up constantly getting your hair straightened -- it felt nice to see someone with "bushy"/"unruly" hair (at least in the book). So her getting her straightened was kinda like "well damn." Funny enough, it was a but around that time, maybe after the movie where she had the glow up (which I was also vicariously living -- like one day I'll be pretty tooooo lol) I stopped straightening my hair and went natural. Anyway. That's my gripe. But you can't hold it against someone they way they naturally look! Come on!

I'll add that it's messed up for people to be mad at Bonnie for not growing up to be pretty enough. Wtf do you want?

My own surprise "wow, cute now!" Is the guy who played Dean aka Wes in How to Get Away with murder and I shouldn't be (hypocritical), but the casting choice for Fleur I expected to be more ethereal, and Lupin was a disappointment lmao. Sirius in my head is always hotter and more debonair. Aaaand Bill Weasley...I love Domnhall Gleeson and wish he'd let his hair grow again! The twins were just cool.

It's not Emma Watson's personal moral failing that she's pretty, any more than it's her personal moral failing that she's bad at acting, but both of those things did unfortunately make her performance as Hermione worse.

[(Anonymous)]

At the time I was super upset that they cast such a cute little girl. As an odd looking girl I really wanted another odd looking little girl on the screen. But even as a temperamental 13 year old I never blamed Watson, she did the best she could with what she had.

[(Anonymous)]

I wish I hung out where ever these criticisms happened because all I read or heard was how some fans (grown-ass men) couldn't wait for EW to turn 18. I mean, they were salivating over her because she was so pretty; it was everywhere. And don't get me started on all the terrible, and I mean terrible in every way imaginable, Emma Watson photoshop porn that showed up online after Half-Blood Prince came out.

Where's the hair, where's the teeth? The hair at least should have stayed as it was mentioned in the books a few times.
I do love British TV because they don't exclusively show Holywood pretty cookie cutter women.

Totally disagree. Putting characters in bad wigs and saying "fuck it, they're younger" is great. More shows should take that attitude. Who cares if it's realistic? Let's put on a show. I want to see the characters doing cool stuff, I don't care if they look old.

It needed the full 10 episodes for the last two seasons, plus two more seasons minimum, to flesh out that ending.

Haha I absolutely get this. When I got more into the band a good number of years back, I had the same reaction :D.
