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.

The one issue I had was that they straightened her hair rather than keeping it really curly as Hermione's remains throughout the book series. Emma could have been her beautiful self, but with her hair really curly on screen as Hermione it still would have looked like the character.

Domnhall Gleeson is gorgeous. I'm not usually into redheads, but he's a major exception. I love him in everything he's ever been in.
