Hm, Indeed. A friend commented to me recently, that what WB did was change geeky Hermione into the sort of girl who bullied and snubbed you at school. It really ruined the movie character for her, and Kami truly hated the blonde hair Emma Watson sports in HBP. She's been repeating her dislike quite often to me. ; ) It's not as bad as that Twilight movie though, that's just a supermodel catwalk.
I really hate how so much of hollywood and television centers around the actors looks, did you here about the IMAX poster for OotP? They photoshopped Hermione so that her waist was skinner and her breasts were bigger. Heaven forbid that there might be a an inch of fat! *gasp* Or acne!
JKR has said that she doesn't support such views, but what about Ginny? She was normal, flawed and awkward from Books 1-4 and then suddenly she gets a boyfriend in 5 and she's "Miss Perfect". She's brilliant at sports, a powerful spellcaster, has a sharp sense of humor, strong willed, über confidant and so hot that even the pureblood sytherins are checking her out. "The Hot Girl" goes out the "The Jock", I truly hate that cliche, it's the same with Lily and James.
I think 90% of the evil or mean spirited characters in the book are ugly, fat or greasy. There's an obsession in our society with the outward appearance, I don't think Jo has truly shaken off the view.
Anyway! Interesting poster of Draco, I like the background.
Is it just me, or is the actress playing Lavender a little older then 16? *laughs* Yes, there is a slight Mrs. Weasley look, but I think she's got the perfect supplicant expression on her face. Any moment she'll be pouncing on "Won-Won"
I agree with the weird Ginny/Harry, Lily/James comparison. It's looks terribly opedial, especially since Ginny and Lily's personalities are so similar. Wow, just realized. . . if Lily had lived, she would have been a grandmother at age 45. That's another issue i have with Jo, why do all the witches have kids so young?

Sorry for the rant!
