I must say I find it a bit amusing that everyone (not just Emeline, by any 
means) seems so horrified at the thought of Hermione in pink.  I have no idea 
where the early images of the trio came from, before the movie, I mean, but they 
all had Hermione in a pink shirt.  Harry's got the red and white stripes, Ron 
in a purple shirt, and Hermione in pink, with jeans.  So just lacking the 
rainbow belt.  I don't mind the pink.  Really. >>

I agree. I find the whole clothes uproar amusing myself ;-) I mean, really, 
in the first film, all three kids are in Muggle clothes for the big climax, 
they wear them on the train before they change into robes, Ron and Harry didn't 
even change into robes before rushing into school in COS, they wear them in the 
spider scene...what's the big uproar about?
They don't wear robes constantly, just in classes and in the great hall. I'm 
sure it's like most boarding schools, they wear the uniform during school 
hours and after hours or weekend, they change to their regular clothes.
As for the pink, I don't see what the big deal is either. Did JKR ever say in 
the books that Hermoine would rather be caught dead than in pink?
And don't even read some of the comments on the Leaky Cauldron site! LOL! 
Those folks are calling the clothes 'stylish' - ahem, if that Dudley sweater and 
baggy pants on Dan is stylish, well..... ;-) I don't think the clothes are 
'stylish' in the way people are meaning. They look like regular old casual 
clothes to me.

Anyway, sorry to rant, but it's bugging me how so many people are moaning 
about how awful the movie is going to be because the kids are wearing sweaters 
and jeans ;-)
I am sure they wear robes during the classes - remember the pic we got a long 
time ago of them walking down the hill from Hagrid's hut? They had robes on 
then.
I do like the hood thing Dan is wearing in that pic on the Sun page with 
McGonagall though <g>
