Yes, not  to rag on poor Emma, but she looks better with bangs. Emma seemed
to fit  the bill as ³book Hermione² in the first, and maybe 2nd movie.
Actually her  hair was more crimped than ³frizzy². But then again, she
doesn¹t have buck  teeth either! Funny how the directors saw fit to make
Neville wear  prosthetic teeth to make him more goofy looking, but not
Hermione...I  really get the impression from the books that she¹s not
supposed to be very  good-looking (at least that¹s what Pansy Parkinson told
me!! :-)
And  yeah, I really liked Dan¹s hair in POA. Shortish, but spiky on  top.

I thought Hermione's hair looked good in PoA -- kind of spiral  curled, 
parted in the center.  It's EMMA's hair that bothers me, although  Hermione's hair 
is supposed to be bushy, not spiral curled.  She's not  going to have enough 
of a transition from Hermione to "Yule Ball Hermione" for  the boys to not be 
able to recognize her.  If she'd gone from "first film  Hermione" to "Yule Ball 
Hermione" in looks, yeah, that would be a visual shock  to the boys.  Cuaron 
did the movies a disservice by making her too pretty  (Emma's a pretty girl - 
Hermione isn't supposed to be, not until the Yule Ball  after she's had her 
teeth fixed and puts her hair up for the first  time).
 
And poor Neville -- they made him wear shoes two sizes too big and  they put 
things behind his ears to make them sit out more, as well!  And as  crooked as 
Matt Lewis's teeth are, he didn't really need a dental appliance,  poor kid! 
(What do Brits have against braces for their  teeth???)

As for Harry's hair -- I liked it a lot in PoA, and I like Harry's hair  from 
the stills I've seen in GoF -- it's *Dan's* hair that's weird-looking in  the 
GoF interview shots shown in the ABC commercial for Saturday's show.   And 
boy, what an awful pic they chose of him to use as the still for showing the  
trio being interviewed -- his lips tight together in a thin smile?  And his  
hair's a lot lighter -- too much time in the 20 foot tank??  It looks dry  and 
nearly frizzy.  *HE's* getting *Hermione's* hair, that's it!   heehee.  
 
I also don't understand why the producers allow the kids to show up in what  
I would consider "play clothes" (mostly the boys -- Emma dresses a bit nicer)  
for interviews.  Rupert's usually in holey jeans and both boys are wearing  
well-worn t-shirts, from the looks of them (the graphics are soft and look as 
if  they've been washed many times).  It's nice to let them be comfortable, and 
 the early days of Dan being in a suit with his hair combed Pierce Brosnan 
style  wouldn't look right for him as a teen, but still -- even rock stars dress 
a bit  nicer than that for interviews a good bit of the time.  

I do wish  Warners would consult with us before presenting *our* kids in a  
less-than-perfect light!!  heehee
 
Yes, I'm a dreamer. . .
