Even worse than the hair

I guess I can too. Although no matter how I rationalize it, 
Hermione's hair isn't that color in my head.

The artist also reported having talked to JKR (about scar alignment, 
I think). Since he got Hermione's eye color absolutely wrong, I have 
a hard time believing such a conversation took place. Not to 
disparage the guy's artistic ability, but IMO, he missed accurately 
interpreting the characters by 180 degrees.

And while I'm on the topic, who told the artist Ron was supposed to 
look like a clueless idiot?
