No, I'm not going to burst into a chorus of "Good Morning Starshine",
but I wanted to comment on the hot topic of the moment.

'Bushy', according to my trusty dictionary, means "growing thickly
like a bush," which fits with Penny's idea of thick hair. However, I
always pictured Hermione's hair as quite frizzy and flyaway, with a bit
of kink and some 'bounce' giving it volume, probably tied back loosely
into a pony tail to keep it in check [obviously, I haven't given it very
much thought].

Another type of bushy hair would be the 'crash-helmet' look sported by
Velma in Scooby Doo, but I can't see that working. Perhaps JKR's own
hairdo is an indication of what she regards as bushy, since she sees
herself in Hermione...

BTW, I was amazed to see Penny responding to casting posts, given that
her determination to avoid these has been second only to her crusade
against the New York Times (which I support 101%).
