Book 1: "Has anyone seen a toad? Neville's lost one," she said. She had a bossy
sort of voice, lots of bushy brown hair, and rather large front teeth.

Personally, speaking as someone with brown (slightly bushy) hair and blue eyes,
I've never presumed anything about hermione's eye color - and just as a note -
my little Hermione on a Stack of Books Secret Box has her with light brown hair
- it's definitely, to my mind, brown - but the light kind. There are so many
shades of brown hair (look through the clairol website for a small sample) that
I can see the WB people giving her this light brown hair, which might,
depending on hwo it's printed, look blonde, but it really isn't - on the
calendar, the picture with Fluffy makes her look blond, but the Wingardium
Leviosa one looks very brunette. But that's just IMHO
