Right.  I do think the actress playing Hermione in the movie is a bit too
small and cute, but like you said, a lot of things can be fixed with movie
make-up.  It's mostly the merchandise that bugs me.  Oh well.

Yeah, that's an interesting point.  I think the actor playing Ron looks
great in every other way but I agree about the height thing. 

I'm nervous in general about the movie, as everyone else is, I'm sure, but
the pictures posted of the filming look great.  The movie is never as good
as the book in any case, but at least as far as scenery goes, it looks like
they're doing the best they can.
