I really liked Hermione's Cinderella appearance at the
ball.  I thought it actually said quite a bit about
her character, in that she can actually be quite
lovely, and knows that, yet doesn't bother making a
fuss about it unless it's a special occasion.  She
thinks she's perfectly fine without all that mess of
hair gel and whatever else she had to do in those
hours she prepared for the Ball, and that's something
to admire.

Actually, the first time I'd ever heard the name
Hermione was when I studied Shakespeare's "A Winter's
Tale".  Queen Hermione dies at the end of the first
act after her husband accused her of cheating on him
with his best friend.  At the end of the play, it's
revealed that she has actually been in hiding the
whole time, waiting for her husband to come to his
senses and grovel appropriately. [g]

This brings me to an interesting parallel for those of
us cruising on the good ship R/H. ;)  Many have
mentioned the scenario of Ron finally realizing how he
feels about Hermione, only to believe that she is in
love with Harry.  So we turn Ron into the king from
Winter's Tale, accusing the woman he loves of cheating
on him with his best friend.  Then something awful
happens, possibly as a result of Ron's accusation, and
Hermione is thought dead.  Ron has to suffer with
knowing that he caused her death *and* falsely accused
her and Harry. [eg] But in the end, of course, she is
found alive and they live happily ever after. ;)
