 Paige Woods' Reply: 

   I was also a little unnerved about that. It *does* seem that Hermione hasn't done a lot of developing. True, she *has* loosened up a tad, but that isn't much developing. But looking at it in retrospect, how can you make Hermione develop without messing up her personility and hobbies?
