I know this is a site for discussing the books only, but when it comes to  
what the characters look like I think we have to take into consideration the  
movies. When we read, we all picture in our minds how a character  looks.  
Movies take that away from us and we now have the casting  director's opinion. It 
is well document that JKR had a lot of say concerning the  original casting of 
the three main characters.  If she gave her blessing to  Emma Watson, then I 
consider that as a confirmation that Emma is close to  what Rowling pictured 
Hermione to look like.
