I thought teenage girls were congenitally discomfited about their 
bodies. Would Hermione just shrug off displaying her Victoria's Secret 
collection to the world? And given Ron's hormonal hots for Hermione, I 
just can't imagine him NOT gawking at her underthingies, even if they 
are draped across the wrong body.

(And IS there a WW equivalent of Victoria's Secret? Probably in the 
restricted section of Diagon Alley. One wonders what the catalog must be 
like.)

Hmm, I guess I pictured Fleur as not being too hot and bothered about it 
-- she's a Veela after all, and aren't they kinda used to being gawked 
at? But it WAS Fleur who provided the two best lines of the scene: "I'm 
'hideous", and the "soppy, slavish look that Harry hoped with all his 
heart would never appear on his face again."

Whew - who ever would have guessed one could get so much gutter-time out 
of a children's book?
