Bart:
Going back to a previous topic of "fantasy casting" of movies (which puts this on-topic), Hermoine has pronounced buck teeth until they get fixed (I don't have the books handy, but I'm pretty sure it first gets noticed at the Yule Ball in GOF, so that's probably where it took place). Americans like to make fun of British dentistry, but her parents ARE supposed to be British detnists...

If I had to cast Harry Potter movies, I would find a young girl who looks like she will grow up pretty, and "ugly" her up some, rather than, say, just mussing up her hair a little like some less imaginative movie maker might do.
