OK, I'm prepared to get called a troll for asking this, but who thinks they mis-casted...?

Question

Emma Watson for Hermione Granger?

I mean, she's a GORGEOUS girl, but that's just it. I think she's TOO PRETTY. I think that the film industry today is just SO worried about having a plain person on camera, that they got a totally gorgeous girl to play Hermione.

And in the books, it describes her hair as BUSHY, even up to Book 7. It doesn't change, she only changes for the Yule Ball in Book 4. Her hair is not bushy now, it's just wavy/curly, and I don't think it's BROWN enough. It's basically blond.

I know it's "uncool" and "not trendy" for someone her age, but Hermione isn't these. I think they should have left her hair as bushy as it was in the first movie. She could just wear it up in the later ones. I have REAL bushy hair, and wear it up all the time.

And does anyone think that Emma Watson always looks like she's made and suffocating? If you look at her while she's listening to something, she breathes hard and looks angry and like she can't sit still, have you noticed this? I don't think she's a particularly wonderful actress.

So:

1.) They should have gotten a plainer, frumpier looking girl to play Hermione.

2.) There HAD to have been loads of better acting choices out of all the auditions. I don't know what happened the day they picked her. Everything she said in the first film sounded rather fake and rehearsed, didn't it?

I am NOT trying to be mean, and I'm NOT jealous, I'm just really interested in what it would have been like had they picked another Hermione. Does anyone think Emma Watson wasn't the best choice besides me? She's just not what I picture Hermione to look or act like at all. In the fifth one, she hardly even seemed intelligent anymore!!!

Answer 1

Emma Watson IS HHOOTTTT!!!!!

Answer 2

Great observations, but I disagree.

I love Emma as Hermione. She's done a great job.

Answer 3

ur so cruel!

Answer 4

Sorry, but none of the Potter kids can act.  They're generally good-looking and apparently nice people, but their acting leaves something to be desired.

Answer 5

Too old and too pretty.

Answer 6

I won't call you a troll because you're entitled to your opinion.  But I do really like her in that role.  Don't know why really... I just honestly do.  :)

Answer 7

U rnt a troll!!!

I think they mis-casted Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter!!

he shows NO emotion

ohh.... thats voldemort... oh dear.....

it makes me mad :L

Answer 8

Well, Harry is supposed to have green eyes, but Daniel Radcliffe's are blue.  Harry is also supposed to be very skinny from years of being malnourished and his hair is supposed to be sticking up all over.  So I guess Hermione isn't the only character who doesn't look like the book description.  

All the kids had little acting experience when they started; I don't think it's fair to point one of them out for any perceived shortcomings.  

Answer 9

she WAS really homely and unattractive when they cast her...

How were they to know she would grow up hot

Answer 10

In my mind, Emma actually fits the part.
