Title: the new hermione
Post by: firenze on June 12, 2004, 02:09:41 AM
In the new movie Emma Watson looks more like a Hollywood star than a school girl. The character in the book does mature but still does not turn into a Barbie doll. Hermione Granger in the book is a girl who's least concerned about her looks, she's almost a geek. Alfonzo hasn't done a thorough reading of the potter series, it seems. I know making a movie out of a book is a Herculean task, but still you don't alter the personality of the characters in such a perspicuous way. What are your views about the new Hermione? Which one do you prefer? The Hermione in the earlier movies or the new one.

Well, at 13, all girls begin to realize what they look like and do indeed notice if they look odd, or good.  Hermione is at the point where she is maturing, it is nly natural, you make a good point however about our Hermione in the book vrs. our Hermione in the movies.

The movie did nto follow the book almost at all.  However, in it's own rights, the movie was brilliant.  I liked it.  Of course, I never compare movies to the books, you will never enjoy the movie then.   ;)

I agree with Kiara. I mean, these actors can't stay the same forever, can they?
