Is Hermoine also a boy now? Might as well do the whole hocus-pocus-presto-chango thing....

Agree.
Seven movies (I have them all) were made with Hermoine (sp) as a redheaded white English preteen/teenager. Then producers decide she’s going to be a dark skinned, black, decidedly middle aged, woman for the play and, when the fans notice this minor adjustment to the character’s incarnation, JK is shocked that they dared to complain about it?
Oh, and instead of JK showing some grace towards the fans and understanding that many will not see this new production as a continuing evolution of the character as originally presented, you instead decide to call them “racists” and decry their bigotry.
Well, JK, enjoy your billions,
It’s a free market. Entertainment involves disposable income and no more of mine will be spent on your offerings. Not because I cannot accept a black Hermoine, but because I cannot accept your condescending PC attitude.

This reminds me of the discussion of the black storm trooper in Star Wars.

Your opinion is very much appreciated. Not!
I predicted, accurately, that she would be the dominate character because of her acting ability and appearance. In the beginning she was just cute and articulate. by the third film she was beautiful. And still articulate.

The Potter actor who changed the most was Neville Longbottom, played by Matthew Lewis. Here he is in a British series about EOD in Afghanistan "Bluestone 42".
He's only 29, but might make a respectable Bond one day.

Nonsense. Had Hermione not been white, that would have been mentioned somewhere in the books or films. that by studying, she was "acting white"

Emma Watson did grow up nicely:
Although I do think she is a little full of herself lately:

I'm not the one who's into Emma Watson, I observed that many movie-goers were fans. I didn't make that too clear. Sorry.
I do believe she is a good actress. I have a related degree from a decent college to make that judgement.
