I agree about the prosthetics. After reading the orginal post, I started re-reading the Harry Potter series. This, if anything, proves your argument. After watching the movies, I had forgotten the humour, most of the characterization, and subplots which made the books so good.

Definitely with you on the Hermione angle. Emma’s been dipping into the Sleekeazy’s a bit much, if you ask me. The buck teeth would be hard to get in a child actor, what with braces being put on as soon as the parents can afford the inside-the-teeth kind; and though they can do prosthetics, it might seem too much to ask of someone who’s not yet had a chance to get really professional to work with that handicap. But there’s no excuse for the hair, unless she had the reverse of what happened to mine–it suddenly becoming smooth instead of suddenly becoming frizzy at about age 12. And then there’s always hair dryers.

I think that because the second book had so many elements which felt to much like a film (giant spiders, flying cars), it worked better as a film. But I didn’t like Hermionie. As a (ex)brace-wearing person with curly hair, I think we should be represented more in films!

Personally, I think the first two Harry Potter films were okay — not fantastic, but not terrible either — and the third was actually good. Chamber of Secrets was actually a better movie than a book, but then it was my least favorite of the series.
