People tend to obsess over her appearances, when Hermione herself would probably scoff at such things. Hermione was never one to care all that much about physical appearances; she was far 더 많이 concerned over 더 많이 important things, such as defeating Voldemort, getting good grades, freeing the house elves, and, of course, being in 사랑 with Ron. Of course, she cared a little bit about her appearances, but not to a superficial extent. She's not shallow.
Hermione is so much 더 많이 than just a pretty girl. The most important trait is not her physical appearances, but her intelligence. She is extremely logical, book smart, and clever. She can be a bit of a know-it-all at times, but she is extremely caring, brave, and good hearted. She is tough; she fights for her friends, and she fights for what is right, even when she stands alone. She is the one who will do the right thing, 또는 the smart thing, even when everyone else becomes annoyed at her for it. She is the one who keeps her 프렌즈 up to 날짜 on what is going on, who organizes and plans for important things, who motivates them to never give up and to always keep trying. So why do so many refer to her as "the pretty girl"? I think it's because (a) Emma Watson just so happens to be absolutely gorgeous, and (b) she is a girl. People don't refer to either Harry 또는 Ron as "the hot guy". They may also be oversimplified (Harry being "the 메리다와 마법의 숲 one" and Ron being "the funny one", although I already wrote an 기사 about Ron's reputation), at least they are referred to 의해 personality traits. Hermione isn't. Yes, people think of her as smart, but she is 더 많이 often referred to as "the pretty one," 또는 "the beautiful one." And yes, Emma Watson is gorgeous. But if 당신 notice, people tend to be extremely concerned about how a girl physically appears, even though it's not really so important. Although people generally mean well, I think it's really downgrading to say "i 사랑 hermione because she's so pretty."
Another note: Hermione is NOT supposed to be super gorgeous. Yes, her appearances do get better as the 책 go on. But she was never super model gorgeous. People say that because, as I said before, Emma Watson happens to be super model gorgeous. But Hermione, for the first three and a half books, had bushy hair and buck teeth. And, yes, she got better looking. But she was never super amazingly gorgeous. The only time she was supposed to be super amazingly gorgeous was during the Yule Ball. That's it. People say she's the most beautiful girl at Hogwarts. This may be true in the films, but not in the books. No, in the books, the most beautiful girls were Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley, except during Goblet of Fire, where it was Fleur Delacour (she's half Veela!). Why isn't Hermione super gorgeous? Because what makes Hermione so wonderful isn't her looks, it's her personality. Sadly, people seem to have forgotten about this.
So please, pay 더 많이 attention to Hermione's personality, and not the fact that Emma Watson is gorgeous. It's really insulting to Hermione. Hermione is too awesome for such shallowness XD
