Hermione - Harry Potter - How annoying!

She is just annoying, much more so in the film than the books.

Just watching the Goblet of Fire, and she's 'ooo Victor is so physical... well he isn't loquacious, he likes to watch me study'

she just really grates on me...

Well, Hermione speaks very highly of you OP!

They're all muppets, imo. Harry being the worst offender. Think the world is good but I can't read a book with such an annoying main character.

blackteasplease · 17/10/2018 13:10

I think it's telling that people find a female character who speaks her mind and isn't afraid to push herself forward grating.

ShirleyPhallus · 17/10/2018 13:11

I think it’s Emma Watson’s wise eyed, extremely earnest performance that makes her annoying

She isn’t really in the books

newdocket · 17/10/2018 13:12

I love Hermione. More book Hermione than film Hermione to be fair, where she was (understandably) a much more rounded character. They'd have been absolutely stuffed without her!

Harry is the most annoying character by far

DiseasesOfTheSheep · 17/10/2018 13:16

Harry is epic - he's the most spectacularly unobservant kid in history. Literally anything could have been going on at Hogwarts and he'd just be wandering around going, "I bet Snape has something to do with this"... Doesn't have two brain cells to rub together, but manages to defeat the Dark Lord - a true inspiration for every dimwitted child in the country.

Harry is much more annoying.

erm, its got nothing to do with her sex - if Ron was as know it all as her, then i would have titled this "Ron - Harry Potter - How annoying!"
Stop imagining anti woman sentiment, shes annoying, its got nothing at all to do with her being female ffs Hmm

I absolutely adore Hermione, I think she’s a fantastic character and role model.

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 17/10/2018 13:33

Both Harry and Hermione have the misfortune to have been played by two of the worst actors in the business.

Nothing to do with EW being female. She was just a "if in doubt shout and OVERACT" child actor, while DR is just dire.

Ginny takes the wooden spoon though. My kettle has more acting skills.

RayRayBidet · 17/10/2018 13:35

Can't stand her

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 17/10/2018 13:37

Once you've realised how much her eyebrows move you can never unsee it.

NancyDonahue · 17/10/2018 13:38

Ron's twin brothers are also diabolical actors. Still love the films though.

SilentIsla · 17/10/2018 13:41

Are you adults?

Tahani · 17/10/2018 13:44

@SilentIsla who?

yeah - maybe thats it She was just a "if in doubt shout and OVERACT" child actor, while DR is just dire. that kind of stage school actor

I love the books and held off watching the films until fairly recently as I was sure they wouldn’t live up. I love the films too as it goes but don’t find Hermione or Harry likeable in the flesh so to speak, neither actor lives up to the way the characters are written in the books for me so no, YANBU OP.

I think Emma Watson is actually really really good in the last 2 films. I agree with pps for the first 6.

Hermione is great.

SilentIsla · 17/10/2018 13:47

These are films of books for children. Why would adults watch them or read the books?

ListenLinda · 17/10/2018 13:49

Maybe we read them as children and still enjoy them now? I didn't realise there was an age limit on HP enjoyment!

Frogscotch7 · 17/10/2018 13:50

Hermione’s hair in the first film was all kinds of wrong. It looked like someone had taken a crimper to it then not bothered doing anything else. That hair stylist should have been fired with a book on career advice as a leaving gift.

I’ve watched them with my children. I don’t think that’s a particularly unusual family activity. Personally I’m not a fan of the films, and EW is definitely a bit of an “oh MY!” stage school actress in them, but my youngest ds in particular finds them entertaining.

Tahani · 17/10/2018 13:56

@MirriVan its the whole package, not just the words, its the "i know everything and will overact as much as i can"

I really enjoyed the books when i read them, and the films are mostly quite good, apart from a lot of Hermione scenes
