Talk:Hermione Granger/Archive 1

message: Are we sure that  is (a) not copyvio'd and (b) belongs on here?  As it is a fan drawing, I see the possibility of abuse on this and many other Harry Potter articles (i.e. they could potentially simply become fan-art galleries) jglc | t | c 14:46, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Image Usability

message: There are several reasons:
*1. Emma Waston is not equal to Hermione Granger. Readers might mix up easily.
*2. The look of Emma as Hermione Granger have a gap difference between Year1/2 and Year3/4.
*3. Hermione Granger is a character from a fictional book. No reason to post a real Image to show us "it is Hermione Granger."
Please agree with me and post your comments on this . ^^

replies: text: I'd say that the drawings from the book are probably closer however as they are based on descriptions form the books.  If you follow those its pretty clear that Emma Watson is somewhat prettier than Hermione in the books.  It is something that is made a point of a number of times.  I don't think all the pictures should be changed, but presently the article is practically an Emma Watson gallery.  I think some of the pictures should be removed outright as 5 pictures is a little excessive and one or two of them (probably just one at the top) should be traded out for a drawing of some sort.

replies: text: Pictures from the films are pretty iconic now, recognised worlwide as representing the characters. Whatever happened to the publicity picture which used to head this article, the provocative St. Trinians look? Did someone censor it or was there a valid reason for removing it?

thread_title:  Is it better to change all the Emma's picture to the drawings else from the book? 

message: Does Hermione Have any friends other than Harry and Ron? Well, there's Ginny (Ron's little sister). But aside from the two boys she meets on her first day (on the Hogwarts Express) who does she ever become friends with? Uncle Ed 20:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There's Ginny, Patil and Parvati or what ever. If you read the books properly you'll know she's got other friends too. Zhanster 07:00, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Friends

message: Ron breaks up with Lavender a few weeks later, and although it is never mentioned explicitly, it seems that Hermione and Ron have, at last, acknowledged their romantic interest in each other.
I Don't belive that is an appripriate fact, for many reasons. First, I don't belive they have acknowledged their romantic interest in each other. It is possible, but atleast not to each other. Sensible Hermione will think the thing Harry though: What if it doesn't work out? Their friendship would be Totally ruined. Plus, I see no proof that Ron OR Hermione has come to relisation one likes the other. And Finally, I do not belive we should auto-reason Hermione and Ron get together. There is still one book left. J.K. Rowling throws us curveballs alot. I don't think we should rule out the possiblilities.
:JKR has actually resolved this one with unambiguous statements (that caused a bit bad feelings in the fandom).  The actual quote that caused all the stir which can be read here was:
:That said, stating what the characters themselves have or have not realized when it is not specifically and unambiguously stated in the book is not appropriate for wikipedia. Dalf | Talk 01:24, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relationship Debate 

message: I fixed some of the image placement yesterday and it was reverted, after changing the size of my browser window I can see why the revert was done.  The page renders fine if you use a pretty narrow browser window size.  However when viewed in a slightly larger window the imaged cascade accross the screen because the text that comes with them does not reach all the way to the bottom of the image causing the next image not to be left justified.  This can be fixed using  But that causes excess whitspace in the article for some browser windo sizes.  If there is a solution other than the one I tried and had reverted that will cause the images to go left justified but the text flow around them that would be nice.  Or better yet ditch some of the images.  Hermione != Emma Watson I think we shold at least replace the image at the top with a drawing, I don't know about how fair use applies but one fomr one of the book covers might do. In the mean time I will add the clear tags. Dalf | Talk 22:30, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images placement 

message: I was thinking about mentioning Hermione's unusually large and prominent "buck teeth", which are repeatedly mentioned in the novels (but not so much in the screenplays).  Perhaps in the context of an ironic offshoot from the point that her Muggle parents are both dentists, and moreover that Hermione ended up getting them reduced herself at Hogwarts (Goblet of Fire).  But we surely don't want to upset the "wiki editing guild" here - for all I know, someone else already mentioned her teeth (prior to Ron noticing they were reduced in GoF), and The Guild later removed it.
Thoughts about mentioning Hermione's teeth ... ?
OK, I'll do it. Serendipodous 00:47, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hermione's Teeth 

message: I think this article, particularly the opening paragraphs, is getting a bit too wordy. It could definitely use some trimming. Serendipodous 17:09, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Take a look now.  I've broken the introduction up a bit; the wordy text is still there, but at least the introduction itself is very short.  -JohnRDaily 03:20, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: This article is a bit dense

message: "Many at the school have teased her for her looks, including, on one occasion, Professor Snape."
Exactly how many and who? I can only think of Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. 70.52.228.43 22:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point.  How about something like: "Many have have teased Hermione, either about her looks, including once by Professor Snape (GOF ch 18 after Draco's Densaugeo curse is deflected away from Harry towards Hermione), or about her sometimes bossy, know-it-all demeanor..." - which would also cover most of the teasing Hermione undergoes from even the non-Slytherins. Just a draft revision to kick around... --T-dot 00:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Weasel word 

message: Regarding the removal of 'Joanne' as being derived from 'John', because it is reputedly short for Josephine Anne, I quote 'Oxford Minidictionary of First Names':
"Joanne: (F) Old French Feminine form of 'John', which gave rise to the simplified English spelling 'Joan'. This form, with its markedly more feminine spelling, was revived in the early 2oth cent. It has to some extent been influenced by the independently formed combination Jo Anne."Michaelsanders 15:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I think I remember that some time ago there was a pic in here from Hermione wearing her beautiful dress from the Yule ball. Where has that gone? It was the best of all the pix! --Maxl 14:03, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is there a pic missing? 

message: I was about to remove the last anon add to the article, 
  Many rumours are that Hermione and Ron may indeed get together!
but decided to leave it, since it is referring to book 7, and it is ALL rumours at this point. --Bill W. Smith, Jr. 07:23, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
