Because they don’t want to be pestered by muggles who want them to solve all of their problems with a wand-wave. As we know, the wizarding community lives in secret, hiding in plain sight from their muggle neighbors. You know, there’s something about the whole concept of Muggle-born witches and wizards that I’ve never quite followed. On the other hand, I’m glad Hermany Grinder is here, reminding us that we may have been born to muggle parents but we still have a chance of getting that letter and heading off to Chogborts school. This is why you’ve got to be super careful when shopping online. So somewhere in my display cabinets, I’ve good a fantastic looking Cloud Strife and Squall Leonhart, next to a Zidane Tribal with two tails and an arm where one of its legs should be. The last one of them I acquired was a cheap knock-off, and I had zero clue about that until it arrived. One particular set I was trying to complete was a certain collection of Final Fantasy Trading Arts figures. Your books, your pet iguana Abraham, your significant other… why do they have to release so many super-sweet limited edition figures? Why?
You want to get a particular Amiibo, notice that the rest from that series are quite neat too, and before you know it, you’re having to get rid of all kinds of other things to make space. Buckle up, friends, because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.Ī few years back, I was a committed collector of action figures. Now, here’s a super-fun little anecdote for you. If you’re also a member of the Curly and Often Surly About It Club, you’d be glad if it eased a little over the years.
Other than that memorable incident in the potions classroom in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Hermione never achieves those levels of bushiness again. Pictured in this brilliant meme is the Hermione we meet in the first installment, H arry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. As for Emma Watson, this bushy look seems to fade as the movies go on. Characters’ appearances, for another.Īccording to the books, Hermione has a thick, curly, 'Weird Al' Yankovic hairstyle going on.
There are lots of other ways in which movie adaptions can deviate from the source material too. Whole plotlines and characters are sometimes glossed over, or removed completely. Seeing as how only the most dedicated of fans want to sit through a five-hour movie (that’s got ‘bad case of piles’ written all over it), everything’s got to be condensed as much as possible. After all, we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of pages worth of plot, here. As we know, Hollywood are going to have to take certain liberties when adapting a novel for the big screen. The so-called Golden Trio didn’t get off to the best start, as we know, but where in heckles would they have been without Hermione? Join us as we strike a snarky blow for female fantasy characters everywhere, with some of the greatest Hermione memes the web has to offer. When it came to the real magical heavy lifting, most of that was all about one brave woman: Hermione Granger. Harry is a capable wizard, for sure, but he’s also a super lucky one.
After all, when I was twelve, I was barely brave enough to raise my hand in class, so I think destroying a humungous basilisk with a sword (Harry had the sword, not the basilisk it wasn’t waving it around in the weird snake-arms that it doesn’t have) would have been just a little beyond me.Īll I’m saying is, a little plot armour goes a long way. Now, sure, I’m not trying to downplay his accomplishments. As the series progressed, he performed more and more impossible deeds and ridiculous stunts, which just contributed to his fame. We’re talking Chris Pratt levels of celebrity (seriously, is that guy contractually obliged to appear in absolutely every movie ever?). In the magical world, needless to say, Harry is a huge deal. This became an honorary sort of title for him, part of his whole legend. Right from the off, the very first chapter of the very first book was entitled The Boy Who Lived. Not the franchise, you understand, but the bespectacled boy wizard himself. You know, I often think that Harry Potter gets a little too much credit.
