If you've read the books, you know that Harry is rather understated throughout the novels (so far) and Radcliff is playing him very nicely along those lines. Harry always seems a bit intimidated by the reputation that preceeds him, that somehow he must be a great wizard. I don't see him buying that story.

It's rather a shame that the powers that be felt they had to go with such a good looking girl, when it was fairly clear in the book that Hermione wasn't. She has buck teeth and in my mind, looked far more like my own friends than someone who would more likely have been the most popular girl in school.

Where did you get the idea that Hermione has buck teeth? I don't recall seeing that. And if you read the novels, you learn that each year she is maturing as an attractive young woman. Rather like the young heroine in Northanger Abbey, which I've been rereading this week. :)
