I'm already in it.

Tweedle Dee being an Eastern Indian Brit wasn't the target audience
for the HP *movies*. This is one viable, necessary reason for the
movies being as they are. They were primarily targeting
American/English speaking young girls (8-18).

Here is where Hermione became Hermione/Emma. Emma was directed a
particular way that works for the target audience. The fact that she
grew into a beautiful young women was a major plus for the boys and
for the target audience.

One thing Rowling knows how to do is lie with a straight face. The
article where she claims to have picked Klokes because of his "Emma is
my fav" comment is old fluff being rehashed as new fluff.

I have no doubt that Rowling = Hermione and I have less doubt that she
was thrilled with Emma's portrayal which won over the little girlies.
Not the quality, there wasn't much chance for freelance acting, but
what came across the screen.

Draco, if you had not been kicked out of COS, Snitchseeker and other
forums ;0) you might see that Emma is looked up to by this target
audience. /This/ is what made HP the movies. No Emma (or equally
talented, directable and intellectual young actor), no HP movie
succcess in america. Jo Rowling is cut short with only her book
millions. ;)

I can read, I lurk, I got kicked out for not playing like a girl.
Rowling ought to give Emma several million in thanks. Bet she won't.
