This never made sense to me.

In the books, she was supposed to be so pretty, even the Slytherins found her attractive.

But in the movies...omg. At best she was plain.

Seems to be that Witches are kind of on the ugly side, so an average looking girl might seem like a knockout.

And on the flip side - Look at Hermione in the movies, and she was one of the most ugly ones at the school

She was like 10 when they cast her, how were they meant to know how attractive she would become?

Conversely, dumpy little Matthew Lewis turned into a 7' stud

I'm not too familiar with the lore; are they supposed to generally not care about looks, or something?

12-year-old-ish me thought she was hot as fuck at the time. And present-day me thinks present-day Bonnie Wright is hot as fuck.

(No, mods, I'm not 12; I'm talking about when I was.)

The problem with the movies is that due to time restraints they always cut Ginny's character development out so it feels super forced when Harry and Ginny randomly start falling for each other in movie 6.
In the books it's a much more.natural and it makes sense why they like each other.

They all basically have the evil pureblood mentality so they hate the Weasley's since they're one of the few remaining pureblood wizard families and choose to associate with muggles and mudbloods. Them saying Ginny is attractive would be against the hating them thing.

Me too.

As for Ginny, a big part of the problem is that they cast Emma Watson as Hermione-- because she's way too good pretty for the plain Jane girl from the books.

Oh yeah, I forgot how Ginny was basically the hottest girl at school in the books.

Anyway, yeah, best girl was Luna.

This topic is so weird. You do realize they were children when they were cast, not even teenagers. I really hope sex appeal didnt come into the consideration.

It doesnt have to be sex appeal, just cute kid and that one looks like they got hit with a shovel.

I was just disappointed that she wasn't a very good actor. Whenever there was a scene with her in the later films, it was super cringe because the rest of the cast were powerhouses (sans Radcliffe), and she seemed really out of her element.

None of them are good actors IMO. Its no surprise none of them work consistently or get big roles. Radcliffe and Watson are probably the best of the bunch but theyre nothing special and definitely coast on name recognition.

im pretty sure the main 3 still make enough off royalties that they dont even have to work if they dont want to. Radcliffe said thats why he does so much weird stuff, hes already set for life so he can do whatever he wants

While thats true its hardly unique for hollywood movie stars, the point is I dont think anyone is knocking down their door to be leads in their films.

Bonny is pretty, she's just overshadowed by Emma. Which as has been stated countless times is funny since Hermione is supposed to be the average looking nerdy one
