Although it was a matter of just one movie, Emma Watson admitted how the messy hair became her major regret from the billion-dollar franchise. Meanwhile, despite Watson’s regret and insecurity, fans embraced the frizz as an iconic part of Hermione Granger’s charm that shone so brightly that it almost dimmed the spotlight for Harry and Ron.
Hermione’s Frizzy Hair Became Emma Watson’s Biggest Regret
Despite her brilliance shining brightly as the Lumos spell in theHarry Potteruniverse, Emma Watson, who brought Hermione Granger to life, once confessed that her biggest regret from the first film was, ironically, her hair. Speaking withVogue Italiaand reflecting on her magical journey, Watson expressed her deep-seated insecurity about her bushy and curly hair.
“She kind of told me to get a grip”: Emma Watson is Forever Indebted to 1 Harry Potter Co-Star for Sage Advice That Every Actor Should Follow Including Johnny Depp
Although she appreciates the role that propelled her to success, Emma Watson couldn’t help but regret her hair inHarry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.The very curls that fans adored and which became iconic to Hermione’s look were the source of some serious hair-raising angst for Watson herself. The actress implied being less thanenchanted by her frizzy hair.
When I see the images of the first Harry Potter, I immediately think of how ugly my hair was.
Well, although Emma Watson claimed to be self-conscious about her initial hairstyle, this very frizzy coiffure turned into a fan-favorite character. Considering how Hermione’s bushy hair was a defining characteristic, accurately adapted fromJ.K. Rowling’s beloved book series, fans described her hairstyle as “frizz-tastic” inHarry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Further, due to the limited liberties of film adaptations, even theHarry Potterfranchise failed to prove their fealty to J.K. Rowling’s novels. Therefore, considering how the films deviated from most of the magical elements in the books, fans claimed to appreciate Hermione Granger’s hair, which was at least book-accurate. Unfortunately, even that was changed fromChamber of Secrets.
The Book Accurate Hermione Almost Dimmed Harry and Ron’s Spark
FollowingEmma Watson‘s comments about her hairstyle from the first film, as fans began reminiscing about the time, they admitted how the initial depiction of Hermione Granger was better than what the character evolved into. Highlighting howSorcerer’s Stonenot only portrayed the book-accurate hair but also showcased her brilliance and bossy nature in the best possible way, fans hailed the initial enchantment of her character.
“It got really obvious as the movies went on”: The Harry Potter Movies are Guilty of a Terrible Crime Against Emma Watson’s Hermione That Was So Obvious It Should’ve Been Caught Sooner
Apparently, fans believe that the initial depiction of Hermione took on a larger-than-life persona, one that sometimes overshadowed her best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Potterheads reflected on how the movies, much like a magical airbrush, highlighted Hermione’s sparkle, leaving Harry andRon to blend into the backgroundlike a pair of forgettable house elves.
Thankfully, since Harry was the protagonist, he skipped the possibility of being dimmed. Otherwise, considering how Hermione became a beacon of brilliance and bravery in the first film, Harry would have gotten relegated to supporting roles much like Ron, whose humor and heart took a backseat throughout the franchise.
Harry Potterfilms are currently available to watch on Max.
