I feel much the same. I think she's a good actress with potential just not as Hermione - although that's down to a poor script and costume choices.

But I also read once on EW.net that she said she hated dark brown hair so dyed it with blonde streaks in between doing CoS & PoA and got into trouble for it. I'm sorry but duh...of course she was going to get into trouble for it when filming is so tightly packed and Hermione is so not supposed to be blonde. lol
