Wow. Way to make yourself look shallow. She’s famous and doesn’t look super hot? Let’s all hate her for that reason! There are people who sexualize her because she is cast in a role that some people grew up with and aged with and thought of as their fictional girlfriend ideal (much like someone my age might have done for Molly Ringwald or someone a generation older would have done for Marilyn Monroe)? I’m sorry, but she has done positively nothing to deserve the hate that she has garnered on the internets. Is she as hot as the random photoshoped pornstar I could look up on Redtube (or RandomNude, shoutout to you Tiki)? No. Is she a successful actress who has chosen respectable parts and gone on to do things past her 15 minutes of fame (like go to college)? Yes. I look forward to what she does (and more importantly what she doesn’t do) after the Harry Potter series. It will be interesting to see what roles she takes.

I’m not glorifying her. I’m just glad that she knows she’ll never be more famous in another role as she is as Hermione, and is planning for what comes next.

Yes, lots of other women have gone to college. Good for them. Post a thread about them and I will say how much better that is than not going to college.

I find it fascinating how you want to hate on someone simply because they fail to be something they never pretended to be in the first place, but you feel they’ve been given too much praise for things you thing they aren’t (like pretty). I’ll repeat that I think it makes you look shallow, and add petty as another adjective.
