Hermione (in the books) was supposed to be rather plain looking at first, and then looked amazing at the Yule ball. I didn't like that part.
It was just like in a teen movie where the nerdy girl takes off her glasses for the prom night and *surprise surprise* she's really a supermodel. If there's one thing Superman comics have taught me, it's that glasses and and a different hairstyle can make highly attractive people blend right into a crowd. Yeah right.
If the movies were going for absoute realism, Hermione would probably not be as attractive as Emma Watson. But when I go to see a movie (especially one involving magic) I just suspend my disbelief. And looks aside, Emma plays the part very well.
