Yup. They probably realized making her happy was the way to get her to stay on board. They should have just let her quit after movie three, though.
I used to blame the filmmakers for what they did to Hermione but then I learned that Emma Watson played a part in it. She even said that she “hated” Hermione’s hair in the first movie. I will never forgive her for that.
Tom Felton got bullied for the blonde hair and Harry Melling had to wear a fat suit too. And don’t even get me started on what they did to Rupert Grint. They purposely made him look as ridiculous as possible and killed his character. So why did Emma get special treatment? Lmao, fuck her.
I heard that Emma Watson criticised the bushy hair several years later, although she had no real problems with it at the time. Not sure about the wool jumpers thing, though.
But, from what I’ve gathered, she certainly got more privileges than her other young co-actors (being allowed to change her character’s visual appearance, writing some of her own lines, etc.).
I’m surprised to hear that Tom Felton got bullied for the blonde hair, though.
