DH Audiobook & Hermione

[lightofdaye]

So I've been following up my listening to the Half Blood Prince audio book with listening to Stephen Fry read Deathly Hallows, and while I'm not usually one to go for the "lol wand = penis" thing, this quote out of context did make me snigger:

"No wonder I can't get it out, Hermione, you packed my old jeans, they're tight"

Plot bunny for anyone who's actually capable of writing right now: Hermione likes seeing Ron in tight jeans but it causes problems later.

The other thing I've been noticing, that i'd seen commented on before and not really seen when reading to the books; is how different Hermione seems. As it she quite frequently seems to panic, or mess up or just plain burst into tears. I've only reached the bit where they're talking to Kreacher at Grimmauld place but still.

I don't know whether its supposed to show that Harry's the real hero and not her, or show that she's not coping as well with out the safety net of dumbledore/being at school, or just its done inadvertently while showing off how's Ron is now trying to be sensitive and supportive and all that jazz.

But it does strike me as weird.

I know they have to condense to fit but so many crucial details were left out or altered that it annoyed me. The Harry/Ginny romance was so rubbish. They ignored Ginny for the whole series then shove her at Harry at the last minute and they somehow have this epic romance.
