Okay, maybe this has already been pointed out and wanked over, but I just turned on the television and I see these three kids running about having time-travelling adventures and they look like this:



(The show's called Time Warp Trio.)

And the frizzy-haired girl's bossy and the red-haired boy's kind of the comic relief and the black-haired boy's trying to keep them all focused.

Um, this raised no eyebrows at the tv networks? Or is this one of those R.A.B. things--you only think it's obvious if you're deep in the fandom?

I think the execs were probably thrown off because the girl is black. OTOH, we don't know what Hermione's ethnicity is, so who knows? But no, you're not crazy.

And I suddenly have this urge to see if anyone's written something where Hermione has a Creole ancestor, or something.

Thing is, the girl has that sort of "let's change only her skin tone so she's not white" appearance, if you see what I mean. Which makes it easy to see her as Hermione only with darker skin.

First ~ apologies for butting into a conversation in progress when I'm only a lurker and fanfic follower. I swear I usually don't do this. Second ~ I just wanted to say I agree with you and I think the appearances of the cartoon characters are strikingly similar to the HP trio. Whether the similarity is deliberate or not, I have no clue. LoL What you wrote regarding Hermione is a valid point hence the PhotoShop redo below. Again, apologies for inserting my two cents & deplorable PSP skills.

There we go, look at that! It's perfectly visible! (And your Photoshop skills are definitely better 'n mine!)
