Interesting. I was really referring to the movie rather than the book in my comment. I've always liked Hermione a lot in the books. I agree that intellectuals can be emotional too, and that there is nothing wrong with that...it's just that she was the only one who was very emotional (in the movie), and she appeared that way in just about every scene she was in.

I forgave her, though, because the author was trying to show that she had feelings for Ron, and the uncertainty of knowing what Ron's feelings were for her put her into that understandable conflicted state. Intellectuals have feelings, too, and even they go through puberty. Anger can create tears, too. (Why can't that dimwitted guy express his true emotions?) Maybe the key words in the last sentence of your comment are "on the verge of." Hermione's very insightful comment at the end of GoF, "Everything is going to change now," might not only have to do with the rising danger in their world, but also with leaving childhood behind for the uncharted territory of unpredictable hormones.

I was disappointed with how she was portrayed in GoF, though, as she appeared to be constantly on the verge of tears -- very emotional. I really like Hermione, too.
