When you watch the Harry Potter films, you’re likely enthralled with Hermione Granger’s mastery over magic and her hardcore dedication to her enchanted education as a student of (the sadly fictional) Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You may have also noticed that in the first movie Hermione had a slightly disheveled hairstyle that seemed to reflect the notion that she cared more about her studies than her appearance.
However, when Emma Watson, who played the young spell caster, looks back at the film, it turns out that her hair is what she sees first. In fact, it’s her major regret when it comes to the movie. “When I see the images of the first Harry Potter, I immediately think of how ugly my hair was,” Watson told Vogue Italia (via Time) in 2015.
Thankfully for Watson, she’s experienced a stunning transformation over the years. And frankly, according to the star, “feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like,” so perhaps she can look past her hair the next time she sees an early image of herself as the undeniably adorable Hermione.
