*Okay, I see that since Hermione wants Ron to ask her she has good reason to be hurt when he announces he’s going after the prettiest girl he can find (not her), but she’s hardly one to pretend to not care about peoples’ looks.
Yeah, because she's too feminist to get off her self-righteous butt and ask him. Oh, I forgot. In Rowlingland, girls who make the first move with boys are fast-tail skanks (Lavender, Romilda, even Cho). And it's totally appropriate to call them "sluts". Someone on FAP once pointed that in the movie, Hermione had even more nerve expecting Ron to invite her to the dance, after she'd finished pointing and laughing at him when he got those ugly dress robes.
Oh yeah, and I love the double standard of Ron being painted as shallow and superficial for wanting pretty girls, while Harry gets a total pass for dating only the prettiest and most popular girls (Cho, Ginny), because he's The Chosen One, it's his due, and that's what a girl has to have to be "worthy" of him. (Notice that when Harry drops Cho, she has coincidentally lost all of her friends, except for Marietta. I'd even bet that in the unlikely event that Harry decides not to reunite with Ginny, she'll be back to hanging around Neville, Luna, and the Creevey brothers.)
