Is there any source for this assumtion of criticism against his depictions of Ron and Hermione? Emily 02:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the paragraph (which follows) since no one has responded. Regardless of attribution, it doesn't really say much about Kloves. --Mrwojo 00:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Although the film adaptations of the Harry Potter films have generally won over the majority of fans, Kloves has been criticized by some for his adaptations. In particular, criticisms have focused on his interpretations of the characters of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, with the former taking on much more of a comic role in the films while the latter becomes more serious and adventurous and "tough". Many of Ron's more serious lines of dialogue are given to Hermione in Kloves' screenplays. Some fans have taken offense to this because they feel it throws off the group dynamic and also the dynamic of the romance between Hermione and Ron, since Ron is often depicted as a bumbling, cowardly idiot not worthy of her affection.
