6. Harry Potter Films - Make Them About Hermione
Now, there wasn't much they could do here, because they're based off of the book series. Harry is "the chosen one" Hermione is just the friend of the savior of the magical world. However, lets do a little analysis here. Emma Watson's Hermione Granger is the smartest witch of her time, hard-working, loyal and more than a little snobbish. She's the one who does all the work to aid Harry in his heroic ventures. At the end of the day, she comes off as the most three-dimensional of the leads. It may be due to Watson conveying Hermione better than Daniel Radcliff's Harry Potter, but nonetheless Hermione works the hardest and is rarely thanked in kind for doing her part. It would have been a radical departure, but Hermione has the more interesting story in retrospect. A sheltered youth who has to overcome her capacity for being a know-it-all in order to connect with her peers. Isn't that more intriguing than a boy praised literally from birth and accepted as the second-coming in the magical world? What we got was a bland and oddly passive main hero, seemingly just going through the motions of having his destiny already known the whole time.
