Headline: Fat people discovered to have sex lives; world aghast.

ani_bester complains of InexplicablyThin!Peter, and I quite agree with her. Let him be fat. Let Neville and Dudley be fat as well, while you're at it. When you write these characters having sex, it isn't necessary to excuse yourself by pointedly noting a convenient over-the-summer weight loss.

That is all.

Right! Chicks dig Peter, and he doen't have to be skinny for that. Peter! :D

And it might even have been canonically contradicted, but I'd always pictured Hermione as slightly pudgy, too (If you're a know-it-all dentist's kid with big teeth, there're better things for kids to make fun of than a little fat), and everyone writes her in sex.

I don't think anything is mentioned about Hermione's weight, so I always pictured her being about average. (Which, sadly, is often considered "not skinny enough" for girls.) Certainly with more body fat than Emma Watson, who's quite thin these days.

Deeply, frightenly true. And yes, Emma is a slip of a girl, but that may be because she is growing fast( she was a bit rounder cheeked in the last movie, which is the case with little children.)
