Maybe I need to read the books more to get this answer, but maybe others can help too. In the school play I am in, playing Hermione (all boys school) as I read the script (which is changing a bit) it seems that although she is a girl, her actions and words are not too girlish. IMO the script has simplied her a bit too much from what I remember and tried to reduce her in some parts to a more typical girl (in one scene I step back behind Harry and Ron and have to grab Ron's arm). But in some ways you could picture her saying the same words and doing the same things as maybe a guy too. So I am wondering how to play that she is a girl without going too over the top and not doing her justice. Does that make sense?
What would you say Hermione's female characteristics are and would it be best to play them, giving that this may come down to little actions and mannerisms more than major actions and words.
Right now I see the girl as secondary to Hermione's over all character - is that fair?
