* Hermione Granger from the ''HarryPotter'' movies is a big source of debate amongst fans. She is described as plain in the books with bushy brown hair and large front teeth. The films have Emma Watson who starts out cute and, as she ages, becomes positively stunning in the role. But the books are in Harry's perspective and he simply doesn't find her attractive (most likely because she's [[RaceFetish not Asian]] or [[HeroesWantRedheads a redhead]]) and the only one who outright says she's ugly is AlphaBitch Pansy Parkinson (though she doesn't seem to deny Ginny is pretty. Saying that a lot of boys like her and telling Blaise Zabini that even he finds her attractive). Harry actually does say in a later book that he doesn't think she's ugly. And it's also worth noting that from age 14, Hermione started to attract admirers in Viktor Krum, Cormac [=McLaggen=] and of course [[OfficialCouple Ron Weasley]] so she can't have been a total Plain Jane. And if you want to get technical, she is never said in the movies to not be pretty.
** Actually, she's referred to as "homely but ambitious girl" in "The Goblet of Fire" film, in the article Rita Skeeter publishes. Kind of awkward considering Emma Watson is in no way homely. 
*** Then again that is [[AlphaBitch Rita Skeeter]]

A couple of things: The show doesn't go into such lengths to describe how ugly Brienne is, so show Brienne might be better looking. The men of that era would have found her hideous anyway, being so completely unfeminine in their eyes. Third, the actress herself isn't a knock-out...honestly, she's fairly average, and taking off the make-up and removing eyebrows doesn't help.
