Dark ops: There are Camp Halfblood shirts AT HOT TOPIC!! If the producers were lazy enough not to make them, they could have just waited and ordered them from Hot Topic before fliming the camp (which was overall ruined)...

And I agree with meepsiii, her personality was ruined (maybe they tried to factor in her Fatal Flaw waaaay too much) probably through a combo of writers and her sub-par acting abilities (for me personally, but few can live up to that [maybe I should lower them, idk]; maybe she just looked worse because better actors were in the movie). Plus, they needed a better sword-choreographer for her (she came off as quite wimpy to me, not "badass").

Sure if they found had a blonde, I would be happy, but I am fine with them changing physical characteristics; if you kill the personality, you killed the book, which they did to a nice chunk of the characters.
