I think I don't share most of your quibbles with it except that sometimes the stage direction did read a little weird.
I actually liked the version of Hermione that was so cold and mean. I can see that as an extrapolation of her character. She wasn't very well liked by the other students until Ron and Harry decided to defend her. She can be very strident and bossy, and I can see that if she ever got pushed out of that friend group (even just by default, by not wanting to hang around Ron all the time while he's dating someone else) that she'd be a loner and all her worst qualities would come to the fore.
