Hermione Granger is my favorite

Hermione Jean Granger is the only daughter of two Muggle dentists. Hermione is academically gifted and spends much time studying, doing homework, and other class-related things during the year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hermione often serves as the voice of reason when her two best friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley get themselves into interesting or dangerous situations. Although seemingly always stressed due to schooling, Hermione is dependable when called upon, and is extremely adept at accomplishing things correctly and efficiently.

Hermione has a rather bossy voice, bushy brown hair, and large front teeth, which she later has magically shrunk. Her birthday is September 19th. She was eleven-years-old at the start of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, turning twelve shortly thereafter, making her almost a year older than Harry, and six months older than Ron; internal evidence suggests she was born in 1979.

Hermione's wand is vine with a Dragon heartstring core. Vine can represent great bounty, renewal, and also extreme emotions such as joy and anger. And while Dragons are often considered as evil beasts, they also symbolize strength, purification, wisdom, renewal, and power. The wood in Hermione's wand's also reflects her September 19 birth date, in which vine is the Celtic Tree Calendar's September 2 - September 29 cycle.

Hermione's greatest strength is a vast intellect combined with her magical ability. Her magical skills, have, throughout the series, aided Harry and Ron on many occasions. As she is generally caring, compassionate, and usually adopts a "rule-abiding" point-of-view, Hermione often presents Harry and Ron with alternative approaches to their situations. Her intelligence, while initially more academic, has increasingly been combined with her magical skills, helping her become a skilled duelist, capable of battling far more experienced Death Eaters, as she demonstrated in the battle at the Department of Mysteries, and later in the final battle at Hogwarts. In her age group, apparently only Harry outperforms her in Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Gyrffindor, a House known for bravery, initially seems an unusual choice for Hermione. Given her great burgeoning intellect, Ravenclaw would seem more suitable. But the Sorting Hat can detect unseen characteristics within students that they are as yet unaware exist. While Hermione is as intelligent as any Ravenclaw, she will gradually demonstrate courage they may lack by practically applying her knowledge and pursuing her beliefs, even when mocked or faced with difficult obstacles.

Hermione is also logical, quick thinking, and adaptable. Her cool demeanor, even when under duress, prevents her from panicking while quickly devising a solution to most problems. She is also naturally adept in organization and planning, which culminates in her brilliant preparations for the Trio's Horcrux mission during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

At times, Hermione's intellect has prevented her from making the same connections about other people and their motives that Ron, and especially Harry, instinctively sense. Her adherence and reliance on "rules" often causes deep conflicts with her intuitive belief that they may sometimes be wrong. She will break rules if she believes it serves a greater purpose, and though she often feels guilty about this, as she matures, it bothers her much less. Hermione is self-conscious about her physical appearance, though she blossoms into an attractive young woman. Her greatest fear is failure — her Boggart was Professor McGonagall telling her she had "failed everything," and she was upset when she missed one O (Outstanding) on her O.W.L.s, earning the next-best grade of an E (Exceeds Expectations) in Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Being a Gryffindor, Hermione certainly has a brave and noble character, and always has the courage to speak her mind on important issues, but she can be timid and uncertain when there is physical danger. Her rather bossy personality, and somewhat superior and erudite manner, were initially off-putting to both Harry and Ron (and other classmates), though her insecurity and self-doubt may partially have been the cause. As she matures, these traits have become subdued somewhat, and she instead uses her intellect and leadership skills to help guide the others.

Hermione is an integral part of "the Trio", but unlike Harry, who is the "hero", and Ron, the "sidekick", her role is more difficult to define, though she is the stabilizing force among the three. It is clear that, without her vast intellect and meticulous planning, the other two would never have succeeded in Dumbledore's quest to find and destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. Whereas Harry begins losing faith in Dumbledore, and Ron loses faith in Harry (causing him to temporarily depart the quest), Hermione remains steadfast, determined, and loyal to Harry, and always believing in Dumbledore and his mission. In some ways, she assumes Dumbledore's role, gently guiding Harry and Ron with her logical, wise advice, while keeping her eye on the ultimate goal: defeating Voldemort. However, Hermione's erudite, bossy, and overly cautious personality can annoy both Harry and Ron, though these traits soften somewhat over time.

Of the Trio, Hermione seems the most rational, though she is occasionally high-strung. She is consistently the best student at Hogwarts in almost every subject and would almost certainly have become Head Girl had she stayed at Hogwarts for her seventh year. Failure is Hermione's deepest fear, and she seems to have a near obsessive-compulsive drive to achieve the highest marks and to follow all rules, though she has gradually mellowed with regard to the latter in later books, if she feels it is justified.

That's why Hermione Granger is my favorite.

i think Snape grew on me more. He's a deep character.

Snape.

Really goes to show that just because someone isn’t friendly doesn’t mean they aren’t a good person. He sacrificed a lot to help the good guys win.

Was a little cringe that he never found love after his unrequited life died but I’m willing to over-look it.

Some of the most superficially nice people you meet are actually really bad people.

Can’t judge a book by its cover.

Wasn't he genuinely a bad guy though. I thought he originally joined Voldermort because he wanted to and only defected when he found out Harry's mom was gonna die
