Background / History

Hermione was raised in suburban London by two Muggle dentists. Her acceptance to Hogwarts shocked and delighted her; before arriving, she practiced simple spells at home and memorized the school textbooks. Her childhood magic first manifested during an argument, when she made someone she disliked lose all their hair. 10 11 12

She met Andy Collins on the Hogwarts Express. Impressed and intimidated by his Levitation Charm and claims of extensive practice, she resolved to study even harder. Although she initially treated books as unquestionable authority, studying and practicing alongside Andy gradually pushed her toward independent analysis, magical research, and rule-breaking exploration. 10 11 31 202

Hermione became one of Andy's closest companions at Hogwarts. They investigated Ravenclaw's hidden library, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, magical history, the nature of Magic Power, Patronuses, Magical Transformation, and ancient civilizations. 76 77 214 312 661

• Brown hair. 11
• Often carries stacks of books. 47
• Has noticeable buck teeth. 188
• Is initially timid when flying and uncomfortable with heights. 55 203

Personality

Hermione is intensely studious, quick-minded, and exceptionally proud of being prepared. She frequently supports her arguments with information she has read, can recite texts word for word, and suffers visible pre-exam anxiety when she feels insufficiently prepared. 10 11 114 411

She is courageous and curious beneath the façade of a model student. Though cautious about laws and consequences, she willingly joins forbidden investigations, enters the Chamber of Secrets, considers using the Imperius Curse to test a theory, and explores the Room of Requirement with Andy. 187 214 268 350

Hermione has a strong moral and political conscience. Her Muggle background makes her especially hostile toward blood-purity ideology and sensitive to the history of Muggle persecution. She ultimately declares her ambition to become Minister of Magic and reform the closed, backward Wizarding World. 77 197 667
