| Granger Geeks {Hermione Appreciation} ~ 'She has got to be one of my all-time favourite literary heroines' ~ Emma Welcome to the 6th Granger Geeks Thread  Credit to PrettyAn ~*Hermione Jean Granger*~ Brunette, bushy-haired and formerly bucktoothed, Hermione was at first a bossy know-it-all who irritated Ron and Harry tremendously, that is until a shared traumatic experience with a troll. After that, she became an appreciated and vital part of "the trio". Though often referred to as "the brain" of the outfit, she is also "the glue" that holds the three of them together (especially when Ron and Harry fight) Hermione, an only child, was born to muggle parents who happened to be both dentists, oblivious to the excistence of the wizarding world until the arrival of her letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where she was later sorted into Gryffindor. But her muggle upbringing did not hinder her from being the top of her class, knowing charms above her level, and casting jinxes that even highly trained witches can't counter. As the best student Hogwarts has seen for many a year, she can be uptight about rules and school work, she often chastised Harry and Ron's constant and often careless rule-breaking. But although she has "loosened up" a great deal in recent years, she has kept a gooin thd head on her shoulders. Now, she doesn't hessitate to "bend" a few rules if she knows it's necessary for a good cause. She has also developed a social conscience. During her fourth year she makes great humanitarian efforts towards house elf liberation. The years have been kind to her as well. Though often at times dismissed by Ron and Harry as "one of the boys" by her fourth year, she has proven that she is indeed a pretty GIRL, catching the attention of famous international Quidditch superstar, Triwizard champion and hero of the Quidditch World Cup, Viktor Krum, Cormac McLaggen. And her future husband, Ron Weasley who she would have two children with, Rose and Hugo. ~*Interesting Information*~ * Hermione is the oldest of the trio, as she was 12 when she first came to Hogwarts * Hermione's last name was originally "Puckle", a word used to describe a goblin/elf-like creature, but J.K. Rowling changed it saying that "it didn't suit her character". * Hermione’s name was taken from Shakespeare’s "A Winter’s Tale", though J.K. Rowling stated that she bears little relation to that Hermione. * Hermione is a caricature of a young J.K. Rowling (at roughly age 11) * Hermione's worst fear (as shown by her boggart) is failure * Hermione's wand is made of vine wood with a dragon heartstring core. Vine is the wood ascribed to Hermione's birth month (September) on the Celtic Calander. She later had a Walnut, 12¾", dragon heartstring * Hermione is better than Harry at every subject except Defence Against the Dark Arts and Quidditch. * Hermione's Patronus is a "shining silver otter". J.K. Rowling revealed that the Otter is her favourite animal. * If Hermione looked in the mirror of Erised she would see herself happy with her friends and Voldemort defeated, though J.K. also said that she might also see herself closely entwined with another person *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* * J.K. Rowling has stated that if she needs to tell the readers something, she will usually let Hermione or Dumbledore explain it. * If Harry and Hermione were to duel, Hermione would've won prior to Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry would win post Prisoner of Azkaban * Hermione is an only child. J.K. considered giving her a sister, but there "wasn't enough time for it". If a sister had've been included in the story, she would've been a muggle. * J.K. Rowling also stated that the earliest drafts of Philosopher's Stone had the Potters living on a remote island. Hermione's dad sees an explosion out at sea, sails out and finds their bodies in the ruins of their house. * Hermione's family were never really focused on because they are an ordinary muggle family and off no real importance to the story. * Hermione was made a prefect in her 5th year * Her occupation is Department of Magical Law Enforcement  Credit to Kelli Hermione Quotes Favorite Quotes by and about Hermione Granger Draco talking about Hagrid: "Look at him blubber! Have you ever seen anything quite as pathetic?" said Malfoy. "And he's supposed to be our teacher!" Harry and Ron both made furious moves toward Malfoy, but Hermione got there first -- SMACK! She had slapped Malfoy across the face with all the strength she could muster. Malfoy staggered. Harry, Ron, Crabbe, and Goyle stood flabbergasted as Hermione raised her hand again. "Hermione!" said Ron weakly, and he tried to grab her hand as she swung it back. "Get off, Ron!" Hermione pulled out her wand. Malfoy stepped backward. Crabbe and Goyle looked at him for instructions, thoroughly bewildered. "C' mon," Malfoy muttered, and in a moment, all three of them had disappeared into the passageway to the dungeons ******************** Professor Lupin: "You're the cleverest witch of your age I've ever met, Hermione." ******************** "Grawp's about sixteen feet tall, enjoys ripping up twenty-foot pine trees, and knows me," she snorted, "as Hermy." ******************** "Oh Harry, don't you see? If she could have done one thing to make absolutely sure that every single person in this school will read your interview, it was banning it!" ******************** Hermione drew herself to her full height; her eyes were narrowed and her hair seemed to crackle with electricity. "No," she said, her voice quivering with anger, "but I will write to your mother." ******************** They were so busy that Hermione had stopped knitting elf hats and was fretting that she was down to her last three. "All those poor elves I haven't set free yet, having to stay over during Christmas because there aren't enough hats!" ******************** "Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have." ******************** "The fates have informed me that your examination in June will concern the Orb, and I am anxious to give you sufficient practice. Hermione snorted. "Well honestly... 'the fates have informed her'... Who sets the exam? She does!" ******************** "Twitchy little ferret, aren't you, Malfoy?" ******************** "Malfoy's got detention! I could sing." ******************** "I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed - or worse, expelled. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed." ******************** "At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent." ******************** "Please, Professor McGonagall--they were looking for me." "Miss Granger!" Hermione had managed to get to her feet at last. "I went looking for the troll because I--I thought I could deal with it on my own--you know, because I've read all about them." ******************** "Harry--you're a great wizard, you know." "I'm not as good as you," said Harry, very embarrassed, as she let him go. "Me!" said Hermione. "Books! And cleverness! There are more important things--friendship and bravery and--oh Harry--be careful!" ******************** "I will not calm down!" ********************  Credit to JustAddColor ~*The Geeks*~ *~Catrina~ * dawnie@ * heaven85 * Intrceptr350 * XxSh0rTiiE08 * mandine * Atomic Winter In My Soul * Josephine Leery * summer_17 * buffyandspike4ever * Anck-Su-Namum * AC_love * GracesAngel * bones_em_temp * lies and lullabies * `Harmony` * penguinsrpals * onetreehill1216 * chughes * ~Natali~ * Plop * LoVe-Story * Amy * Sternbetrachter * -cuckoo bananas- * Hermione Weasley * SnarkySarcastic * ~Phoenix~ * Under -the- Blue * Pixie B * * Miss Fate * snatches of sunshine * loveslullaby *sethamgal*carraboo**preenad __________________ Last edited by heaven85; 02-20-2011 at 12:47 AM. | |||
