Harry Potter - Granger Geeks: Because She's Perfect...er- Prefect

Intrceptr350 · 04-05-2004, 01:07 PM

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 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. 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 good 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.

Quote:

"It's S-P-E-W. Stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare."
***
"I was going to put Stop the Outrageous Abuse of Our Fellow Magical Creatures and Campaign for a Change in Their Legal Status - but it wouldn't fit..."

- GOF ch20

The years have been kind to her as well. Though oftentimes dismissed by Ron and Harry as "one of the boys" by her fourth year, she has proven that she is indeed a pretty GIRL,

Quote:

"Hermione, Neville's right - you are a girl. . . ."
Ron, GOF ch22

=======================================================
Krum was at the front of the party, accompanied by a pretty girl in blue robes Harry didn't know.
***
His eyes fell instead on the girl next to Krum. His jaw dropped.

It was Hermione.

But she didn't look like Hermione at all. She had done something with her hair; it was no longer bushy but sleek and shiny, and twisted up into an elegant knot at the back of her head. She was wearing robes made of a floaty, periwinkle-blue material, and she was holding herself differently, somehow - or maybe it was merely the absence of the twenty or so books she usually had slung over her back. She was also smiling -rather nervously, it was true - but the reduction in the size of her front teeth was more noticeable than ever; Harry couldn't understand how he hadn't spotted it before.

- GOF ch23

catching the attention of famous international Quidditch superstar, Triwizard champion and hero of the Quidditch World Cup, Viktor Krum.

Quote:

"I vant to know," he (Krum) said, glowering, "vot there is between you and Hermy-own-ninny."
***
He (Harry) couldn't quite believe he was having this conversation with Viktor Krum, the famous International Quidditch player. It was as though the eighteen-year-old Krum thought he., Harry, was an equal - a real rival -
- GOF ch28
=======================================================
'He didn't only want to be your pen-pal,' said Ron accusingly.
OoTP ch16

Speaking of Hermione's love life...

Quote:

"I've been asked this by so many people. It's so embarrassing. 'Ah, so you're going out with Daniel?' 'No.' 'Ah, so you have the hots for Rupert?' 'No.' I think I'm going to be single and I think Hermione will wind up single. I do."
- Emma Watson

I'm sorry, but we have to disagree with that, now, don't we?
*wink*

As "the #######" of the series and basically the only girl around tons of available guys, Hermione became known as "the most shippable" HP character. Fans have been known to read and re-read the books numerous times and spot these so-called "Hermione's shippy moments"

There's

Justin Finch-Fletchey : "And you're Hermione Granger, always top in everything"

Terry Boot: "With a mind like yours, you should be in Ravenclaw"

Oliver Wood: "He could have kissed her."

Neville Longbottom: "She's always been really nice, helping him out with work and stuff- "

"Professor" Remus J. Lupin: "You're the cleverest witch of your age I've ever met, Hermione."

Viktor Krum: "He'd never felt the same way about anyone else."

Sounds like she has quite the impact doesn't she?

But the most popular thus far is pairing her with everyone's favorite
Blonde, Brunette (technically raven- haired) and Red head.

[img]smilies/star.gif[/img] Miss Emma Watson [img]smilies/star.gif[/img]

Ms. Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson's first foray into the world of professional acting came at the tender age of 10, when she made her superb debut in Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, though her natural ability has been evident since an early age with highly praised performances in several school productions.

Inspite of her inexperience as a professional actor and the fact that it's often said she's "too cute" to play the "supposedly" plain Hermione, Emma portrayed her adorably, making it possible for us all to see a litle of ourselves in her character, and earning rave reviews from critics and fans alike.

TRIVIA: Although she played the part of bosy know-it-all quite effectively onscreen, in real life, Emma is a bit shy.

Quote:

KNEBWORTH, England -- Emma Watson can seem so poised, so self-possessed that it's hard to remember she's only 11 years old.
Until, that is, she is seen stepping outside for a walk and a quick cry, taking a break from dozens of media interviews scheduled back-to-back for two days.
***
She answered questions with perfectly polished paragraphs and seemed to brim with confidence.
"It's nice that it comes across like that. Really, inside I'm shaking my head off," she says, her dark blonde hair freed from the twin braids she wore earlier.

So we'll ignore how long it took to do this opening post becasue in Sade'sinfinite wisdom she decides to alphabetize EVERYTHING...

Hence the reason she is a GEEK. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

But it is convienient, I'll give her that. If you need to get a hold of a fellow geek just click on the name and it will direct you to their profile.

Too easy, no?

If you're name hasn't been linked I'm working on it. If you don't see your name on the list and would like to be a Granger Geek just PM me and I'll add you asap.

Thank you's

Thank you to: BuffyAngelFan04 (Jessie), Just Tracy (Tracy), scabbers9 (Jo), and Ashley_316 for the banners. To Sade for organizing the opening post
...and to Kathy for having the patience to do it. *wink*

Also, you'll notice that some pics didn't show. Cause these pics no longer work so if anybody has a any, would you mind sending them my way?

Scabbers9 was awesome enough to open her own Emma Watson site filled with tons of amazing pics. You can find them at www.Emma-Watson.net

If anyone else has some great Emma Watson sites to share, by all means send 'em, and I'll see if I can add them to the opening post. (as if it wasn't complicated enough [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

Whew!

I would like to blame you, Kathy, for almost making me go against my personal rule of NOT posting one-liners. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

But my Obsessive Compulsiveness just won't allow me to click on "post reply" until I reach my minimum word count [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] and my other personal posting rule of actually saying something substancial [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] so as not to waste thread space [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

::thinks of something important / insightful / Emma related to say::

Oh, yeah, since we were on the subject of Emma's upcoming birthday in the previous thread, I would like to point everyone to the various fan projects for Emma's birthday:

our fellow Granger Geek, Jo's (aka Scabbers9) on-line birthday wishes scrapbook: Emma-Watson.net
send fanart, poems and more! Spellbinder's project
SnitchSeeker's scrapbook
S.P.E.W. Project
[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] there are actually dozens of Birthday Projects that was planned, but those are the only ones I can remember now... But since it's only about 10 days until her birthday, I think most of their submission times have passed up.... in light of this, if you want to send Emma your Birthday greetings, I think it would be best if you just send them to her official address:

Emma Watson
c/o HP Production
Leavesden Studios
P.O.Box 3000
Leavesden, Herfordshire
WD2 7LT

Well, that's all for now...
