Hermione Granger is the tritagonist of the *Harry Potter* series*.* In the film adaption she is played by Emma Watson.

## Personality

Hermione was intelligent, clever and wise, always getting her friends out of trouble with her brains and using her logic and observant personality to apply to the real world. Hermione was a compassionate girl, and cared about her friends, family and House Elves, even feeling concerned when Draco Malfoy was attacked and tried to frame Hagrid. She was intellectually curious and studious, even using a time turner in her third year. Hermione was also wise, and valued friendship and bravery above all else, being sorted into Gryffindor. She also knew that fighting is never the first thing to do.

Hermione was usually calm and fearless, and though she shows mild panic in life threatening situations, she always had the backs of her friends, demonstrating bravery, courage, and extreme loyalty. However, there are times when Hermione could be blunt, argumentative, opinionated, bossy, and interfering, such as her conflicts with Ron and her dislike of the superstitions of Luna Lovegood. Though she could be uptight, organized, or critical, Hermione was able to show her loving and caring side when she let loose. She had a sisterly effect on her friends, playful when she could be, but also bossy. Hermione was extremely witty, sassy, and bold, and always stood up to bullies. Whenever she was upset with Ron, she was known to through in a witty comment, and often used sass to get Malfoy to back off. She was very determined and focused, and disliked Ron's laziness, and was extremely mature and responsible, and, much like her friend Ginny Weasley, a motherly approach on her children.

## Physical Appearance

Hermione had bushy golden brown hair, brown eyes and rather large front teeth. She was presumably pretty, as she was a stunningly beautiful girl at the Yule Ball, and the only things she had changed were her hair and teeth. She never put much attention into her appearance, but dressed up when the time came, such as the Yule Ball and Bill and Fleur's wedding.

## Concept and creation

Hermione was created by JK Rowling, who also based the character off herself as a child.

During early developments of the novel, Hermione was always called Hermione Granger. The reason of choosing such an uncommon name as Hermione for the character is because, according to Rowling, she did not bear getting any child mocked because of sharing a name with an "insufferable know-it-all" such as Hermione to live off the shore of the island that the Potters lived, where Hermione's father would have found an infant Harry Potter.

At one point, Hermione was also going to have a Muggle sister but she was cut during the fifth book, *The Order of the Phoenix*.

During an interview, it was revealed by JK Rowling that Hermione was given the name "Jane" as a middle name. However, she soon changed it to Jean because Rowling didn't want Hermione to

In her development in the films, Singer Katy B originally auditoned to play Hermione but was dismissed because she had not read the books and Charlotte Church was too old to play the part. So Emma Watson was cast instead. Emma Watson almost did not get the role because she refused to audition, unlike other girls at her school.

In the books, Hermione is described at having buck teeth before having them shrinked to a different size. She was intended to have buck teeth in the final version of *The Philosopher's Stone*. Emma Watson was going to wear the fake buck teeth. However, she could not be understood, so the buck teeth were removed altogether.
