This teenage girl flicks her wand with extreme elegance and agility, her long and bushy brown hair swaying behind her; she has the ability of controlling advanced magic; was also honored as Gryffindor prefect; most of all, she has experienced dangerous missions and dark ordeals with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley……Hermione Granger is clearly the most popular female character in the Harry Potter series, there are many aspects that makes her admired by every single reader.
Firstly, Hermione Granger has got high accomplishment in witchcraft and wizardry while getting educated at Hogwarts, a place beyond prying Muggle eyes. Spending her early childhood years in a Muggle atmosphere completely neglecting the existence of wizards, Hermione though, seemed to show extraordinary and unusual interest in magic, even in her first year at school. She always performed excellent in every subject and achieved awesome grades in exams, had expertise in difficult and advanced realms of magic. She was also eager in learning new skills for further use in life, especially in the period which Voldemort gains power and attempts to devour the righteous side, she did her best to help Harry destruct his foe completely. Hermione, who was an attractive genius witch with gifted talents, is envied and praised by her friends and book fans; her enthusiasm in studying should be learnt and utilized in reality by young fans, too.
Secondly, this quick-witted girl possesses main leadership in every mission with Harry and Ron. Taking every accident that is likely to happen into account, planning every detail that is vital to the quest, searching for every necessary hiding place and shelter……The reason why she emphasized and paid attention to each potential aspect, was due to her concern for her two friends, Harry in particular. Indeed, the purpose of her thoughtful behavior and well considered plans are meaningful: Hermione surely wants to avoid her Hogwarts companions to gradually experience a dreadful and cold-blooded walk to their own devastation. This, definitely, could reflect her wholehearted unity with others, her desire to gain victory and peace, and the unbreakable strength of friendship she has maintained between Ron and Harry.
Furthermore, she has never shown inferiority among those who came from superior families, even though she is Muggle-born. When facing the pure-blood and arrogant Slytherins, Hermione’s confidence in herself didn’t shrink away into nothingness. Instead, she gains all her courage, defending herself from their sarcastic jeering, and insists, “I’m a Mudblood, and I am proud of it!” Not losing a shred of her self-esteem, her action of standing up to rivals in order to protect herself and friends from offending and despising, is a rightful act. We shouldn’t be afraid of showing ourselves in front of people who underestimate us. On the contrary, the genuine self concealed in the depths of one’s heart, is more crucial than one’s identity and background. As the saying goes, never judge a book by the cover; have courage and be kind to others.
Kindness is significant characters in Hermione’s personality. Respecting the Hogwarts professors; showing generosity to house-elves; keeping track of communication with friends no matter how far the distance is; protecting her loved ones from pitiful ordeals…… Her attitude to friends often consists of genuine consideration and car; though her action of pleading in honesty to foes reflects the fact that she yearns to be estimated as innocent, which could possibly free her and her mates from desperation and danger. Wisdom and benevolence could be seen obviously from her methods of rescuing members of the side of justice, and defeating those from the dark side.
‘Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure.’ Ravenclaw’s founder, Rowena, once said that talent and wisdom are two of her House’s chief characteristics. However, as a glorious Gryffindor, Hermione Granger has something particular other than those of a typical Ravenclaw: she has heroic courage, wholehearted strength, and the kindness which sustains eternal friendship.
