Children who are reading fluently before beginning first grade are likely to be perceived by both parents and teachers as intellectually gifted. The results of several longitudinal studies have confirmed that precocious readers continue to be good readers. Hyperlexia is when a child starts reading early and surprisingly beyond their expected ability.

Here are just a few top business leaders and entrepreneurs who make reading a major part of their daily lifestyle: Bill Gates reads about 50 books per year, which breaks down to one per week. Afterwards, Ron who was relieved that Hermione and McLaggen's date did not go well attempted to speak to Hermione, but she ignored him, still upset and angry over his previous treatment of her.

Madam Pomfrey checking on a poisoned Ron, while Hermione, Harry, and Ginny are sitting by his bedside. The two reconciled after Ron was hospitalised due to consuming poisoned mead, an event that left Hermione shaken and frightened. After the incident she remained unusually quiet and subdued. Whilst sitting at Ron's bedside, Ron subconsciously muttered Hermione's name.

By this time, Ron was visibly disillusioned with his relationship with Lavender , who had become possessive of him and called him by the annoying nickname " Won-Won.

He began avoiding Lavender, who soon became suspicious of his relationship with Hermione, ultimately leading to an argument about her. After Lavender saw Ron and Hermione come down alone from the boys' dormitories Harry was present also, but under the Invisibility cloak , she had a fight with Ron and broke up with him.

Afterwards, Hermione and Ron were more comfortable together, and their relationship improved considerably, although a romantic relationship remained out of their reach. Hermione comforted Ron after he failed his Apparition test because he Splinched half an eyebrow, while he teased her about the instructor 's praise for her flawless performance. That year, Hermione also quickly mastered non-verbal magic , the first in her class to do so.

Throughout the year, Hermione and Ron were both sceptical of Harry's theory that Draco Malfoy had been branded with the Dark Mark and was up to something.

Moreover, she was confident that Malfoy couldn't have brought any Dark objects into Hogwarts without alerting Filch. These claims were heard by Draco himself, who used these details and Hermione's previous plan of communication to accomplish his own. A tearful Hermione standing at the base of the Astronomy Tower after Dumbledore's death. Near the end of the school year, Harry's suspicions would be proven right. Malfoy let Death Eaters into the school by means of a pair of vanishing cabinets.

One cabinet resided in Borgin and Burkes and the other in the Room of Hidden Things as it had been presumed broken, but Malfoy managed to fix it. Hermione fought in the battle and remained unscathed thanks to some Felix Felicis.

He told Hermione, Ron, and Ginny to drink it beforehand in case his worries proved true. Throughout the school year, Hermione and Ron had been informed of the content of Harry's private lessons with Dumbledore. During the funeral of Albus Dumbledore , who had been killed by Snape in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, Hermione was comforted by Ron and cried on his shoulder.

Afterwards, Harry told them about his desire to drop out of Hogwarts to hunt Horcruxes, which were the key to defeating Lord Voldemort.

Despite his protests, Hermione and Ron promised to forgo their seventh year of school in order to assist Harry. Before leaving the school, Hermione was able to Summon books about Horcruxes so as to learn how to destroy the items.

She found them in Dumbledore's office, where the late headmaster had kept them after the subject had been banned at Hogwarts. Hermione began planning for her journey with Harry and Ron immediately. Concerned for the safety of her family, she altered her parents' memories to make them think they were Wendell and Monica Wilkins and sent them to hide in Australia , no longer aware of their original identities, the existence of their daughter, or anything she had told them about Harry.

She also withdrew all of her savings at her building society account, in event of a need for Muggle money. Hermione then joined the Order of the Phoenix in the operation to remove Harry from 4 Privet Drive before his 17th birthday, taking Polyjuice Potion to become one of the "seven Potters". Hermione flew on a Thestral with Kingsley Shacklebolt. The two fought off at least five Death Eaters , possibly killing one, injuring two, and were pursued by Lord Voldemort himself at one point.

In time, they arrived safely at the Burrow , where Hermione was immensely relieved to see Harry alive and ran to him and hugged him tight, but she was greatly worried when Ron did not show up on time. When he landed, she ran and nuzzled him in relief. She was saddened by the news of Alastor Moody and Hedwig 's murders and disturbed by Harry's vision of Garrick Ollivander being tortured.

Later on, the Minister for Magic , Rufus Scrimgeour , interrupted Harry's birthday celebrations to execute Albus Dumbledore's will and bequeath some of his belongings to the three friends. Hermione received The Tales of Beedle the Bard , a book of children's stories written in runes. Even before Hermione understood the priceless quality of the gift, she was moved to tears by Dumbledore's great act of friendship.

During the reading of Dumbledore's will, she also displayed her incredible store of general knowledge when she mentioned that " Snitches have flesh memories, " surprising both Ron and Harry, who had both believed her to know little to nothing of Quidditch. At Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding on 1 August, , Hermione wore a " floaty, lilac-coloured dress with matching high heels " and made her hair " sleek and shiny. She was happily surprised when Ron quickly asked her to dance, and when Krum asked a disguised Harry whether the two were together, Harry replied " Er Kingsley's Patronus warning the wedding attendees of the Ministry's fall.

The wedding was interrupted by Kingsley Shacklebolt's Patronus who told the guests of the fall of the Ministry of Magic. Hermione was prepared to make a quick escape, immediately Disapparating herself, Harry, and Ron away from the danger.

Hermione also showed great foresight and magical talent when she revealed a small beaded purse on which she had placed an Undetectable Extension Charm. Within it she had packed, amongst other things, clothing, a tent, healing supplies, Harry's Invisibility Cloak , and several useful books. However, minutes later Hermione unknowingly triggered the Taboo curse that was placed on Voldemort's name, and the trio were thus tracked down by Antonin Dolohov and Thorfinn Rowle. After a brief but violent skirmish , the Death Eaters were subdued, and Hermione modified their memories to throw them off the scent and to maintain Ron's cover story that he was sick with spattergroit and bedridden at home.

At Harry's suggestion the three then made their way safely to 12 Grimmauld Place, as they could not hide anywhere within the wizarding world. After learning from Mundungus Fletcher that Dolores Umbridge had Tom Riddle's mother's locket - one of the seven Horcruxes - in her possession, the trio formed a plan to infiltrate the Ministry and reclaim the locket.

Hermione imbibed Polyjuice Potion and transformed to look like Mafalda Hopkirk , a prominent Ministry official. Hermione tricked Umbridge into telling her about the locket, which she claimed was a Selwyn family heirloom. Harry casting his Patronus at Dementors while in the trial courtroom, before capturing the locket.

When Harry attacked Umbridge in a rage, their cover was blown, but she and Harry managed to free the Muggle-born prisoners and encouraged them to flee the country while Voldemort was in power.

Hermione took the locket from Umbridge, replacing it with a copy using the Geminio spell. They met up with Ron again and fled the Ministry, but Yaxley grabbed onto Hermione's arm while they were Disapparating. This meant that he was unwittingly brought inside the enchantment making Grimmauld Place undetectable, and forced Hermione to use a Revulsion Jinx to free herself from him, and then to take the trio away from Grimmauld Place.

The locket caused great pain among the three friends due to the negative energy within. They began arguing over petty issues such as cooking, and growing moodier. The negative energy from the locket caused Ron to accuse Harry of poor leadership. They fought physically, although Hermione stopped them before they started casting spells by casting a Shield Charm between them. Ron also accused Hermione of choosing Harry over him, causing him to be jealous and feel left out by his two friends' growing friendship.

He declared he was leaving and stormed out of the tent. By the time she got rid of the shield charm, all Hermione could do was scream for him to come back, without success. Hermione then cried over Ron for more than a week after his departure, although she tried to hide it from Harry.

Both were deeply saddened and hurt by their friend's departure, although Hermione more than Harry, as she cried over Ron's departure for weeks.

With Ron gone, Hermione and Harry's evenings were spent in mostly silence, while they contemplated Ron's abandonment and the places Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes might be hidden.

Hermione and Harry soon decided to go to Godric's Hollow , to see the graves of Harry's parents and to speak to historian Bathilda Bagshot. They believed Bathilda might be holding onto Godric Gryffindor's Sword for Harry, as they thought Dumbledore might have left it with her as an old family friend, knowing it was the only method the trio knew for destroying a Horcrux.

Hermione comforted Harry in the graveyard when they found the Potters' graves ; she nuzzled her head in to the crook between his head and shoulders and conjured roses for the graves. On their way out of the graveyeard they came into contact with what appeared to be Bathilda. The pair then went to Bathilda's house; whilst in the house they were separated.

Harry was attacked by Nagini upstairs, who had been waiting for them in the guise of the old woman, whose corpse had been animated like an Inferius by Voldemort. Hermione rushed to Harry's aid and proceeded to save his life, and the two of them barely escaped before Lord Voldemort himself arrived at the cabin in an attempt to capture Harry.

Hermione Apparated to the Forest of Dean , while Harry was overcome with pain and visions of Voldemort's attack on his parents and him in She used a Severing Charm to remove the locket from Harry and healed the bite Nagini had given him with dittany. Harry's wand had also been broken in the foray, most likely by the Blasting Curse Hermione cast at Nagini. Hermione was very upset a the thought that it was her curse that broke Harry's wand. Harry was heartbroken, but not angry with her, knowing that it was an accident and that Hermione had saved his life and therefore could not hold it against her.

Harry and Hermione were reunited with Ron in the Forest of Dean, after Ron heard them talking through the Deluminator Dumbledore had left to him. Ron destroyed the locket Horcrux with Godric Gryffindor's Sword, which had been left by an unknown assistant in a pool in the Forest, saving Harry's life and thus receiving forgiveness from Harry for leaving.

Before he destroyed it, however, the locket revealed some of Ron's deepest fears, including that Hermione preferred Harry to him. Hermione, however, was unaware of this, as she had been in the tent while this occurred.

Upon seeing Ron, she screamed at Ron despite Harry trying to tell her that Ron just saved his life, and punched him until Harry cast a shield charm between them with Hermione's wand.

She was furious with Ron for days for his abandonment, but gradually warmed up to him again. The trio then travelled together to Xenophilius Lovegood 's home to ask him about the strange symbol in The Tales of Beedle the Bard, which Xenophilius had worn on a chain around his neck at Bill and Fleur's wedding.

They had thought it to be the sign of the Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald after Krum recognised it at the wedding Grindelwald being a former Durmstrang student , but Xenophilius informed them it was the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.

Shortly after making this discovery, Harry realised that Luna wasn't at home, despite it being the Christmas holidays, and had been away for a long time. Xenophilius revealed to them that Luna had been taken prisoner by Death Eaters and that he planned to betray them in order to get her back. However, in attempting to capture them, Xenophilius made the Erumpent horn in his living room which he had insisted was a Snorkack horn, much to Hermione's annoyance explode, giving the trio the chance to hide just as Death Eaters Selwyn and Travers arrived.

They threatened to kill Luna if they found that Xenophilius had lied about Harry Potter's presence in his home. In a remarkable show of mental and magical dexterity, Hermione concocted the trio's escape while safeguarding Ron's feigned illness and allowing the Death Eaters to glimpse Harry, so that they would not carry out their threat to kill Luna. In the spring of , Harry accidentally triggered the Taboo curse and Hermione, Harry, and Ron were tracked down and captured by a group of Snatchers , which included the werewolf Fenrir Greyback.

Greyback had developed cannibalistic tendencies when out of werewolf form and was eager to bite Hermione. After a brief and violent interrogation by the Snatchers, the captives were brought to Malfoy Manor and turned over to Bellatrix Lestrange. Bellatrix immediately panicked at the sight of Godric Gryffindor's Sword and incapacitated the Snatchers with ease, as she was too quick for them.

She then ordered them moved to the courtyard where she would deal with them later. Bellatrix gave away that what she believed to be the sword and another Horcrux were hidden in her vault at Gringotts in her panic.

She proceeded to isolate Hermione and then brutally torture her with the Cruciatus Curse repeatedly along with taking a dagger and cutting the word Mudblood into her arm as interrogation methods. Ron who had tried to take her place unsuccessfully was reduced to sobs from hearing Hermione scream in pain. However, Hermione came up with a fake story that the sword was merely a copy of the real thing; a lie that Harry persuaded the imprisoned goblin Griphook to go along with.

Hermione was soon tortured into unconsciousness. With Hermione's moans and screams of pain echoing throughout the manor, Harry and Ron saw no possible hope left. Suddenly, Dobby came to the rescue of the prisoners in the dungeon, with audible crack as he apparated. Harry and Ron fought off Peter Pettigrew , who had been sent to investigate the noise.

Harry snarled at him that Pettigrew owed him for Harry's sparing of his life with Lupin and Sirius, and the momentary relaxing of Pettigrew as a result caused him to be choked to death by his own silver hand created by Voldemort for showing Harry mercy. They raced upstairs and were forced to drop their wands when Bellatrix held a silver knife to Hermione's throat. Bellatrix cut through some skin, leaving a thin cut on the front of Hermione's neck. Right when Bellatrix was about to slit her throat, Dobby returned and sent the chandelier crashing to the floor, knocking Bellatrix over and enabling Harry to grab their wands from Draco and Disapparate with Hermione, Ron, Griphook, and Dobby to Shell Cottage , where Bill and Fleur Weasley took up residence after their marriage.

Unfortunately, Dobby was killed during this escape, by a knife Bellatrix threw. The trio speaking with Griphook about what lies within the Lestrange vault at Gringotts. Ron didn't leave Hermione's bedside throughout this time. The trio formed a plan to break into the Lestrange Vault at Gringotts to retrieve the Horcrux Helga Hufflepuff's Cup , with the reluctant assistance of Griphook.

The goblin only agreed to help them in exchange for Gryffindor's Sword; although lothe to lose it, Hermione was strongly against deceiving or double-crossing Griphook, who was startled by the care she and Harry had shown for house-elves,since most wizards do not think highly of non-human beings.

The trio reluctantly agreed to Griphook's terms. Once more, Hermione used Polyjuice Potion, containing Bellatrix's hair. She was also forced to use Bellatrix's wand , as her wand had been confiscated by Snatchers. She very much disliked this, as the wand in question had caused so much suffering, such as contributing to Sirius' murder. She stated that the wand felt wrong and Harry speculated that it was because Hermione had not won the wand's intelligence. It was determined that Hermione was "too polite" to really impersonate Bellatrix, as she did not treat those around her like scum.

Despite this, the group managed to get into the vault, mainly because of Harry's use of the Imperius Curse. After many harrowing challenges, and Griphook betraying them out of a belief that they would not have kept to their agreement, Hermione, Ron, and Harry escaped on the back of the half-blind dragon that was guarding the vault, with another Horcrux in their possession.

The trio finally returned to Hogwarts on 2 May, , with the assistance of Aberforth Dumbledore , after Harry had a vision that the remaining Horcrux they had not identified but suspected was something formerly belonging to Rowena Ravenclaw was hidden at the school.

They were reunited with their friends in the reformed Dumbledore's Army, who declared their wish to fight the encroaching Death Eater army. Soon after reuniting with Harry, Ron expressed concern for the house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchens, prompting Hermione to kiss him for the very first time.

Ron responded with great enthusiasm, but they quickly broke apart when Harry reminded them of their objective. Hermione and Ron run from the towering flames of Fiendfyre. Hermione dodged a Killing Curse and managed to stun Goyle, and then she and Ron dragged him out of the room on a broomstick as it went up in flames due to Crabbe's cursed Fiendfyre , which also destroyed the Horcrux.

Harry rescued Draco, but Crabbe was killed by his creation. Harry, Hermione and Ron then witnessed the death of Fred Weasley , which devastated them all. Despite their grief, the trio continued with the effort to track down Nagini, the last Horcrux that they knew of. Lavender unfortunately still tragically died afterwards from her injuries. The trio was swarmed by Dementors and all had difficulty summoning their Patronuses because of the horror of their recent experiences, but Luna, Ernie Macmillan , and Seamus Finnigan came to their assistance.

Under Harry's Invisibility Cloak, the three made their way to the Shrieking Shack , where they witnessed Voldemort have Nagini kill Severus Snape, as he had ultimately incorrectly assumed that the Elder Wand's loyalty lay with Snape.

During the brief pause in fighting, when Voldemort issued an ultimatum to Harry, Hermione comforted Ginny Weasley over Fred's death. When Voldemort and his army approached with a supposedly dead Harry, Hermione screamed in horror and denial. The Battle of Hogwarts soon resumed, and Hermione fought Bellatrix Lestrange alongside Ginny and Luna, despite being hindered by using Bellatrix's own wand against her.

Hermione witnessed Harry's final defeat of Lord Voldemort, and she and Ron reached him first, overjoyed. Hermione survived the battle relatively unscathed, only suffering minor injuries and burns she received from entering the Lestranges' Vault shortly before the battle. At some point Hermione found her parents in Australia and restored their memories. In , Hermione went back to Hogwarts to attain her N. Hermione attained a high position in the Ministry of Magic, first through the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

There, she continued her work with S. She then went on to become Deputy Head [14] of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and assisted the Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt in eradicating the old laws biased in favour of pure-bloods.

Along with Harry and Ron, she helped to revolutionise the Ministry and reform the wizarding world. Hermione also eventually translated The Tales of Beedle the Bard from the original, which had been written in runes and which Albus Dumbledore bequeathed to her in his will in Her new translation was published in and included notes on each tale written by Dumbledore before his death; these notes were lent to Hermione by her former professor, Hogwarts headmistress Minerva McGonagall.

Rita Skeeter noted that Ron had become catatonic at the appearance of the Bulgarian Veela and Hermione had to elbow him in the ribs. During the Calamity , Hermione acted as one of the apparent leading members of the newly-created Statute of Secrecy Task Force and would introduce members who had proven to be qualified to Professions after complimenting on their impressive combination of determination and ability. She would also help the members personally, instructing those who pursued a professorship on the Proficiency Charm after returning from a sojourn overseas while giving Aurors a retrospective regarding her experiences in the Second Wizarding War to help them in fighting Death Eaters.

At some point between and , Hermione was elected as Minister for Magic. She talked about her concerns for recent activity similar to ones which happened when Voldemort was alive. Harry reminded her that he did just find a Time-Turner and he would get round to the rest of the tasks in his own time. They agreed that the Time-Turner should be destroyed and Hermione hid it away.

A few months later, Hermione was returning to her office when she was stopped by Ron, who was really Albus Potter transfigured to look like Ron. Hermione found Ron annoying although he stalled her long enough for the others to find the Time-Turner and they left. Hermione had found out about Harry's nightmares and how his scar was hurting again and she called a meeting. However, no one thought it was a threat.

Hermione and Ron standing in her office at the Ministry of Magic. Hermione's life was changed by Albus and Scorpius when they meddled with time.

In another alternate reality where Harry died, Hermione was in hiding as a member of what remained of Dumbledore's Army with Ron and Severus Snape. When Scorpius turned up with information about the original timeline where they won, Hermione agreed to help put time right again by time-travelling to the moment Scorpius changed time and use a Shield Charm to stop him. Hermione was the one to use the charm first, but when they returned to the present, it was still changed.

They were attacked by Dementors and Hermione and Ron professed their love for each other and sacrificed their souls to the Dementors to give Scorpius time to escape. Hermione, along with Ron, Harry, Ginny and Draco were very forgiving of what Albus and Scorpius did, but McGonagall reminded them of great dangers that happened, and could still have been, because they meddled with time.

When Albus and Scorpius were kidnapped by Delphi and made to travel in time again to October 31 , Hermione travelled in time again with Ron, Harry, Ginny and Draco Malfoy to save them. Hermione helped transfigure Harry to look like Voldemort to trick Delphi who hopes to save him, and then later helped Harry duel Delphi.

She and Draco then apprehended her and took her back to the present where she was sent to Azkaban. Hermione had light skin, bright brown eyes, lots of bushy brown hair once described as a "long mane of brown hair" , [33] and — as a child — rather large front teeth. Hermione generally wore her school uniform under her robes. Otherwise, she dressed casually. She usually kept her hair long and sometimes tied it back in a plait. In , after Hermione was accidentally struck with a Densaugeo spell, Madam Pomfrey magically shrank her front teeth and told Hermione to alert her when her teeth had returned to their original size.

Hermione deviously let the spell continue a little longer, evening them out and making it unnecessary for her to receive the braces that her parents - both dentists - had originally intended for her. Hemione later confessed that she had previously considered fixing her teeth with magic but resisted out of respect for her parents.

During the Yule Ball , Hermione revealed that when she put her mind to it, she could look truly beautiful - she used Sleekeazy's Hair Potion to fix her hair, making it sleek and shiny, and twisted up into an elegant knot at the back of her head. She wore robes made of a floaty, periwinkle-blue material, and she held herself differently. Harry himself failed to recognise her initially, and was shocked when he did, for she didn't look at all like her usual self.

Even Pansy Parkinson gaped at Hermione when she saw her, and Draco seemed unable to find an insult to throw at her.

Hermione was noted for being both extremely intellectual curious and very hard-working, coming out on top in most of her classes and continuously aiding Harry and Ron in their adventures. She was so studious that the Ministry allowed her a Time-Turner in her third year, a device that rewinds time so that she could take extra courses. Unlike most wizards who depended solely on their magical ability, Hermione readily relied on logic, which often helped her to cleverly deduce information that many others missed, such as Remus Lupin 's lycanthropy.

An example of this was the reality of the house-elves, insisting that they wanted to be free, had wages and only seemed happy because they were under educated and brainwashed, even though her friends and the elves themselves told her they were happy and didn't want her help because they don't usually think the way humans do.

Hermione was quite blunt with her opinions, sometimes to the point of being tactless. For example, her attempt to comfort Lavender Brown about the death of her rabbit did not go over well, [31] and her honesty when dealing with centaurs in nearly landed her and Harry in serious trouble. Hermione was very responsible, a strict perfectionist and well put-together who often attempted to act as the voice of reason among her more impulsive friends, to varying levels of success.

These traits led to her being made a prefect during her fifth year. Throughout her entire school career, Hermione was insistent on order and steadfastly devoted to the rules, often at the expense of her popularity. Her sense of humour was limited, frequently expressing disapproval over Fred and George 's practical jokes and threatened to put them in detention for selling prank items in the common room. Hermione was very determined and focused, in that she " always [kept] her attention focused on the job that must be done.

This is evidenced by her blackmailing Rita Skeeter into writing a good article about Harry [4] , as well as slapping Draco Malfoy when he insulted Hagrid and drawing her wand on him, using a Confundus Charm on Cormac McLaggen for insulting her friends and placing a jinx on the list of DA members that would cause them to sprout boils all over their face in the word "SNEAK" if they betrayed the organisation.

Malfoy, Rita Skeeter and Marietta Edgecombe all served as examples of what could result if they pushed the most talented witch of her generation one inch too far. Because of her opinionated, interfering nature, Hermione had the reputation for being a bossy know-it-all. Her sometimes abrasive attitude masked deep insecurities and fear of failure, as personified by her Boggart.

However, she didn't let anyone bully her about this and ignored bigots like Draco Malfoy. Despite her growing confidence in her abilities, Hermione wasn't arrogant or conceited, and helped her classmates with their schoolwork whenever she could. In her fifth year, she also became one of the few people to call Voldemort by name. Though she initially showed a tendency toward mild panic in sudden situations, [3] in time she was able to overcome this trait of hers, and demonstrated her bravery and extreme loyalty to her friends many times when facing danger, risking her life frequently to help them and standing by Harry even when no one else did.

Although she wasn't as short-tempered as her friends, Hermione displayed a formidable fury on several occasions, such as slapping Draco Malfoy in defence of Hagrid, [31] sabotaging Cormac McLaggen's tryout as a Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team after he insulted Ron and Ginny, conjuring a flock of canaries to attack Ron in their sixth year [33] and physically attacking him when he briefly abandoned her and Harry during their hunt for Horcruxes.

Hermione's corporeal Patronus form of an otter. Hermione proved to be an extremely powerful and talented young witch. Even before she began her education at Hogwarts, she practised some simple spells which all worked. Hermione being the first in her class to master the Levitation Charm. Hermione erasing Antonin Dolohov 's memories. Hermione conjuring a wreath of flowers in Godric's Hollow , Christmas Hermione attending Potions class in her sixth year.

Hermione healing a Splinched Ron with Dittany in The Tales of Beedle the Bard. The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. Mrs Granger , her mother. Mr and Mrs Granger were Muggle dentists who seemed proud of their witch daughter.

They appeared to be accepting of the wizarding world , as they went shopping with Hermione in Diagon Alley and allowed her to spend several holidays with the Weasley family , [4] but did not approve of their daughter using magic as a quick-fix, as indicated by their not allowing Hermione to magically fix her teeth.

In , she planned to go skiing with them during the Christmas holidays , but ended up going to 12 Grimmauld Place to try to cheer Harry up instead. Hermione told her parents that the reason for her cancelling was to study for exams, indicating that her parents expected her to do well in school and were probably not aware of the extent of their daughter's involvement in activities relating to the Second Wizarding War.

Mr Granger , her father. To protect them during the height of the war, Hermione modified her parents' memories in to make them believe they were entirely different people, and they left the country. Hermione hugging Rose before Rose departs for school.

Rose started her first year at Hogwarts in , along with her cousin, Albus. Ron stated that Rose had inherited her mother's brains.

Hermione was probably very close to Rose because she was also described as smart, yet not a complete know-it-all. Hugo was born in or He most likely inherited his father's Quidditch skills, as he was noted to fly a lot with his cousins Albus Potter and James Potter. He also appeared to have a quiet demeanour. As four of Ron Weasley 's five surviving siblings were married by , Hermione had quite a few nieces and nephews through her husband: Harry and Ginny had three children James , Albus and Lily , as did Bill and Fleur Victoire , Dominique and Louis , while George and Angelina Johnson had a son and a daughter Fred and Roxanne , and Percy Weasley had two daughters Molly and Lucy with his wife, Audrey.

Hermione visited them all on many occasions. It can be assumed that she was closest with Harry's children. The Weasley family , her future in-laws. Because of her friendships with Ron and Ginny Weasley , Hermione became friendly with the entire Weasley family.

She spent a portion of many of her summer holidays at their home of the Burrow , and attended some family outings with them, such as shopping for school supplies in Diagon Alley and attending the Quidditch World Cup with them.

Arthur Weasley was fascinated by the Muggle world and thus Hermione's background, and even invited Hermione's parents for a drink upon first meeting them. Molly Weasley was fond of Hermione, though she treated her coldly for a brief time after Rita Skeeter printed lies about Hermione toying with the hearts of Harry Potter and Viktor Krum , much to Hermione's bewilderment.

After Harry explained that the stories were false, Mrs Weasley once again warmed up to Hermione. Also, she and Percy Weasley were considered to be on good terms until their fight over elf rights. Fred and George Weasley , her friends and future brothers-in-law. Fred and George Weasley seemed to regard Hermione and Harry almost like other younger siblings, teasing them as well as being protective of them.

She studied singing, acting and dancing, and performed in school plays. Her natural instinct for acting first came out when she won a poetry competition for reciting James Reeves' "The Sea" at age 7. Watson had never acted professionally when her theater teachers suggested her to agents looking to cast an upcoming movie based on the first novel of the best-selling Harry Potter series.

A 9-year-old Watson auditioned eight times for the role that would make her an international star. Harry Potter author J. Rowling , who was deeply involved in the film process to make sure it stayed true to the book, wanted Watson involved in the project. Watson sufficiently impressed casting agents and the film's producers, and won the role of Hermione Granger, Harry Potter's smart, bossy best friend and voice of reason.

The trio of British child actors would become known around the globe for their roles as young wizards fighting a battle between good and evil, beginning with the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in November For the next decade Watson stayed busy filming the Potter series. She reprised the role of Hermione for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in and for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in , and continued to star in the eight-part series through the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 , in Although they spent their adolescence on film sets, Watson and costars Radcliffe and Grint kept up with their lessons, with five hours of tutoring each day.

Watson took high school equivalency exams, and made high scores in every subject. She took a year off from school to film the final two Harry Potter movies, but maintained that she was committed to furthering her education. Watson tried hard to shed her child star image, one so closely tied to the Potter franchise. They found me and picked me for the part. As a teenager coming of age as an established movie star, Watson also emerged as a fashionista, her style catching the eye of many major figures in the fashion industry.

I think it's so important, because it's how you show yourself to the world," she once told Teen Vogue.
