G is for — Hermione Granger from J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series 
I enjoyed immensely all the Harry Potter books and movies, and Hermione Granger is one of the main reasons why. Harry and Ron would have been toast many times over if not for her intelligence and her quickness with wand and spell.
When we first meet Hermione, she gets on everyone’s nerves because she knows every answer to every question ever asked. Harry and Ron soon learn, though, how valuable that knowledge is and how lucky they are to have Hermione as their friend. Her strength, courage, and loyalty far outweigh her annoying know-it-all-ness.
Two of my favorite Hermione moments from the movies — the poignant scene from Deathly Hallows, part I, when she uses the spell on her parents to erase their memories of her existence, and the scene in Prisoner of Azkaban, where she punches Malfoy in the nose. Not that punching people is the best way to solve problems, but with a creep like Malfoy… yeah, he deserved it.

I am one of those weird people who never “got” Harry Potter. I read the first one when it came out, but was never inspired to go further and haven’t seen any of the films. I know, it’s odd!

Ha, ha, I actually know a few other people who feel the same way. It’s just not their thing. To each, his own, as they say. 🙂

Thanks, Lori. Although that genre isn’t one I read, i always enjoy a smart, competent female character.

The part where Hermione erases her parents’ memories is so sad. She’s an amazing character.

It’s when Buckbeak is about to be executed. It’s different in the movie than it is in the book.

Not an HP fan, but I can see she had a strong part to play in the series.

You know what? I actually love people like Rowling’s Hermione. I did not find her insufferable, but those who did not appreciate her for her hard work. 😛

I agree. She did work hard. She earned that knowledge and those good grades and should be celebrated for it!
