THE SMARTEST WITCH OF
HER AGE
“Books and Cleverness!
There are much more important things – friendship and bravery.”
“When are you going to
get into your head? We’re in this together.”
~ Hermione Granger
Imagine it. A knife at your throat. Your friends are
depending on you and at the moment you are depending on your friends. What
would you do? My hero is Hermione Granger. She is one of the main primary
characters in the Harry Potter books. She is brave, kind, courageous, and very
smart. She proves that not only boys can do the impossible. She is the only
girl to stand up to a Death Eater and gets all O’s (Hogwarts term for A)
student and has saved Harry Potter’s life many, many times. She is a character
who will do anything for what she believes in and loves and never backs down.
She is an incredibly inspirational hero.
In the Harry Potter series, she plays a huge role in
defeating Lord Voldemort. She stood up to countless of Voldemort’s followers
and to one of the most powerful Dark Wizards, Bellatrix Lestrange. She was the
only one who stuck with Harry all the time. She even left the ones she loves
more than anything. She helped find Salazar Slytherin’s Locket, Rowena
Ravenclaw’s Diadem, Nagini and Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup. Without her, Voldemort
would not have even been close to being defeated.
Hermione Jean Granger was born on September 19, 1979 in
England. She went to Hogwarts when she was 10 in 1989. When she finished her
quest to find the Horcruxes she went back to finish school and worked in the
Department of Magical Law Enforcement but before that worked on her
organisation SPEW (The Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare) and worked
in the Department of the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. She
married Ron Weasley and has two children, Rose and Hugo Weasley.
Hermione Granger inspires me because she was always the one
who made Harry and Ron do their best. She proves that any girl can be a leader.
The Harry Potter gave me something to believe in. Hermione gave me an
inspiration. Hermione is what every girl wants to be. She is smart, brave kind,
loving, committed, selfless and a leader. She had to wipe her parents’ memories
to defeat Voldemort. Now I think that this is a true commitment. Harry might be
chosen one but Hermione is a true hero.
