It's not a bad thing though. Some are like that and others are reckless. Then are the ones that are like Hermione that have a balance. Hermione just seems to know when to balance out things right. And her timing is pretty good too. I mean the fact that she has confidence in herself makes her feel confident in what she knows which is why she is always prepared. Prepared to accept whatever comes her way, because she'll know what she is up against. That's where her Ravenclaw traits kick in and when the action comes her Griffyndor trait shines through. So I think that we can safely say that the reps both and has a balance between both.


How did the Sorting Hat decide?
I think that the sorting hat saw and knew that she was book smart. That she could also triumph in Ravenclaw, but the hat ALSO saw another trait in her that needed more work on. And seeing as she didn't need anymore intelligence becuase she had it, he put her in Griffyndor, becuase the hat had taken notice that she had courage and bravery, but she needed an extra push to balance it out. And being smart and all I think the sorting hat knew that she can balance it out on her own if in Griffyndor. That's what I think.

Ok, ok, I'm back, sorry again
I'll resume the past questions:

Do you think Hermione let love walk all over her when it came to Ron? Or was she on the right track & had the right amount of love with Ron?

*chuckle* If you mean when they started they relationship, I think at first she did go a bit dumby ... you know, being the most intelligent witch and all, she was most sensitive, and getting the boy she had dreamt with is as to dazzle everybody! But maybe she was the first in become serious and try to give maturity to the couple. Making it a couple.

When Hermione found out she was a witch how did she react? Did she believe it? Or did she always know she was different?

That question always kept me thinking about how contradictory she could be. When Luna talked about her magical-impossible-existing creatures and her odd things, she always was like "That's nonsense!" As she told Xenophilius "you say that anything is possible because nobody has proved it doesn't exist?" So, if she didn't believe in things that are impossible ... isn't magic impossible, a dream beyond belief for a smart Muggle girl, raised in an ambiance of ... Muggleness? How could she have accepted she was a witch without a doubt, but she can't believe there could be another magical creatures non-spotted by the magical books she clutched?
It's really odd. Maybe she always spotted she could do odd things, and then, as McGonagall seemed so serious and not the kind of people who'd be tricking her, and she found proves and books, she accpeted it, believing the unbelievable.

Do you think Hermione ever liked Harry, or did she always have the hots for Ron?

The hots!? The hots?! How's that of the hots? *unbearable laughs*
I don't think so. She had learnt of Harry from books, so maybe he was an interesting boy for her. Or, maybe she did feel a bit curious and thought "Hey, this boy is so cute ... Oh, but look how nice is that stain on the ginger's nose!" No, talking serious, maybe she did like a bit Harry at first, because she was helping him all the time and that, but then she became friends of them and she noticed how needed of another kind of love he was, and that fights were funnier than trying to save the world ...



No, you're not a dummy. I did noticed that too and thought What? Braces? I think maybe she used them everyday when she was a kid and then only at home, on holidays. Braces are not mentioned in any other part of the book, otherwise they'd appeared when JK describes her in PS, or when she went to the Yule Ball, with something like "She wasn't wearing the braces, and the reduction of her front teeth were remarkable", or I don't know.

Had Hermione not been told she was a witch and had grown up in Muggle society, what job occupation would she have taken?

I have to think about it. Everything could be possible.

If Hermione, by chance, had been put into Ravenclaw instead of Gryffindor would she still have become friends with Harry and Ron or would things have been completely different?

Things would have been trickier to become friends, because they had shared less lessons together, in different common rooms, and so Hermione would have had less time to bother them. But if they met first on the train, and then met in another class, if Hermione was still without friends, she approaches by chance with the only two guys, or with Neville, she met on the train, she follows them, and she get involved in some of their adventures ... well, maybe yes, but things would have been trickier.

If you had a chance to vote Hermione Granger for President would you? What kind of President do you think she would be?

Yeees!! She would be something concerned by people's situation of life, for animal rights, not somebody glamourous (as our deear president .. *ejem, political coughs*) Maybe she would be arguing and getting in trouble with the other presidents, I mean, she could be diplomatical sometimes, but if she meets a president who gives a damn about people dying or something, it's likely she'd punch him.
(Ok, that's what I'd do ... would you vote me for President? Yeah, imagine I'm Hermione Granger)

If Hermione had not gone to the Yule Ball with Victor Krum, who would she have gone with? Would she be too prideful to go with Ron?

Yes, I bet it so. Maybe she would have gone with Harry just to tell Ron how hurt she was by the fact he only asked her as a last resort, and that even was an asking! I'd be so furious Maybe she'd go with Malfoy No, if Viktor had not invited her, maybe she would have said yes to Neville, seeing that Ron didn't think of her.

If you could find a song that described Hermione, what would it be?

Oooh, Nine Days - Absolutely (Story of a girl) is great for her! I found this:

Blue Moon - Frank Sinatra

Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

I have no idea how the song is, but it seems like her. (It's not like she was depressed or something, but it's like if Ron had melt what she was before)

Ginny's character was scrutinized after she magically appeared in the fore-front of the sixth book to be Harry's love interest. Do you think that Hermione's character was consistent throughout the book series, or did she also experience some alterations after book 5?

I ... don't understand the question. Somebody, help?

Do you think that Hermione supported Ginny in her liking of Harry, or did she discourage her?

Oh, yes, of course she supported her! Wasn't her the one who advertised her about start dating another guys, so Harry will discover her like a grown girl? Yes, I think Ginny talked with her rather than with any of her friends, due that Hermione was Harry's friend, and if she told it to any of the other girls, maybe they think it was another kind of interest. I can see the two of them sharing chats about Harry and Ron ...

(nickers, sorry, sorry, I'll finish your avi soon!)

If you had a chance to vote Hermione Granger for President would you? What kind of President do you think she would be?

I missed a couple of questions...hmmm...YES I would vote for Hermione. She is very bright and cares about human and animal rights. I think she would be a great huminatarian. A president for the people!

If you could find a song that described Hermione, what would it be?

I think Brown Eyed Girl By: Van Morrison

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.


Well..she does have brown eyes....and I can see Ron thinking this song in his head when he sees Hermione.

Oh by the way does anyone know someone that can make me a really awesome Hermione siggy? Let me know

Hi! I'm back and wow this has gotten so far! 11 pages now! . okay so I'll answer a few questions and sorry if they're not really being talked about anymore.

I don't think she ever had braces. When it says "my parents wanted me to carry on with my braces" I think that just means that they were planning on her having braces, or maybe she had them before Hogwarts and then she had to have them again.(that happened to me). So it might just be the way it's said that it's confusing, but I don't think Hermione ever had braces.

If Hermione, by chance, had been put into Ravenclaw instead of Gryffindor would she still have become friends with Harry and Ron or would things have been completely different?
I don't think she would have been friends with Harry and Ron because they only became friends because they were in the same house. The only time they were together before they were sorted was in the train, and if that was their only meeting, I think Ron and Harry would have always thought of her as an annoying know-it-all. To expand on that question, who do you think Hermione would of been friends with, had she been sorted into Ravenclaw?
Some Ravenclaws in Hermione's year are Terry Boot, Padma Patil, Anthony Goldstein, and Michael Corner. I guess we haven't really read much about these characters, but I think she could have been friends with Padma.

Hey, that's interesting, harrypotterlover1024...about the braces thing...

Um yeah i was just reaidng Harry Potter 7 and when Ron and Hermione came back from the Chamber of Secrets from getting the basilisk fangs, Ron said that Hermione destroyed the Horcrux cup, and I was wondering what kind of fight you guys thought that it would've put up. I know that the locket had an image that made Ron a little angry... (with Riddle-Harry and Riddle-Hermone) so I was just thinking about what difficulties Hermione would've had in stabbing it.

Well it sucks lol I mean now us Hufflepuff don't have a cup haha no I am just kidding(: But I could imagine Hermione asking Ron how to do this. Where should she stab it, and going over the mechanics and saying are you sure don't you think that's impossible and just getting technical with him xD

Heehee makes sense...but nicky, we Ravenclaws have no diadem! All thanks to Crabbe and his fiendfyre! Lucky Gryffindors...they still have their sword!!!

That's true By the way I'd like to point out that I really like your third icon. With Harry asking if they're going out and everyone thinks that's a stupid question xD it's too funny. And yess :>

Sorry for missing so much,I didn't have internet,and once I got it back I've been kinda busy
I'm back though and will have a very long reply

If hermione had not gone to the Yule Ball with Victor Krum, who would she have gone with? Would she have been to prideful to go with Ron?
I don't think she would've gone with wrong,especially not after the scene in the Great Hall,chances are that she would've found someone else to go with,I mean it IS Hermione

Do you think that Hermione supported Ginny in her liking of Harry, or did she discourage her?
I think Hermione supported Ginny in her liking Harry,but like Ginny said,Hermione told her to just try to get over him and go out with people,just to make Ginny feel better

Seeing as Hermione is Muggle Born, when she recieved her letter, how do you think her muggle parents reacted at first? Do you think that they adjusted pretty well to the idea after sometime? Or they thought that it was all a freak thing like the Dursely's did? Were they visited by anybody from the wizarding world to explain them how "things work"?
I think her parents were very shocked and surprised at first,but than they realized that their daughter had always been different,and they accepted it.They were still afraid of wizards but they accepted it after...the 2nd year maybe.I'm pretty sure McGonagall(sp?) or Flitwick visited them and filled them in on everything,especially on how to get to Diagon Alley

In what ways did you think that Hermione showed magic? Was it like Lily who could do cool tricks like make a flower bloom or was she like Harry who was able to make strange things happen when his emotions ran high?
I think she was more like Lily,since she was less powerfull,yet still powerfull, she would be able to do small yet beautiful things

What do you guys think Hermione's childhood was like? Do you think it was her parents that made her so hard-working and focused on school or was that on her own accord?
I really do think her parents pushed her to do that well in school and after a while she would've been used to working hard and her parents layed off her,and she did it on her own accord

Would Hermione be the same person that we have grown to love if she would have been raised in a wizarding family as apposed to the muggle family in which she was raised?
I think she still would've had a love for house elves but I dont think she would be as interested in taking so many classes as she did in her 3rd year,because she would've known most of it already...although it is Hermione....so she might have stayed the same

Hermione has Ravenclaw traits and Griffyndor traits, and Hufflepuff is a house where it is mixed traits, do you all think that she belonged in Hufflepuff?
I think she could've been in all three but she fit in with Gryffindor more because even though she was really really smart,she still would've been brave enough to go out and fight Voldemort or break into the ministry,showing more Gryffindor traits than Ravenclaw. Hufflepuff is more for those who have an equal amount of mixed traits....if you know what i mean

Heehee thanks nicky potter I like that too...just found it today from...oh who was it? True Gryffindor Girl, I think...something like that.

OK, so we might need a new question...wait nevermind let's build off an old one!

If hermione had not gone to the Yule Ball with Victor Krum, who would she have gone with? Would she have been to prideful to go with Ron?
Let's change that to..

If Hermione had not been asked to the Yule Ball by Viktor Krum, would she have still turned down Neville?
I think that she would've found some way to get out of going with Neville...I don't know how, she'd figure something out..but I doubt she'd go with him (Although if she did, Harry might've ended up going with Ginny... )

Actually I was thinking that maybe Hermione would have gone with Neville I think that she might have done it out of common sourtesy. Hermione wouldn't have tunred him down. And if she did and saw that Ron wasn't going to ask then she would have brough the offer back up. And I don't think that Harry would have gone with Ginny. He would've still asked the twins for the sake of Ron as well. But maybe I am wrong. I am jus trying to think typical girl here.

OK, Nickers, you're right, Hermione probably wouldn't have been rude...she might've gone...but I don't think she'd've wholeheartedly wanted to....

I still think Harry might've gone with Ginny though. Because after Hermione told Ron she was already going with someone, he said something like this "OK, this is crazy. Harry, you can go with Ginny, and I--" and then Ginny said she was going with Neville. So I still think so...even though I may be way wrong

hmmm... i'm not sure if Hermione would have gone with Neville. If he asked her i think it would go something like this

"Uh, Hermione do you think you'd come to the Yule Ball with me?" asked Neville in a quiet voice as his eyes dropped down to the floor.
"Oh!" said Hermione as she too looked down at the ground out of embarrassment. "Um, sure Neville, I'll go, but just as friends right?"

Or something like that... Hermione would probably feel bad for Neville not having a date, but she wouldn't want to lead him on. Just like what Harry did to Luna for Sluggys Christmas party. But i am pretty sure that IF hermione did go with Neville that harry would have gone with ginny, but at the time he liked cho so it wouldnt have made a difference.

~Kate

Yes, padfootx3! That sounds right!



That would be how it would work out, I say! And I still think Harry would go with Ginny!

If Hermione had not gone to the Yule Ball with Victor Krum, who would she have gone with? Would she have been to prideful to go with Ron?

I don't think she would have gone with Ron because they had still been fighting and getting annoyed with each other. I definitely think she would have been to prideful to go with him. I think she probably would have gone with Neville.

If Hermione had not been asked to the Yule Ball by Viktor Krum, would she have still turned down Neville? I think that she would have gone with him if he asked her.I feel that she would have felt sorry for him that he couldn't get a date and gone with him out of remorse( I think that's the word I mean)

-Kel

Wow! 2 new pages since I left. I really don't have time right now to answer any questions, but I'm leaving to go home soon (I'm at a friend's grandma's work), and then I can answer these questions.

Oh. Props to Nicky for helping me out while I'm gone, thanks to DeSs for agreeing to be the official avie/siggy designer, thanks to our new members (I'll be PMing you with rules and stuff), and thanks to all members for supporting Hermione while I was gone!

I'll type soon! *starts bawling uncontrollably* The thing that stinks is a few days after I get home, I leave for another week. Nickers, expect to have the same job. I might or I might not choose you again, but you did a great job, so I probably will pick you.

Thanks, everyone!

Sadie

Ok maybe if it were true that Ron said that Haarry can go with Ginny, but also think about this, there are plenty of guys that liked Ginny too. And any of them could've asked her, but Neville probably got to her first. So that would probably mean that even if Neville and Hermione would have gone, she would have done it out of common courtesy, but state from the beginning that they're just friends. And it was more than likely that even if Ginny wanted to go with Harry and wait for him to ask, some other guy would have an hence the story continues but not as dramatic as it would have been with Hermione and Viktor


Nickers<3

I have time to answer one question, but I chose it randomly.

Hermione has Ravenclaw traits and Griffyndor traits, and Hufflepuff is a house where it is mixed traits, do you all think that she belonged in Hufflepuff?

I think that what the sorting hat chooses is for the best. enough said.

Well, I hope to type more soon! I might actually get to type some more while I'm here. Hmmmm....

Hello, Hello! I hope you don't mind if I join you.. Hermione is my favourite character in the series so when I saw this topic I was I guess.. happy?!

Well anyway, I saw you had a whole page full of question so I'll just go on answering them then!


If hermione had not gone to the Yule Ball with Victor Krum, who would she have gone with? Would she have been to prideful to go with Ron?

She would have definatly been too pridefull to go with Ron, as he saw her as her last resort! I don't really know who she'll go with.. Maybe someone else would ask her like seamus or dean or something?? Or maybe a smart guy from Ravenclaw or something (hmmm..)

Do you think that Hermione supported Ginny in her liking of Harry, or did she discourage her?

Well, she was the one saying that Ginny should start dating other people( and did she also say that then Harry would notice Ginny?? I honestly can't remember) Well if she did say that then maybe she had sort of found that out herself seeing as Ron started noticing her when she went to the Ball with Krum, so maybe she gave Ginny a helpful tips ... As a summary I would say that Hermione would definetly support Ginny in her liking of Harry!!


Seeing as Hermione is Muggle Born, when she recieved her letter, how do you think her muggle parents reacted at first? Do you think that they adjusted pretty well to the idea after sometime? Or they thought that it was all a freak thing like the Dursely's did? Were they visited by anybody from the wizarding world to explain them how "things work"?

I think that someone from the School visited her to explain her how the world of magic worked and that she was a witch... I think her parents would have been shocked at first (obvously).. but then they would embrace the fact that she was special and she was gifted, especially as they learned more about this world, but it would take some time though.


In what ways did you think that Hermione showed magic? Was it like Lily who could do cool tricks like make a flower bloom or was she like Harry who was able to make strange things happen when his emotions ran high?

I think she would make magic like Lily... It just suits her more than letting her magic go crazy whenever she is angry, but what do I know.. Maybe there is a difference between boys and girls on this point!


What do you guys think Hermione's childhood was like? Do you think it was her parents that made her so hard-working and focused on school or was that on her own accord?

I think it was her parents who inspired her to be hard-working. It is just something about the environment you are grown up to!


Would Hermione be the same person that we have grown to love if she would have been raised in a wizarding family as apposed to the muggle family in which she was raised?

she would not have had to fight against wizards thinking they are better then her, just because they are not muggleborns.. And they definatly would not have called her a mudblood! but I imagn that she might grow up to not so much of a library-addict as she is because she knows everything on before-hand because she has learned it from her family.


Hermione has Ravenclaw traits and Griffyndor traits, and Hufflepuff is a house where it is mixed traits, do you all think that she belonged in Hufflepuff?

I think we'll have to ask the sorting hat about that!!

oh jeez! i miss this thread! being awayy i didnt miss anything about home except VTM =]

Would Hermione be the same person that we have grown to love if she would have been raised in a wizarding family as apposed to the muggle family in which she was raised?
Great question!! Well as we all know sometimes Hermione can be a little stubborn and sometimes haughty about always being right. If she was raised by pure blood wizards she might have been very different. she might have loved pure bloods but i dont think she would have become a future death eater... i cant see her following someone elses orders all the time.

Hermione has Ravenclaw traits and Griffyndor traits, and Hufflepuff is a house where it is mixed traits, do you all think that she belonged in Hufflepuff?
hmmm i always thought of hufflepuff as more of a loyalty trait, but hermiones got that too. But i think the sorting hat was right in putting her in gryffindor because she most certainly showed her bravery in the 7th book. of course she is very smart and would be a great addition to Ravenclaw, but if hermione wasnt in gryffindor the whole story would be different =(

~katee

Hey can join? I love Hermione! I answered all the questions!
---------------------------------
Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermoine better than the Hermione you see in the books?

yes, cause i don't have a good imagination. so there for I would rather watch the movie to get a good review. and Emma Watson IS THE BOMB!!!!!!! lol!

Which book did you really notic Hermione had developed + become a true gryffindor?

I think Hermione became a true gryffindor in book1, because of the troll scene. She didn't have to lie for Ron and Harry, but she did anyways!

Do you think that Hermione has always liked Ron or did she just start to like him in books 4+?

I think that Hermione started liking Ron in book 4, cause she was more vulnerable during tri wizard tornament - meaning more friends and less studying.

Do you think Hermione dated Krum for revenge or because she really had a crush on him?

I think she dated Krum because she really liked him and not for revenge. i also think she dated Krum because Krum was the most famouse quidditch world cup rider and player.

What do you think Hermione was like before she came to hogwarts? Was she just as good a student as she was in Hogwarts? What kind of friends did she have?

I think she always had good grades and i think she had frieds that studied a lot and that were book smart and stuck on them selves, like Hermione. duh!! lol!

[b]Do you think you'd get along with Hermione? If so why? If not why?[/b]

I think I would get along with Hermione cause we are both book smart,we both know how to have a good time with our friends and we no a spell when we see one. lol!!!

What do you think made the Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor?

I think that the Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor because Gryffindor is about courage and wit and smarts and ummm...hello...she has all those traits. Now mind you she would also do well in Raveclaw (like me) cause it is about being crazy...I'm kidding! But she would do well in any house honestly!

Why is Hermione's patronus an otter?

I don't know! But if I had to guess I think it's because otter's are very smart and cunning and can slip thier way out of trouble. Like she does...alot! LOL!

In the first movie we saw who Hermione was. Do you think it was her courage that had her carry herself like it that or is it that she's just booksmart and knows what she is talking about?

Me no understand??!!?! Me is very consuded! Please explain!

Do you think Hermione let love walk all over her when it came to Ron? Or was she on the the right track and had the right amount of love for Ron?

I think she was on the right track and did have the right amount of love for Ron. But honestly, when it comes to love is there really a right and wrong amount?

When Hermione found out she was a witch how did she react? Did she believe it? Or did she always know she was different?

I think she always knew that she was different becauseof CoS when Draco called her a "mudblood". She was the one who explained it to Harry.

Do you think that Hermione ever liked Harry, or did she always have the hots for Ron?

I think that she always had the "hots" for Ron. But loved Harry as a brother.

Braces? Did Hermione have braces?

I don't think she did but she could have when she was younger but in the movie or even in her description in the book she NEVER had braces.

Had Hermione not been told she was a witch and had grown up in the muggle society, what job occupation would she have taken?

Well of course she would have kicked butt as anything. But I think she would have excelled as a teacher for maybe 3rd graders.

If Hermione had by chance, been put into Ravenclaw instead of Gryffindor would she still have become friends with Harry and Ron or would have things been completely different?

Well it could have gone either way, but I do believe they would have still been friends. But honestly if it wasn't Hermione being thier friend it would have been someone else, but I am glad that it was Hermione!

What was Hermione's wizarding occupation?

Well like her muggle job she would have done well in anything. But also like her muggle job I saw she would excell as a potion, charms, or transfiguration teacher. But she most definately would not have been a good flying teacher! LOL!

If you had a chance to vote Hermione Granger for President would you? What kind of President do you think she would be?

Heck yeah I would vote for Hermione. I think she would be alot smarter and nicer and more in depth with people than Barrak or Hillary or even Bush! DUH! LOL!

If Hermione had not gone to the Yule Ball with Victor Krum, who would she have gone with? Would she be too prideful to go with Ron?

I think she would have been to prideful to go with Ron with him being such a "smart alleck" when he had asked her. I think she would have rather stayed in her room and studied!

If you could find a song that described Hermione, what would it be?

I think it should be this

Natasha Bedingfield Pocketful Of Sunshine Lyrics

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it\'s all mine.
Oh.

Do what you want, but you\'re never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No.

Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape: Take me away.

Take me away, to better days.
Take me away: A hiding place.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it\'s all mine.
Oh.

Ginny's character was scrutinized after she magically appeared in the fore-front of the 6th book to be Harry's love interest. Do you think that Hermione's character was consistent throughout the book series, or did she also experience some alterations after book 5?

If you are asking if she got jealous because of Ginny and Harry's relationship...then I have to say NO. Because she encouraged thier relationship.

Do you think that Hermione supported Ginny in her liking Harry, or did she discourage her?

Well Hermione was the one that told Ginny to start dating other people so this way Harry will start noticing her as a girl and not as Ron's sister. and maybe just maybe he'll want to be her love interest.

Seeing as Hermione is Muggle Born, when she recieved her letter, how do you think her muggle parents reacted at first? Do you think that they adjusted pretty well to the idea after sometime? Or they just thought that it was a freak thing like the Dursley's did? Were they visited by anybody from the wizarding world to explain to them how "things work"?

Seriously, how would your parents react? I believe that they adjusted pretty well, I mean considering ya know. They will never be like the Dursley's...I mean they did show up at Diagon Alley. I believe they were visited by an older wizard...possibly the Minister of Magic.

In what ways did you think that Hermione showed magic? Was it like Lily who could do cool tricks like make a flower bllom or was she like Harry who was able to make strange things happen when his emotions ran high?

I believe she was like both. On a good day she could make cute little things happen. On a moody day yeah totally make wierd things happen.

What do you guys think Hermione's childhood was like? Do you think it was her parents that made her so hard-working and focused on school or was that on her own accord?

Well i think she was focused and hard-working because both herself and her parents. As for a childhood goes it don't do any good to guess.

Would Hermione be the same person that we have grown to love if she had been raised in a wizarding family as apposed to the muggle family in which she was raised?

I believe she would still be nice and awsome. But seriously I don't think she would have studied so much. LOL!

Hermione has Ravenclaw traits and Gryffindor traits and Hufflepuff is a house where it is mixed traits do you think that she belonged in Hufflepuff?

She would have been great in any of the houses. But Gryffindor was her house for some reason.

How did the Sorting Hat decide?

I honestly don't know how the Sorting Hat decides these things. We all know that the Sorting Hat looks inside your head, but honestly I also think it looks inside your heart. Because you can think anything! But what you feel in your heart is always true!

Well, I guess we need a new member list.

My comment still stands. We need more questions to keep this thread up and running!

Hmmmmm.....

What were her parents names?

That always bugged me. I'm not sure if they mentioned it. I know in the 7th book she put a charm on them so that they thought their names were different, but I really don't know what their names originally were.

I know that's a lame question, so someone come up with another one!

Thanks. Oh, and I did get a reply from BRoyals from when I sent her the list. I hope everyone else follows it! That would be really great. I just recently started sending out the rules, so if you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks nickers and you really had me laughing...

read it carefully... can you find the typo

What were her parents names?
Well i was under the impression that her mom's name was Mrs. and her dad's name was Mr... haha jk uhh- i got nothinggg, although maybe her mom's name was Jean because that was her middle name but other than that i have no leads.

~Kate

Sadie I've looked for Hermione's parents' real name and I can't find it. I don't think Rowling ever mentioned it. Maybe Hermione's history will be in her encyclopedia. However, she did change their names like you mentioned to Wendell and Monica Wilkins

I never answered the braces questions...and I know there was a lot of speculation. But I do know that BOTH of Hermione's parents are dentists and I found this little tidbit.

Hermione’s parents are Muggle dentists (PS12). They are very proud of their brilliant daughter, but they don’t seem much of her since she took up with those two boys, Potter and Weasley. The Grangers, while accepting the Wizarding world and their daughter's place in it, do not approve of using magic for quick fixes. They insisted, for example, that Hermione's somewhat oversized front teeth be dealt with in the usual way: with braces. They send healthy snacks by owl to Hermione at Hogwarts and come with her to Diagon Alley in August to help her buy her things for school.

Seeing as Hermione is Muggle Born, when she recieved her letter, how do you think her muggle parents reacted at first? Do you think that they adjusted pretty well to the idea after sometime? Or they thought that it was all a freak thing like the Dursely's did? Were they visited by anybody from the wizarding world to explain them how "things work"?
Someone from the wizarding world came to explain it to them, so that would probably convince them better than a letter. They were probably shocked, but were then proud of their daughter. I think it was the same as were Lily's parents were. They were proud of her, but also felt different from her. A sort of separation between them.

In what ways did you think that Hermione showed magic? Was it like Lily who could do cool tricks like make a flower bloom or was she like Harry who was able to make strange things happen when his emotions ran high?
Wow I have always wondered this, and I'm so glad someone asked this question! I've always thought Hermione was like Lily. There are many similar things about them. So i think her magic was things like Lily's, not like dangerous things when she was angry, but I think she could control it better.

What do you guys think Hermione's childhood was like? Do you think it was her parents that made her so hard-working and focused on school or was that on her own accord?
I kinda get the feeling that she has always been independent and intelligent, and she parents just stood by and watched. I don't think her parents made her hard-working, thats just her personality.

Haha xD yes I can actually, and that typo that you see there, is the MOST common typo to occur with me. *sigh* Word to the wise, don't type when in a hurry thanks for pointing it out padfootx3

haha i loveeee typos they make reading interesting

back to hermione... i felt really bad for her parents when she ditched them the christmas of her fifth year... obviously she wanted to be by Ron after that tragedy but she lied to them and told them she was going to be at school and her parents had noooo idea that she wasnt there. Also, most of the summer she is at the burrow so she barely spends time with her family. That must be tough for her parents to have their daughter immersed in such a different world that they hardly see her poor mr. and mrs. granger...


~Kate

I never really thought about that, but you're right. We only see the Grangers, like, once in the entire series, and I don't think they have any speaking parts. You just see Mr. Weasly talking to them, and that's all. Sometimes they mention her righting her parents, but it's normally when something big happened, not just to say that she misses them.

They may have made Hermione into the girl she is, all hard-working and determined and stuff, but I think her personality being like that is a bit of a down side for them. She works on school stuff all the time and is so dedicated to the magical world that you don't get the feeling her parents get much attention from her. We're all sure she loves them in her own way, but the passing reference they get from both Hermione and JK Rowling makes me feel kind of bad for them.

I totally agree. Her parents must wonder what goes on in Hermione's life. I doubt Hermione tells them EVERYTHING. They must get kinda lonely...knowing that Hermione is their only child and she's not around much. But then again...there are more important things for Hermione to be doing...like helping Harry and whatnot. I'm sure after she finishes school and is settled down a bit she has a better relationship with her parents. If you think about it..it's kinda normal. When kids go off to college...you're kinda in your own little world. Some go home for Holiday's and stuff and others take the opportunity to travel with friends and whatever.

I was about to ask you all about your points of view in regarding to Hermione relation with her parents. You see, I'm writing a fic and I'm being bugged for that. Do you think they had a close trait? Everytime I think about it, it comes that even in that we resemble. I'd like to get a closer look to it.
Hermione didn't see her parents in all the year. In Christmas, the chance to get back home to say hello at least, she chose to spend it at Hogwarts, or wherever Ron and Harry where. The only Christmas Hermione spent at home were the first one in PS and in HBP, because she was mad at Ron. In OotP, she left her parents when they were planning on go to ski. When her mother hugged her, same book, she quickly released from her. She always sneaked off them! I'm not trying to say she didn't love them nor anything of the sort. I love my parents, but I wasn't raised in a home full of love, we can say. I mean, my parents are not the demonstrative kind that hugs you and kiss you all the time. They allow me to go out almost to any place, don't ask too much and I'm glad if I'm away, despite after some time I begin to miss them. Well, that's another point -- I have an excellent relation with my mum, but a horrid one with my dad. I know this could seem like a catharsis of my life, but it's just to ask: how's it going on there?
Maybe you're right, Hermione17; I like your points because it's exactly what I thought. That she later became much more closer with them.
And perhaps, they're concerned about her, but as she's their only child and she's intelligent, they didn't want to find out much? I don't know, how do you think her parents took Ron? Did they get on well with him and the fact he was dating with Hermione?

I think Hermione's parents would have taken to Ron pretty easily. I mean he's respectful and he's not pompous..like Malfoy. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley raised their kids to be well mannered adults. And Ron can be funny at times so I think they got along just fine.

It must of been hard for Hermione...her parents are muggles and she is in this totally different world that she can't really explain to them. Not to mention all the danger she goes through every year at Hogwarts. So the only people she really has that understands is Ron and Harry. She probably feels more comfortable staying with the Weasley's and not her own family because her parents really don't have a clue. If someone tried to tell me they were a witch and tried to explain "their" world...I don't think I would understand it all. And that's probably how her parents feel and how Hermione feels. They know they raised a good kid and they trust her...so I think that makes Hermione comfortable enough in her own skin to break away from them and do the things she needs to do...at least until ..like I said...she settles down and everything goes back to normal

Teenage years are a strange time! and when you get older you finally realize what it means to be an adult and things change. Your relationships change.

I have ALWAYS been very very close to my mom..but my dad and I drifted apart for a little while. I grew up ( and I think he did too) and our relationship became really close again. So I just think it's a time in Hermione's life where everything is NOT peachy and she has a lot more to worry about than visiting her parents. What if something happened to Harry or Ron and she wasn't there? They need her...more than her parents do I think. I'm sure Hermione had some sort of contact with them...letters or phones calls. She would never just shut them out.

Yea I see where many of you are coming from. But I don't think that it's anything bad. I mean I was actually pretty oblivious to how she treated her parents. I never really thought any of it. I think that the one in her fifth year, we really can't blame I mean she likes a guy and if she has a chance to spend christmas together then by all means, do it and all those other times that she shows up early to the weasley's is thanks to Ginny. I mean they became fast friends. And I think that Ginny might have been the only one to know her crush. So I think that she invited her to places with them, or invited her over for the rest of the summer, in result Hermione tells her parents almost every year, that for the rest of the summer she is going to be with friends. Unless the family has met then I don't know. Sorry for the off topin-ness it just flowed with what I was saying But all in all. I think that her and her parents had a fairly well relationship. She talked to her about school and grades. I don't know, I am just rambling

Yea i don't think Hermione's parents see much of her. Because she is a witch, and they are muggles, they are kind of detached from each other. Hermione is gone at school all year. During the summer, when she has time to be with her parents, she is mostly at the Weasley's. During the holidays she also leaves her parents to be with Ron and Harry. I think it is hard to remain close with her parents because they live in separate worlds. Its probably sad for Mr. and Mrs. Granger, because they are in awe of their daughter, and the world she is now part of, but they feel disconnected from her.

I don't know about some of you but I feel like this converation has turned a sad point lol I feel depressed just thinking about how her parents are lonely and want to be more closer to there daughter, now that she has a life in a new world.

Well, if you want a different topic,

What would you do if there was a Draco/Hermione shipper? (Throw tomatoes at JKR, cry, laugh, think it's cool, deal with it, etc.)

Kinda stupid, I know. I was trying really hard to come up with a happier question. Not that that's much better!

OH GOD! I don't even know where this D/H shipping began, or how it started. I have no idea who could've thought such a thing. I mean if there were clues pointing to there 'love' someone let me know and point it out. I wouldn't know if that actually happened in the book. Maybe I would have been what the eff? Lol honestly. And well wow. I don't know I might have been emotionless. xD

What would you do if there was a Draco/Hermione shipper? (Throw tomatoes at JKR, cry, laugh, think it's cool, deal with it, etc.)

Ummm...I wouldn't be very happy that's for sure. Hermione could do a lot better than Draco. And for someone so intelligent...I'm glad she didn't go there. I doubt that thought entered into Rowlings brain and if it did then shame shame on her! LOL seriously, I would have been like what? Did I read that right? And probably would have to go back and check a few times. But ultimately I would just deal with it.

What would you do if there was a Draco/Hermione shipper? (Throw tomatoes at JKR, cry, laugh, think it's cool, deal with it, etc.)

Well, it's weird kind of weird for me, because I've known since the CoS movie that it was going to be Ron/Hermione. Although it does make a lot more sense than the Hermione/Snape one did. (no offense if you're a H/S shipper) At least Draco is her age. But I just would have been disappointed. There were some things I thought would happen in the books (Sirius coming back, Remus continuing to live, Luna having a bigger role) that just didn't, so I lived. If it annoys me enough, I'd write a fan fic and twist it around so it worked how I wanted it to.

I'm back!!!

What would you do if there was a Draco/Hermione shipper? (Throw tomatoes at JKR, cry, laugh, think it's cool, deal with it, etc.)

I think I would laugh and then cry. Laugh because Hermione wouldn't even think of it in my mind. Cry because that would be awful. Really awful. I don't think I'd ever throw tomatoes at JKR. She wrote my favorite book series.

What were her parents names?

That sure gets someone thinking! The only mention of their names was when Hermione changed them- Wendall and Monica Willkins. Jean sounds like a good possibility for her mom's name, but poor Mr. Granger remains nameless. Their "names" did pop up occasionally, but they weren't too important. JKR never mentioned them anywhere. Now I know why we needed a new question; it's so sad to think that Hermione- our favorite character- was realted to people who weren't important enough to have names

What would you do if there was a Draco/Hermione shipper? (Throw tomatoes at JKR, cry, laugh, think it's cool, deal with it, etc.)

I, personally, would throw tomatoes at JKR. I can't imagine Hermione falling for Draco, or vica-versa. I would accept it eventually, but that just does not work out in my books. Ron is perfect for Hermione (I think )

Then again, I might laugh because it is just so ridiculous!

What would you do if there was a Draco/Hermione shipper? (Throw tomatoes at JKR, cry, laugh, think it's cool, deal with it, etc.)

Haha, apparently, I'm the only one that would find great amusement in this pairing. Though I do not ship that particular uh...ship, I would find it highly amusing. It's kind of a forbidden love. The best girl friend falls for the enemy. I'm a sucker for Draco though because I just think he's a big softie. Poor fellow.

To whoever was keeping tabs on the member list....Might I suggest that the member list be kept in the very first post of this thread? Whoever made the first post can simply go back and Quick Edit member names into that post. Then you won't have to do it in the middle of the thread. Kind of like the way the Ron Weasley Thread is set up. Might be easier for you.

What would you do if there was a Draco/Hermione shipper? (Throw tomatoes at JKR, cry, laugh, think it's cool, deal with it, etc.)

No, Droobles. You're not alone! I'd actually find that one highly amusing. I'd be kind of sorry for Ron, because he would'nt get Hermione, but all in all I think it would be highly romantic. Like Romeo and Juliet! As Droobles said, sort of like a forbidden love. Smartest girl in Hogwarts falls for her best friend's enemy. Has a nice ring to it, no? I wouldn't throw tomatoes at JKR. She's too cool and the relationship would be too romantic...

Well, I am keeping the tabs on- dum dum dum! "THE LIST", but I acutally find it easier to just copy and paste, because the original member list is on the very first page, but down at the bottom. No one would really look there. So I just think more people would see it if it were posted every once in a while. (Or whenever 3+ members join or something maybe!)

Hermione and Draco would sort of have the air of Romeo and Juliet, wouldn't it? The popular, rich guy (Draco, naturally) falls for the one girl you'd never expect. (Hermione being a muggle-born, Gryffindor, and the smartest in their year) You're right, it probably would have been very romantic, and also highly entertaining. But, like other people said, I'd feel bad for Ron. I mean, the guy feels threatened when Grawp almost flirts with her in the OotP movie. How do you think he'd take Hermione going out with Draco? Not well would be my guess.

awww i would feel sooooo bad for ickle ronniekins!! i wouldntt be happy at all if there was a d/h ship! who would ron be with? i think he's the only guy for our hermyy...

I was reading through and nicky potter said something veryy interesting a few post ago, i wanted to put it into question form but all credit goes to nicky!!(bringing up about hermione confiding in ginny made me think of this)

Do you think that Hermione confided in anybody that she liked Ron?
i'm not entirely sure, i think hermione is kind of the type to keep those sort of things to herself and just let it happen if its meant to happen, but if i were her i wouldnt be able to keep it in! i would have to tell someone! I don't think she would have told her parents because that would be weird since they barely know him and she barely sees them. I'm not sure if she would have told Ginny because its kind of weird to be like "heyy, umm, i like your brother-" you know? What do you guys think?

~Kate

Do you think that Hermione confided in anybody that she liked Ron?

Theres a good possibility that she kept it to her self. Atleast I don't remember reading anything where she tells someone how much she likes Ron. If she did tell someone I think it would be either Ginny or Harry. Ginny...because they are girls and girls talk about guys...thats a fact. And they are really good friends. And Harry...well he already knows doesn't he. You can just tell by the way Hermione and Ron act around each other. And again she's very good friends with Harry, I think she would feel confident and comfortable in telling Harry she likes Ron.

What would you do if there was a Draco/Hermione shipper? (Throw tomatoes at JKR, cry, laugh, think it's cool, deal with it, etc.)

Aaaahh!! First, I think the first option is suitable for me. Then I'll throw myself from the higest tower. No, a nightmare. A prat like Malfoy?! No way. Nothing to do with Hermione. But it's amusing just for the ridiculousness of all.

Do you think that Hermione confided in anybody that she liked Ron?

Yes, I agree in that she's not the kind of girl too fond of go telling confidences to anybody. Half because she's been always too proud as to admit it, and half because she in an unsure girl and telling something so important will let her in a state of exposure, I think. Maybe, as Ginny told her about Harry and she helped her with him, she could have told her, or act like she always did with Harry, but more explicit, you know ... I'm not sure if I was clear.

What do you think, the Grangers had more relatives? Hermione had never mentioned a grandmother, for example. It's kind of weird. Well, it all it's kind of weird if you think of it; we're finding a bunch of gaps here

Yeah! That is weird. Now that you mention it, Dess. I am finding so many gaps that I had never noticed before! Boy am I glad I started this thread...

Do you think that Hermione confided in anybody that she liked Ron?

I think (like Dess) that she might've confided in Ginny. Who else would she have told? I think that Ginny would've understood. She's just that kind of person.

Here's one that kind of bugs me.

Why was Hermione in that classroom (right before she was going to attack Ron with canaries) in the first place?

I don't know if that's been covered already, or if it was said in the book, because I can't remember.

Do you think that Hermione confided in anybody that she liked Ron?

I don't think she did. She seems like the kind of person who keeps those sorts of things to herself. Her best friends were Harry and Ron ; she couldn't tell them, and I imagine Ginny (her other good friend) would have kind of the same reaction as Ron did when Ginny and Harry were together. So Ginny couldn't be told. The others girls in their year are kind of giggle/gossipy girls and Hermione definately wouldn't tell them. She just isn't the type to tell people those kind of things and there was no one to tell.

Why was Hermione in that classroom (right before she was going to attack Ron with canaries) in the first place?

I think she just went there to sulk because she liked Ron and he was snogging "Lav-Lav".

I have a question:
What is your favorite thing about Hermione?

I think my favorite part about Hermione is the fact that she is so loyal to the trio. She stuck with her good friends until the end, and she usually tried to patch things up. Even when Ron and Harry turned on her at different points in the series, she still stayed loyal to them.
