I hope this isn't already a topic! If it is, oh well! This topic is for all those who love Hermione and want to talk about her and learn more about her! I'll start the first question. Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?

Feedback, feedback, feedback!

EDIT: please read the first 5 posts before you post. thanks!

Hello! I guess I'm first?
Ok well I really love Hermione and I saw this new thread so i figured I'd join!

Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?

I actually never visualized Hermione,or anyone in the books when I first read them because I just wasn't into reading than. But I'm really happy that Emma Watson got the part of Hermione I couln't possibly imagine anyone else playing her Now it's hard for me to visualize anyone else other than Emma Watson playing Hermione

Hello!

Sorry to intrude, but most fan clubs, unofficial or not, have to be pre-approved by a Moderator. We approve them beforehand because there would probably be a ridiculous amount of fan-threads if all the possible ones could ever be opened. You can send in a request for this fan club if you like.

But until then, you could always use the Search tool to find Hermione topics such as the Hermione general discussion after DH, or the Unofficial Emma Watson Fan Club if you so choose.

If you'd like this thread to be reopened, just send a request to me or another member of the Wizengamot, and we'll make a decision for you.
For now, Topic Locked.

After review, this thread gets to be reopened.

Please be sure to stay on topic and keep the discussion flowing! This is all about Hermione in here! Have fun!

Hi! Well, my favorite character in the whole series is Hermione, so I guess this is the place for me!

Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?


Well, I was little when the movies came out, so I actually saw the movie before I read the book. So I sort of pictured Emma Watson as Hermione. Or was it Hermione as Emma Watson? And when I did form my own image of Hermione, it pretty much measured up to Emma and how she played the part.

Personally, I am very happy with the way Hermione was portrayed in the movies. She's done a lot better than some of the characters.

To answer my own question, I think that Emma was a good choice for Hermione. She is exactly how I pictured her. I even pictured her growing up to look just like Emma Watson! I also forgot to add that occasionally I will create a reply with the member list. So far, this is it:

(if you want to include Just the Droobles, who, by the way, deserves thanks for letting me start this thread. Thanks! )

So ask others to add replies to this. This would be a great thread, we've just got to keep it rolling!

Hey Smiley/sadie_urlady523! Thanks for this awesome fan club! I hope you don't mind if I join!

Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?

Good question. After I saw the HP movies, all my images of each characterdisappeared and were replaced with the actor/actress (Especially with Mad eye Moody!).I like the Hermione I had imagined better than Emma Watson, though. I do love Emma Watson and I think she's a great actress, and I love how she's developed Hermione throughout the years, but I still imagine a different bushy-haired (first year) with her two big front teeth (no offense, Hermione) Hermione than the one in the movie

And by the way, sadie_urlady523, do you want us to add something in our siggy or profile about being in this fan club? I know that's what the Wise and Wonderful (Dumbledore's fan club) wanted us to do.

What sort of thing would that be? I mean, would we just write "The Unofficial Hermione Fan Club" or have some sort of cool icon? Or would it be, like, a link to this discussion? Just out of curiosity, you know.

Oh, and by the way, did you guys know that Emma Watson actually didn't have great teeth and had to have braces? I don't know if she does anymore, but I know she definitely did for a while.

Hey forsaken_wolfess, looks like you replied just minutes after I did! Yeah, I had just been thinking about writing 'The Unofficial Hermione Fan Club' in our siggies...um...I have no idea how to do a link to the thread, though....

Hey, here's a question for all of you!

Which book did you really notice Hermione had developed and became a true Gryffindor?

I'm kind of saying, what was her moment of glory (book of glory)?

I think that I noticed it in the later books...I'm rereading the third and Hermione's done a lot of smart things so far, though, too. Obviously, the seventh one was a good one for her, too. It was almost everybody's moment of glory... Okay, maybe name another one besides the seventh book, everyone was a hero in the seventh book!

Go Hermione!!!! (And all her fans! )

Bookworm_1918, when you go to the page where you edit your siggie, there's an icon in the toolbar that says 'insert link'. There's one where you post, too. It looks like a little globe with a chain (or link ) in front of it. You enter the web address, and then call it 'The unofficial Hermione Fan Club' or whatever. It's just that easy.

Anyway, onto the discussion question:

Which book did you really notice Hermione had developed and became a true Gryffindor?

Well, you do certainly notice it more in the later books, when Hermione and Ron start doing some of the dangerous stuff right with Harry. But I first noticed her being a Gryffindor back in book one or two, when she said stuff about being right being more important than following the rules.

Sorcerer's Stone Movie:


She values bravery and loyalty, two very important Gryffindor elements. For some time, I've thought that sorting was really based off the traits you value, not the ones you possess.

Hermione, ever since the troll in book one, has played by the book, but is willing to bend the rules to help others and do the right thing. That, to me, makes her a true Gryffindor.

Ok. New rule. You have to have something about being a member of the Unofficial Hermione Fan Club in you signature. I also added a link, which is optional, but I would prefer that you do that. Thanks! Oh, and welcome to the club, bookworm_1918 !

Which book did you really notice Hermione had developed and became a true Gryffindor?

Whoops! I forgot to answer the question! Well, I definately think that in the later books, she becomes more mature and has more "glory moments". I also think that everyone thinks that "Hermy" is a great witch, and had many glory moments throughout her time at Hogwarts.

Great! Thanks, forsaken_wolfess. My brain is shot for tonight and so are my legs after running and serving and dribbling a ball all day (volleyball and basketball). I can think up some more questions tonight...in my dream..no I'm just kidding...but I'll be on here tomorrow...

GO HERMIONE GRANGER AND ALL HER LOVING FANS!! :-)

Ahh yay can i join? Hermione is my favorite character...well i guess her and ron tie.
Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?
Well i saw the movie first, and then got into the books so i always pitcured Hermione as emma Watson. But i kinda do like the way she does it better than who i see in the books. i think she makes the character more real, and not just a bossy know it all.

Welcome, harrypotterlover1024! And yes, you can join! All you have to do is post. Just remeber to add that you are a member of The Unofficial Hermione Fan Club. If possible, make a link to it as well. I actually think that Emma should've been more bossy. Then not everyone would be easy-going about schoolwork. Everyone needs the bossy teacher's pet!

Yes, she should have been a sort of bossy, slave-driving homework coach, shouldn't she? If you think about it, she is very much the teacher's pet in most of their classes, minus the ones they take with Professor Snape. Mcgonagall, Sprout, Flitwick, Lupin, Lockhart, and Slughorn all praise her highly and often throughout the series.

But, now that I think about it, how many times do we actually see Harry, Ron, and Hermione doing homework in any of the movies? The answer seems to be not much. Maybe that's why we're not seeing the 'work, work, work!' Aspect of her?

She can be bossy, though. Especially in the first two movies, you see her guiding Harry and Ron through many of their adventures, and she doesn't care if she's subtle about it or not. In the PoA movie, she slacks off a bit, but she's so busy with her stuff she probably doesn't have any time to worry about what Ron and Harry are doing. She never looses the bossiness, though.

It kind of makes sense for me to join the discussion.

Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?
Like a lot of people, I saw the movies before I read the books. I saw the first three movies, and after PoA I started to read the books. So...in all actuality, I always picture everyone as they appear in PoA. The only person that appears after book 3 that I see the actor in my head instead of some other vision is Luna. Other than her, everyone after that is my own creation.

In a way, I almost think Hermione/Emma has gotten too pretty. I'm not saying that the character is supposed to be ugly, but Emma as Hermione just makes the character see so much more girly and...well-kept. At this point, book 6 and on, that's okay, but I never really pictured her as a primper.

I just hope Emma is able to keep her character as true as possible since it seems other things are just being changed at will.

Hey everybody! Welcome to the Hermione Fan Club, harrypotterlover1024! And of course Just the Droobles...

Even if I did (but I can't remember) see one of the movies before the books, I used my own images of the characters...and I don't watch the movies alot, because as the books get longer, the movie has to take out even more of the book, sometimes even my favorite parts!. I think all the actresses (Especially Emma Watson) have done a great job, but I'd prefer to read the books anyday!

I actually kind of do wish that the script for the movie had allowed to let Emma Watson be 'Bossy Hermione' and 'The Teacher's Pet' "The Know-It-All'. In the first movie they try to put that in, but in the third book Hermione is swamped with homework because of the Time-Turner and I think homework and Hermione's bossiness should have been brought out a little more in the later movies... Like sadie_urlady523 said,

GO HERMIONE!

I'll have to agree with "Just the Droobles" on the fact that Emma might be too pretty for Hermione. Her hair is too glossy with perfect curls, with perfect teeth, and she is much too easy going about homework (as I said before). The Hermione I have come to love has frizzy, curly, out of control hair, large front teeth, and is very uptight about education through almost all of the books. Oh! New member list. It's still short, so we need more people to join!

Keep posting!

I agree, sadie_urlady523 and Just the Droobles, that Emma Watson may be too....perfect....for Hermione. I was a little disappointed in the fourth movie with the Yule Ball. She didn't have a dress robe, she had a pretty dress, that, even for Hermione, was too pretty and dressy. And her hair and her earrings and makeup and everything just didn't seem like Hermione. That was the one thing I dídn't like about how Hermione was portrayed in the movies.

Now, I don't mean any offense to Emma Watson. She is an amazing actress and I love her, and I don't think anyone could play Hermione as well as she did, but it's just difficult to be the character from the book...everybody has their own interpretations!

May I join?? I saw this thread and am a Hermione fan. I figured I'd see if I'm able to join.

Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?

I think that in the first few movies she fit the book's description perfectly except her teeth. Her hair was frizzy and out of control and she was a book worm. But further into the movies her hair became unfrizzy and controlled. She also wasn't as strict. But I guess that depends on the director and/or producer of the movie.

Welcome to the Unofficial Hermione Fan Club, harry_potter_luvr_4life! Of course you may join. All you have to do is post! The only other requirement is that you have to put something about being a member in you signature. Try to make a link if you can. Again, welcome!

OK. Another question: Do you think that Hermione has always liked Ron, or did she just start to like him in books 4+?

Feedback please! Also, try to come up with more questions so we can keep this thread rolling!

Thank you sadie_urlady523!!

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

I personally think she always liked Ron. In the first movies and books she was always showing off around him. You know? But I think she always liked him. And when she overheard him any girl would have gotten upset but Hermione was extremely upset. She cried for hours on end. I would cry for a while and then just ignore him until I was over it. But I heard someone I liked talking about me and I cried for a while then ignored them. I didn't cry for hours on end. I repeat stuff a lot when I post for some reason.

Weeee, I definitely want to join here!!
So, as my first posting:
Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?
Well, I saw the movie before have read the book, so now it's kind of stuck to my mind that it couldn't be anybody else. But, the Hermione I have in mind when I read the books or when I think of them, is an Emma Watson with my hair, teeth bigger and a bossier face. And her personality is more truly like Hermione too. That's, I like her, but I still think she could do it much better.
And, I like much more our bookish Hermy.

Which book did you really notice Hermione had developed and became a true Gryffindor?
Agree with the previous posts: since PS, when she told that you have quoted to Harry, before leaving with Ron, but mostly when she decided to go with the guys after Snape. There she showed that, despite she will never let go books, she will always be willing to face everything for the friends that had given her a chance.

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

Oh, a very answered question for me! I've answered this question so many times before that maybe I could quote myself now, may I?

Ok, so Vtm is a bit slow; I'll answer it by hand
Not in PS; but I believe she felt something different towards him, though, someway she knew he'll never be like Harry for her; he will turn to foe or ... love! And the second one was chosen
But in PoA, I'd bet they were a bit ... hormonal, and through the arguments and the shouts and all, then Hermione hugged Ron, and Ron felt uncomfortable, right? Hermione wasn't fully in love with him, 'cause otherwise, she hadn't hug him. When you're in love, and being like Hermione, you won't be hugging the boy you like. She gave him a kiss in OotP and hugged him in HBP, and so many other things, but not at her 13s.
And in GoF, she was very hurt when he didn't took her to the Ball, but either if she was dazzled by Krum or if it was for revenge, I don't dare to guess.
OotP, love was beating, but nothing really exciting happened with their hearts as to show it.
But in HBP, was the crash.

You know, that gave me chance for a question: Do you think Hermione dated with Krum for revenge or because she really had a crush with him?
I'll answer later

So, I'll try and put a linky in my sig, and maybe I could make a tiny supporting avi? And so for Ron's thread, they deserve something like that. Why don't everybody make one too?

Oh, and congrats for the great shiny new thread, sadie_urlady523. But, you know, you can edit over and over again the first list of members and add the new ones

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

Well, I think that it was her first real relationship, so she was excited. She convinced herself that she like Krum, and she believed herself (for a while). I guess you could call it a crush, but not a real one. More like a convinced one.

Well, DeSs, welcome to the fan club! I don't really know how to make avies or anything like that, so PM me with instructions if you could. If you could make something for our signatures, that would be great! Avatars, too! Well, I can't wait to hear everyone else's opinion on your question!

Happy posting!

So many Hermione fans! It makes me very, very happy!


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

Yes, she always kind of liked him. In the first two books, she sort of exploded and insulted more at him than she ever did at Harry. At that age, that's kind of an indication that you like the person. She's always blushed around him, been awkward, and a lot of other little things that are there if you look.

I love the bit in the CoS movie, where she runs down the hall and hugs Harry (like a brother and sister would) and then gets all awkward when she's about to hug Ron. She just exchanges a handshake with him, and they both stutter a bit. They're obviously trying to hide the fact that they like each other.

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

I think she liked him, but not as much as she liked Ron. This was before anything but an awkward crush had been going on between her and Ron, and then this older, famous, probably very nice boy comes in and asks her to the dance! The obvious answer, for probably any teenage girl, was yes.

She also could have gone with him also, although I don't think she would, as a sort of test for Ron. She liked him, and she wanted to know if he liked her back, so she dated this other guy. Maybe she only pretended to be really mad at Ron. Maybe she was secretly pleased that Ron was so angry, because it hinted that he liked her back! I wouldn't really think of Hermione doing that, but she did ask out McLaggen, so who knows?

Welcome, DeSs!

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

I'd say it was a mixture of both... Hermione did like Krum, but not as much and she liked Ron, and she wanted to see if she could make Ron jealous. I'd never have expected that of her...but you know all the Cho advice she gave Harry...she's pretty smart boy-wise, too!!

Geez, this thread is not slowing down!

Do you think that Hermione has always liked Ron, or did she just start to like him in books 4+?
I don't think there was a definite crush until the end of book 2. Before that, I have a feeling she loathed him....quite a lot. But after he made up for somethings and kind of grew out of teh girls-have-cooties stage, she warmed up to him. Plus....girls are easily flattered when they learn that a guy likes them. For some reason, it makes it easier to like them back. (In some cases... )

Do you think Hermione dated with Krum for revenge or because she really had a crush with him?
I don't think she did it out of revenge. After feeling ugly for so long (whether it was in the books or not, that's how she felt. I know it.) it really shocked her that someone like Krum would be attracted to her. So, naturally, she took it and ran. I think she genuinely liked Krum, but there was something there that just made it wrong. I think she wanted it to work. But Ron kind of sabotaged it, which made her more angry. It was just a mess. So I'd agree with some and say that it was a good mix of both.

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

I think she dated him for revenge on Ron and also because she liked him. I think in GOF she went to the dance at first because she liked him but in the end to get revenge on Ron for what he said.

May I ask a question?

Lily

EDIT: I realized I forgot to answer this question.

Which book did you really notice Hermione had developed and became a true Gryffindor?

I think she truly became a Gryffindor in book 2 when they had to go into the Chamber of Secrets and make the Polyjuice(sp) Potion. It would have taken a lot of bravery to do all that. Especially for Hermione. If she would have been caught she might have been expelled!!!

Of course, harry_potter_luvr_4life, you can ask a question!!! I'm going to ask a question of my own!

What do you think Hermione was like before she came to Hogwarts? Was she just as good a student (grade-wise, not behavior-wise, I think she was always a good girl!) as she was in Hogwarts? What kind of friends did she have?

To answer my own question, I'd say that she was a good girl with good grades, never average grades, and she'd always strive to do her best. I do think, though, then it was Harry and Ron who taught her that sometimes it was okay to bend the rules a bit, it was okay to not be perfect all the time. Hermione wouldn't've done anything as drastic as the Polyjuice Potion before Harry, and Ron and Hogwarts! I think she would've only had a few friends, though, in her younger years. But they'd be very very good friend who never failed her and were always loyal At least, that's what I'd like to think.

What do you think Hermione was like before she came to Hogwarts? Was she just as good a student (grade-wise, not behavior-wise, I think she was always a good girl!) as she was in Hogwarts? What kind of friends did she have?

I think she was always a good student. Perfect grades and hung out with the really smart people. She might have hung out with some popular people but then in every popular group there is always a really smart one. So I think she was a goody-two-shoes until she met Ron and Harry.

Ok...

Do you think you'd get along with Hermione? If so why? If not why?

To answer my own question. I think we'd get along but not very well. We'd be fighting about who's right all the time. Basically because I'm kinda smart. I think that one of us would get one answer and the other a completely different one. So we'd constantly fight about who's right and who's wrong.

Here we go!

Do you think you'd get along with Hermione? If so why? If not why?

I think I'd get along very well with Hermione. I'm very smart and almost never get into trouble..though I'm a bit more lenient about rule-breaking. After all, the character I'm most like is Hermione...and even though sometimes opposites attract, my best friend is rather like me, too!


EDIT:

Whoo!!! I just realized I started Hermione's 3rd page!!!

Do you think you'd get along with Hermione? If so why? If not why?

Hmm. I don't know. I might like her if I got to know her really well, but her bossy mannerisms and know-it-all personality may cause some problems. I wouldn't want to say I wouldn't like her, because underneath it all, I really like her character. But I think it might be difficult for me to start a friendship with someone like her if I don't know who she really is.

Plus, maybe if I hung out with Hermione, I could hang out with cool kids like Ron and Harry.

Ok, I made a bunch of avis for this thread, but since I'm not sure about sticking them right here, you can have a look at Dumbledore's Office and check them out!

I love the pics! I'm using one, is that ok, DeSs?

Do you think you'd get along with Hermione? If so why? If not why?

Yes, I think we would. We're both nerds, and bossy nerds at that. We also both love nice facts, hard evidence, and aren't overly found of non-proven stuff. And I get called a know-it-all at least once a day, so I think we'd get along great.

Those are awesome, DeSs!! How do I use those? And for my siggy, does a photo count as part of the limited number of lines you're supposed to have? I"m really confused with all this avatar/signature stuff, as you may have noticed... So if anyone could PM me or whatever and help me!

Anybody else have some questions to keep us going?

I've got a question:

What do you think made the sorting hat put her in Gryffindor?

The only way I can think the sorting hat would is he can see the potential. When she's sorted, Hermione is at her brainiest and bossiest. She's obsessed with schoolwork and is terrified of breaking the rules and being sent home. Why would such an obvious Ravenclaw choice be but in the house of the brave and noble?

But after she becomes friends with Ron and Harry, Hermione really comes into her own. Yes, she's still annoying, smart, and bossy, but she cares more about people now, and she's ready to do what needs to be done no matter the cost.

What do you think made the sorting hat put her in Gryffindor?

I honestly think the hat put Hermione into Gryffindor because she has intelligence but also a lot of bravery. She is smart, but she isn't very strict with her work and other peoples work. I mean she does want to get answers right but if she were extremely strict she wouldn't start Ron's essays, correct them, or give Harry and Ron answers. So I think the Sorting Hat put Hermione into Gryffindor because of her intelligence but not strictness.

What do you think made the sorting hat put her in Gryffindor?

I think Hermione has a different type of bravery than say Harry or Ron. I think Hermione's bravery comes from her ability to stick to what she knows, and to really use her head and to keep cool. But it also comes from the fact that she's brave enough to make her own decisions and face things, and when she does need to make a decision, she knows when to use her head and when to use her heart.

bookworm_1918, if you so wish, you can use one of those pictures as a link. I think I'd have to fiddle around with it to see if I could do it correctly, but I'll get back to you...

If you just want the pic in there as a picture, no link on it, then you need to save it to your computer and upload it in an image hosting site, such as photobucket. Then you just copy the IMG address and put it in your siggy. If there's another way to do it without photobucket...I'm unaware of it.

Edit: Ok, if you want your picture to be a link, you would do something that looks like this:

[url*=put web address here, in this case, the Hermione Club one] Put your IMG tag here [/*url]

You should get something like this if it works out.

And you can click on my little crazy bunny and he'll take you somewhere fun. Or something.

Edit 2: Yay I just learned something new from chhermione in the Avatar Market. If you don't want a photobucket account, you can just right click on the picture you want, click properties at the bottom, and then copy the URL in there. But you have to put [img*] [/img*] around the URL for it to work.
I feel like this is making no sense. I'd be glad to help anyone through PM.

Sooooo.... Hermione then!

Do you think you'd get along with Hermione? If so why? If not why?
Well, it'd be like trying to get along with myself, so I think it'd be difficult some times. Sometimes I think if we took a bit of myself and a bit of a friend of mine, we'll have Hermione. I'll explain: one of my friends has that obssesion for study and got good grades that Hermione has and she'd stay till 3 in the morning studying if she had. (she had done it, already) And she got upset if we're working in groups and we're laughing all the time.But on the other hand, (and Im not trying to sound mean) my intelligence is more based in what I've leanrt and I think it's important, and I love reading, something this friends doesn't like ... as much as me. Then, my friend is too weeping as to be Hermione; I'm sensitive and utterly romantic, but not that way. Aaand, in cases of bravery, I'll be the one throwing herself for my friends, I think. Well, I've shown it, but in cases less extremes.

What do you think made the sorting hat put her in Gryffindor?
As I was about to write in the Gryffindor Common Room (but ten I hadn't time ) I think the hat saw she had bravery along with intelligence, besides you need more than books to be in Ravenclaw; and she wouldn't be right in Hufflepuff and less in Slytherin.

Hi everyone, I wanna join I absolutely Hermoine!

Do you find that you like Emma Watson starring as Hermione better than the Hermione you see in the books?

Yes I do, because the Hermione I saw in the books where always the girls in high school I avoided....preppy, know it alls!

Which book did you really notice Hermione had developed and became a true Gryffindor?

I saw in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" after the troll incident!

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

I believe she always liked him alittle, but after the troll incident and they became good friends, I believe her like for him became stronger. You definately see in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" when she yells at Ron for spoiling her date with Krum, but she did say "The next time there's a ball buck up the courage and ask out and not as a last resort."

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

I think it was more revenge than anything, but who knows!

What do you think Hermione was like before she came to Hogwarts? Was she just as good a student (grade - wise, not behavior wise, I think she was always a good girl!) as she was in Hogwarts? What kind of friends did she have?

Well here's my thing on her having friends before Hogwarts...I don't think she would have been such a know it all if she had friends before, because no friend wants a friend that constantly shooves in your face that they are smarter than you. I think that before Hogwarts she was more closed to the world and did want to let anyone in. But grade - wise yes she prolly had straight A's.

Do you think you'd get along with Hermione? If so, why? If not, why?

I know I would like her....she's to cool, honest, and nice not to like.

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

I believe the Sorting Hat could see how smart she is and it could also see that Gryffindor would help her grow in ways that the other houses couldn't or wouldn't be able to provide.

Hey, LeoTheLionness1986! Welcome to the club! (Literally... )

I see your point about her sorting, though. If she had gone to Ravenclaw she would have stayed super-smart, annoying, and bossy forever. (she's still kind of like that, but it would have been so much worse...) Gryffindor helped her be brave, and it helped her to become the person Harry and Ron need for help so often for so many different things.

This is quite right, forsaken_wolfess. Harry and Ron sort of calmed her down a bit!!

Thanks for the PM, DeSs, and for the other instructions, Just the Droobles. I'm going to have to just mess around with that and try to get it to work. Thanks again!

EDIT: I"m sorry, I forgot my manners! A warm welcome to the club's newest member, LeoTheLioness1986!

Wow! I didn't think this thread would go so fast, so I didn't bother checking it that often! Well, I guess I should answer some questions.


What do you think Hermione was like before she came to Hogwarts? Was she just as good a student (grade - wise, not behavior wise, I think she was always a good girl!) as she was in Hogwarts? What kind of friends did she have?

I think that Hermione was always a good student, but I think that she studied extra hard when she found out that she was going to Hogwarts. Maybe she had more friends because she was used to a Muggle life, and wasn't going all out on the studying. I think she was always the teacher's pet though. I can't picture her not being one!

Do you think you'd get along with Hermione? If so, why? If not, why?

I don't really think so. I like people who are laid back and relaxed who sometimes care about homework, but who aren't always constantly studying and whatever. That would drive me crazy! I also think that she is too smart. I am very intelligent, but I'd hate having competition!

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

I think that he considered all of the houses first. She is a very ambitious girl, she is kind-hearted, loyal, and everything else Hufflepuff is, she is very smart, and she is very brave. I think that the hat thought that Gryffindor shone through more than the others though.

Well, we need some more members. You guys are great, but let's spread the word!

Happy Posting!

Whoops! I forgot to ask DeSs a question. Would you like to be in charge of all of the avies and siggys for this club?

Ooh yes! I nominate DeSs to be in charge of that!! Unless anyone else wants too...anyone? Nevermind then!

What do you think made the Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor?
I actually just though of something that maybe the Sorting Hat did. Maybe she could've been in Ravenclaw, and at the age of eleven that's where she fit in the most, but the Sorting Hat could see that Hermione could be even better in Gryffindor, which is why she's a Gryffindor.

Yay! I finally got the signature pic (made by our very own DeSs-who has yet to answer me if she would like to be our official designer of siggys and avies and stuff) on to my signature thanks to Just the Droobles! Thank you! Okay. Well, we need another question. Why is Hermione's patronus an otter? I'm going to look up otters right now... gimme a sec...

Okay. What I got was that the otter is a social, playful, and highly intelligent animal. I think that says it all! Any other ideas?

Hermione's one of my favourite characters (hencce my screen name) so can I join??

I'll put a link in my siggy and join in on the discussions!

Oh, I just noticed Just the Droobles mentioned me

That's weird.

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

I think she's very brave. Although her being smart would make the Sorting Hat lean towards Ravenclaw, I think that we have all seen just truly how brave she can be over the course of the 7 books.

I'll come back and answer more later, I have to fly!

What do you think made the Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor?
I think that when you are sorted you are also put with the house that has the traits you value. Hermione thought being brave was very important, more than being smart and clever. She said it in SS/PS. She also was brave too, especially in the last few books. So even though she was very smart and by that people think she should be in Ravenclaw, I think she was in Gryffindor because she valued bravery.

Personally the sorting hat put her in Gryffindor becuase yes she is smart we all know that, but the sorting hat tries to sort you by which quality outshines the others. It just so happen that courage beat smarts(: That's how I see it. Which brings me to the next question for all


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


then another question that I was thinking about when I read something.

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?

Welcome, nicky potter and chhermione!

Well, I personally think that it was courage and friends that had her carry herself like that. I mean, the sorting hat would've put her in Ravenclaw if she was expected to carry herself like that because of intelligence. It saw that she was very brave at heart, so that's why it put her where it did. As for friends, in my opinion, if they are true and loyal, they effect the way you carry yourself (for most in a positive manner).

Hermione is a smart girl. She was on the right track, point blank. I mean, if she had let him walk all over her, she wouldn't have attacked him with canaries!

My other question still holds. Why is Hermione's patronus an otter?

Why is Hermione's patronus an otter?

Ironically I answered this one when it was asked in the Ron fanclub becuase they asked the same question about Ron's patronus.
The reason why I think it's an otter is because otters are very intelligent and very curious.


Sounds like Hermione if you ask me
