Hermione Granger (Yule Ball)

HARRY POTTER - POP N° 11 - Yule Ball Hermione

Hermione Jean Granger is one of the main characters in the Harry Potter saga written by J. K. Rowling. Hermione is Harry Potter and Ron Weasley's best friend and, during her schooling at Hogwarts, resides in Gryffindor House.

In the films, her role is played by Emma Watson.

Hermione is a "Muggle-born". The young girl first appears on the Hogwarts Express where she meets Ron Weasley and Harry Potter to ask them if they had seen Neville Longbottom's toad. Listening to her, Harry quickly realizes that she is very knowledgeable and has clearly read all the books on witchcraft available to her. At Hogwarts, she is always the first to answer in class and regularly tries to prevent Harry and Ron from breaking the rules, which earns her their dislike — especially Ron's. Later, after being saved from a troll by the two boys, she helps them with their homework and lessons and becomes less austere. Little by little, a true friendship develops between Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

During a Quidditch match, Hermione discreetly sets Professor Snape's cape on fire, whom she wrongly suspects of jinxing Harry's broom to make him fall. With Ron, she helps Harry overcome obstacles to find the Philosopher's Stone. During the awarding of the House Cup, Professor Dumbledore rewards her with 50 points for solving Snape's potions riddle, which had been designed to prevent anyone — especially Voldemort — from obtaining the stone.
