Hermione: Often uses her quick wit

Hermione often uses her quick wit, deft recall, and encyclopaedic knowledge to help her friends in perilous situations. Rowling has stated that Hermione resembles herself as a young girl, sharing similar insecurity and fear of failure. [2] Hermione has been immensely popular. Hermione Granger is one of the brightest and most talented students Hogwarts has ever seen and is a very close friend of Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Here are some things you might not know about Miss Granger, plus a few details you may have missed on your first read… Her name has roots in Greek mythology… ‘ Hermione ’ is the female derivative of ‘Hermes’, a messenger god known for his sharp wit and ability to transition between worlds. Quite fittingly, Hermione transitioned between the Muggle and wizarding worlds, delivered information (seriously, has nobody else read Hogwarts: A History?) and was pretty sharp-witted herself. Hermione Granger was Harry's and Ron's bookish best friend, a Muggle-born student and one of the smartest witches of her generation. Though incredibly clever, she proved herself a true Gryffindor time and time again, using her courage as well as problem-solving skills in the face of danger, proving vital in the struggle against Lord Voldemort.
