Hermioneeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Hermione Granger. A great character is this story, quintessential when it comes to the development of it I might add. She’s always shown great loyalty and love towards her friends and great respect towards her peers. Only times she’s shown anger or frustration have been at those who are intolerant of Muggles, those who abuse house elves, and a slight bit of frustration at Ron for not displaying his emotions. Overall Hermione’s character is full of courage. Yet, this courage has developed over the series. At the beginning she was timid and slightly afraid one may say because of her status as what others like Draco Malfoy call her “a mudblood”. But she comes to terms with the obstacles that are in her path, she learns to be proud of her identity and to fight for it. Especially in this last installment in the series in which there is a great oppression almost hinting at genocide of those who are different. It is here more than ever that she has to show the courage to fight against those who are threatening all those who “don’t belong”. Throughout the series I think that she’s the poster child for a feminine activist, fighting against those whose rights are being oppressed such as the house elves and at the same time recognizing that she herself is different and learning to embrace her identity.
