| Hermione's Full Biography |
Hermione, who's full name is Hermione Jane Granger, is easily the brightest witch in her year at Hogwarts. She is a Gryffindor who entered Hogwarts in 1991. Her parents are Muggles, and both dentists. She reads voraciously and tends to believe that anything worth knowing about can be learned about in books. When she discovered, for example, that Divination was more of an imprecise art than an exact science, and that all her reading and researching couldn't make a Seer out of her, she quit the class. In her first year at Hogwarts, Hermione found herself disliked by most of the other kids. She was a bossy know-it-all who told everyone else off for not doing everything according to the rules. She mellowed somewhat over that first year and even more in the years that followed, but she has not lost her disapproval of rule-breaking.
Hermione has a brilliant mind. She has memorized many, many spells and can logic her way through difficult situations that stump everyone else. She alone knows how to cast the Alohomora charm and portable, waterproof fires are a specialty of hers. She even spent one school year taking double classes using a Time Turner to be in two places at once, but she found this too exhausting to keep up. She excels at most subject and often helps Neville Longbottom through difficult Potions classes. Most teachers consider her a star pupil, although Snape calls her a show-off.
Hermione has bushy brown hair and brown eyes (CS13). Her birthday is September 19 (AOL) and for a birthday present in 1993 she bought herself a large ginger cat named Crookshanks. Her best friends are Ron Weasley and Harry Potter; she also gets along very well with Ginny Weasley. In her fourth year at Hogwarts, she found herself the object of the affection of Viktor Krum, a famous Quidditch player from Bulgaria, who was a visiting student at Hogwarts from Durmstrang Institute. She returned his affection to some extent, although she seems to be developing an interesting relationship with Ron which might grow into something more. Only time will tell.
Hermione has a developing social conscience and will work tirelessly for those she sees as oppressed or an underdog. She is quick to take Neville under her wing and help him along, especially in Potions class. She bought Crookshanks from a magical creatures store because no one had wanted him. She spent hours preparing a defense for Buckbeak, a falsely-accused hippogriff, and later began to take an interest in the plight of house-elves.
J.K. Rowling chose the name Hermione from a Shakespeare play, "A Winter's Tale", although she says that the characters are not at all similar. She thought it made sense for a couple of professional dentists to name their only daughter something like that to show how clever they were. But she chose a very unusual name because she worried that, if there were a real child somewhere who was bright and had larger-than-usual front teeth that had the same name, she might get teased (NPC).
Muggle dentists who have a very precocious daughter named Hermione. 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. What they tell their family and friends about their daughter and her school is anyone's guess, but they are certainly proud of her.
Hermione has a younger sister, whose name has not been given (WBD). Rowling has commented that it is perhaps too late to even include this other character at such a late date in the stories, so we'll see ...

| Interview With Emma Watson |
"I'm going skiing and I haven't gone skiing so I'm really looking forward to that, and I'm hoping that goes well!"
- Marie: What is your favorite part of the new movie?
Emma: This is actually my favorite book. There's a great scene where I punch Malfoy, which is really good fun. It's good.
- Marie: How does Malfoy react?
Emma: How does he react? He runs away! Woo hoo! Girl power!
- Marie: This summer there's going to be some really great movies coming out. Do you have any film that you most want to see this summer?
Emma: I absolutely love Shrek. I don't know what it is; he makes me laugh so much. I'm really looking forward to Shrek 2, and obviously Troy with Brad Pitt, in a skirt.
- Marie: One of our magazines in London is asking about your GCSE's. Are you studying for them yet?
Emma: Um, sort of. This is my foundation year and then next year I start my coursework.
- Marie: So what do you do when you start your coursework? Are there specific classes for their exams?
Emma: Yes. Coursework is basically done more in projects or in blocks and you study one thing in more detail, in lots of detail, basically.
- Marie: Are you nervous about them?
Emma: Yeah, a little bit. I looked at a GCSE book the other day and I was like, "Oh my god, I'm never going to pass!" It's just like it goes on forever and ever and ever, and the amount of work is a bit like "AAH!"
- Marie: What subjects are they in
Emma: I'm not actually really sure. I think you have to do math; you have to do physics, chemistry, biology. I think you have to take English, and I think you have to take French. And then I've got stuff like Latin, Spanish, geography, history.
- Marie: What's the biggest change in your life since the first Harry Potter movie, and what's your best personal experience?
Emma: Well I suppose quite a bit's happened, really. Um, what sort of best personal experience?
- Marie: Someone you may have met?
Emma: Come on, now. Okay, this is really easy. I met Brad Pitt, which is quite cool.
- Marie: What's been the most embarrassing moment you've had since you first started with Harry Potter?
Emma: Oh, there've been a few. You know how you have those really fancy screen chairs that have your name on them? Well I've got this little one that says "Emma Watson" on it . In the middle of the set sitting there, you know, sipping my drink casually, I think my chair was on a wire or something, and I went straight over backwards on this chair and spilled my drink all over me. That was pretty bad.
- Marie: Have you sat down and talked to J.K. Rowling or spent any time with her?
Emma: We don't really see her that much, actually. I've seen her at a couple of premieres, stuff like that, but not really.
- Marie: What do you like best about her writing?
Emma: Oh, I don't know, it's imaginative and completely takes you into another world. It just lets your imagination run wild, and I think it's great for something that is described so specifically that you know isn't there but it's written so brilliantly that you almost believe that it really is there. I was always a massive fan of the books even before I got into the films.
- Marie: Who's your favorite character from all of the books?
Emma: Oh, I love Hagrid. I have a bit of a soft spot for Hagrid; he really makes me laugh. I love him. Oh, and I really like Dobby. He just makes me want to hug him or help him or something. I get really maternal feelings whenever he's around. I always feel really sorry for him.
- Marie: How would you feel if another actor played your character?
Emma: Oh, I don't know! It would be quite hard because I have been doing it for three years now. I suppose I don't know. It would be interesting.
- Marie: I want to talk to you a little bit about the owls in Harry Potter. Do you have any favorite species of owls, and if so, what makes that particular species special?
Emma: Well I love Hedwig! You cannot beat Hedwig. Hedwig is the owl. I like the tawny owl, the white ones, the all-white ones. I don't know. There's something special about them. Beautiful, soft feathers, and they have those faces that are really friendly and beautiful.
- Marie: Why do you think that they're so perfect in the magical world of Harry Potter?
Emma: I don't know. I think they're such amazing creatures that, like everything else in the magical world, completely astound you.
- Marie: What personal adventure would you most like to accomplish in the next year?
Emma: Oh, I don't know. One fun thing that I'd like to do - oh, I can't think of anything!
- Marie: I guess you're in the biggest adventure anybody could ever be in right now anyway!
Emma: I'm going skiing and I haven't gone skiing so I'm really looking forward to that, and I'm hoping that goes well! Oh, yeah, and the brilliant thing is that this year, because of the big enough gap between the third and the fourth [filming of the Harry Potter movies], it would mean that if I did break my leg I'd be all right again before we started filming again.
- Hermione and you - are you soulmates?
Not totally. I don't like to go to school that much like she does. And I have surely the better penchant in clothes. For it I spend all my money (laugh)! Besides Hermione is quite well-behaved and seems therefore sometimes a little like a striver. I'm definite not like that. However one Similarity we do have: Hermione likes cats, and I have two for my own: They are called Bubbles and Domino.
- Because of your role you got an idol for many girls. How do you handle this?
Oh, I can handle this easily. Actually I don't take it too serious. I'm just happy about so much fan mail - even form China an Japan! It's obvious, that the kids like Hermione: She is the total Power-Girl. She is smart, know, what she wants and is very loyal.
- For sure you get fan mail form boys. Have there been a marriage proposal?
No, not yet. Maybe because I love to play Hockey: This isn't very ladylike.
- How do you get by the boys at the set? Are you playing pranks to each other?
Oh, yeah. Once Daniel Radcliffe brought a remote-controlled whoopie cushion. This really was funny...
- Do you spend your spare time with each other?
No, but we hang together the most part of the year vocational anyway. We see each other nearly every day.
- Is your life changed because of Harry Potter?
No, hardly. Of cause I get more attention form people, who to recognize me as Hermione. That's it. And naturally I'm more rare at home at my family as before.
- Do you belive in magic or higher powers?
This depends at the magic. There are many kinds. I don't belive in the rabbit which is pulled out of a cylinder. Here I remember something: Once I disguise at Hallowe'en as a whitch - now I'm acting one! I wouldn't have thought of something like this in my wildest dreams.
- Have you been before your role a Harry Potter fan?
Yes, from the beginning. I hope the fifth book get finally released, so I know how the story continues.
- In one scene you're shaking hands with Ron very hesitate. In seems as if the is something up to come between you two...
No idea, you have to ask the sreenplay author. Private anyhow isn't something between Rupert and me - Witchoath!
