I'm correcting, or rather finishing myself here. It should be-

'Harry- you're a great wizard you know.'

'I'm not as good as you,' said Harry, very embarrassed as she let go 
of him.

'Me!' said Hermione, 'Books! And cleverness! There are more important 
things- friendship and bravery and- oh Harry- be *careful*!'

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
"Through the Trapdoor" p. 287

(I've lent out my copy of Philosopher's Stone so I can't give the 
pages for the British ed.)

This is one of my favourite Hermione quotes, and expresses why she is 
in Gryffindor very well. (I was just wondering if "Hogwarts: A 
History" and other such books could have influenced her at all.)
