Actually, there are three: Hermione, Lavender and Parvati.  The FAQ 
will also tell you about the "missing two" that apparently had fears 
the boggart captured, but are never mentioned.

However, I'd like to see that chat where she revised her number.  Is 
it up at Aberforth's Goat's place? (which I can't find a link to in 
the Admin files -- help, someone!) If so, my calculations on the 
wizarding population are off.
