Hermione / Buckbeak

[rosie]

No: HPFGUIDX 42401

OK, so this is so far-fetched you would not believe it...

but I have noticed some strange parallels between Hermione and Buckbeak (bear in mind how little we know about Beaky).

Look at the name to start off with. Buckbeak. One of Hermione's distinguishing features (prior to GOF anyway)? Her over-large teeth. Her buck teeth, in fact. And what do Hippogriffs have instead of teeth? You got it, a beak. 

Hermione's pretty proud as well. She'll never admit she's wrong, in Ron's words (PoA). Notable feature of a Hippogriff? Their pride.

And if you need any further proof, I give you this. Who surprises Ron and Harry by slapping Malfoy in GoF for being rude? Hermione. Remind you of anyone?

Hmmmmm.
