Hermione doesn¹t fix Harry¹s glasses on the train in PS/SS chapter 6
(UK PB
page 79/80) This appears to be movie contamination.
In CoS chapter 4 Flourish and Blotts (UK PB page 46 *Mr Weasley* mends
Harry¹s glasses. Again movie contamination Hermione mends them in the
film.
Christy's thoughts...
However, Hermione does perform magic outside of Hogwarts (although
before she's gone ever, so it may be excused)
"Are you sure that's a real spell? said the girl. "Well it's not very
good is it? I've tried a few simple spells just for practice and it's
all worked for me." (page 105 SS, American edition)
There is no mention of Hermione being in trouble. But it seems pretty
clear that she's done magic. However, as I said it's before they've
officially started, so perhaps the rules don't apply.
After all, we know Harry has done plenty of magic before he enters
Hogwarts.
However, I tend to think that this rule applies to magic that Muggles
can see, and is therefore less strictly applied when it's a wizarding
house where chances are there aren't any Muggles that shouldn't be there.
Cheers,
Christy
