That's interesting! What causes you to out and out not like her?
What sort of imagining is she down on? What do you think of the
other witches in the books?
I feel somewhere between indifferent and positive about Hermione. I
think it's nice that she's smart, and I really like that Ron likes
her. Ron is my favorite character, actually, and I like that he goes
for the smart girl. But I don't adore Hermione, and am not asking
for clarification out of a 'how dare you?!' emotional response. I'm
just curious. I don't see a lot about Hermione to be adamantly
opposed to.
Ginny, on the other hand, I really like. She's grown up in a house
full of boys, is tough as nails, and is a talented enough witch to
catch the eye of Horace Slughorn, even though she is not (at first
glance) connected to anyone powerful. She's also not shy with the
boys (except for Harry, and only back in books 1 and 2), which is one
of my pet peeves about girls (including myself!!).
And I also love Molly. What a wonderful mother lion. :) And
McGonnegal! She rocks :)
Lavender and Parvati, I would say, are the girls that I made nice
with in school, but would never have hung out with on the weekends.
They both seem somewhat superficial to me... not a lot there to hold
my attention. Lavender more so than Parvati, I guess, although I
think Parvati has a bit of a backstabbing streak in her...
And, though they've not gotten a lot of page/screen time, I reckon
the Quidditch girls (Angelina, Katie) are alright... Any girl that
goes to the Yule Ball with one of the Weasley twins is alright with
me ;)
Anyway, your stated dislike of Hermione just got me thinking. I'm
curious to know what your thoughts are on the other witches we know!
