Tesha:
I love Hermione. Something bad happens - like Draco hitting her with a
spell that grew her teeth - she takes the lemons and makes lemonaide.
She has Madam Pomfrey adjust her teeth to better than before. She's
teased by Draco, she walks away - but when she's really had enough,
she pops him in the nose. She has a question, she finds the answers.
Her friends need her - she's there. She doesn't have the benefit of
having magical parents, so she's "different". She can stand on her
own, so she's "different". She's not afraid of being Hermione, and I
really love her character - I'd love to she what she becomes as an
adult character - would she be another McGonagall?
