Hermione Jane Granger

Hermione Jane Granger (born September 19, 1979) is a fictional character in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series. The character is portrayed by Emma Watson in the films. Hermione is a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is one of the best friends of Harry Potter and Ron and Ginny Weasley. She plays an important role in many aspects of Harry's life, serving as a maternal influence on both Harry and Ron.

Hermione has brown eyes and, when she first appears, "bushy brown hair and rather large front teeth". Many at the school have ridiculed her for her looks, including, on one occasion, Professor Snape. Hermione is very studious, and can be bossy and fussy; she is one of the most intelligent students in her year and one of the best in the entire school. She is often teased for this reason. Harry and Ron depend on her for academic help, and her knowledge and common sense generally prove valuable in overcoming the trio's challenges.
