Hermione
 
Although I've never seen Harry Potter, my favourite characters are Hermione Granger and Professor Trelawny. Anywhoo, although we all love Harry Potter and he saves the world, has anyone ever realised that without Hermione, they would all be dead, like five times over by now?

She knew the spell to stop the Devils Snare - PS
She figured out the basilisk and how it travelled - COS
She figured out Lupin was a werewolf - POA (ok so that didnt save their lives but still)

It just annoys me a little, that Hermione does all the brainwork and Harry takes credit in the end. I love Harry, but I wish Hermione would get some praise for her work, I mean, she is the only one who ever listens.

To be quite honest (don't hit me for this! ), I often find myself really disliking Harry, I think Hermione is a much more likeable character, and alot less, for want of a better word, annoying than Harry, i'm not saying he's annoying all of the time, far from it but she is definately above Harry in my favourite characters.

There also have been other people outside of the trio that have done incredibly heroic things. Dumbledore, Mad-Eye, Lupin, Sirius, Tonks, and Snape (he, really, really was brave) are just a few people who haved saved lives and directly affected them

I've never seen it..or read the books, but my 11 year goddaughter keeps sending me emails trying to discuss the demonry. I thought at least one loon on this place could give me a ready made answer. Skeptical.

I just saw that Harry Potter film. A bit unrealistic if you ask me. I mean, a ginger kid, with two friends :confused:
