Today, September 19th, 2015, is Hermione Granger’s 36th birthday. In honor of her birthday, here are 10 reasons she kicked butt throughout the series:
1.) Hermione ALWAYS looked out for her friends.
2.) She single handedly solved the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets.
3.) She saved both Buckbeak and Sirius while Harry basically just tagged along for the ride.
4.) She always knew the answer. Some may say she’s a know-it-all but I say she’s brilliant and they’re all jealous. You either study up or shut up.
5.) She survived numerous brushes with death.
6.) She landed the guy everyone wanted while staying true to herself.
7.) Then she landed the right guy.
ROMIONE FOREVER!!! (Regardless of Rowling’s opinions…)
8.) Harry Potter (who’s not afraid of Voldemort) is scared of her.
Who can blame him? Have you seen her spell work?
9.) She always knows what to do.
And last but not least…
10.) She punched Draco Malfoy in the face.
*Entire fandom applauds*
Happy Birthday Hermione Jean Granger!
