My favourite character
My favourite character is Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born witch from the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling.
She's Harry Potter's friend and if she hadn’t been there for Harry from the beginning, he probably would’ve died in his first year at Hogwarts.
I like Hermione because she shows us that it is great to be smart and a bookworm. She is intelligent, brave, loyal and strong, just like a Gryffindor should be. In a way she is stronger than Harry: she is better with her wand and knows all the spells.
I like that she isn't shown as a "perfect" girl - that would have been boring and unbelievable. Hernione sometimes breaks rules, she can be a telltale and a show-off . She can be awkward at some times but that's what makes me love her even more.
To me Hermione is the best character in the Harry Potter universe.
