* InformedAbility: Hermione is regularly considered the TeenGenius of her era and one of the smartest minds ever in the wizarding world. The problem is, we can compare Hermione to similar TeenGenius from previous eras: the Marauders and Snape, Riddle and Dumbledore. Riddle and Dumbledore are obviously on another level, but compared to the Marauders, Hermione never truly creates anything as impressive as the Marauder's Map, leave alone a feat of magic comparable to the Animagi transformations, or Snape's potions improvements and invented spells. Unlike Dumbledore whose papers were published in major journals while still at Hogwarts and who seemed to win more awards than there available, we don't see Hermione's extracurricular triumphs. Likewise, within canon, she got 10 OWLS, far less than other geniuses like Percy and Barty Crouch Jr. who got 12. Hermione is obviously smart but she's not quite a prodigy.

* CowardlyLion: Downplayed example. Whenever situations go sideways, Hermione tends to be the first one to panic. Its one of her major character growths that in later books she is able to do quick thinking under pressure to get everyone out alive considering in the first book she had to be reminded by Ron that she could perform magic when they were trapped by the devil's snare.

-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/EmmaWatson (films), Noma Dumezweni (''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild'', first West End run)
->''"Me? Books and cleverness! There are more important things. Friendship and bravery and--oh, Harry, be careful!''"
The last third of the series' resident PowerTrio, who serves as the superego and always has a smart solution. Like Ron, Harry meets her on the Hogwarts express on the first day of school, though they don't become friends until [[FireForgedFriends an incident involving a troll at Halloween.]] Throughout the books, Hermione serves as TheProfessor, being practically married to the library.
Nineteen years later, she's married to Ron and has two children, Rose and Hugo.
----
* TheAce: Hermione knows every spell in wizarding history. She's not nicknamed the "Brightest Witch of Her Age" for nothing.
* ActionGirl: Eventually grows into this over the books / the films.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
** In the books, Hermione is described as beautiful from the Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire (book 4) henceforth (SheIsAllGrownUp and SheCleansUpNicely).
*** A lot of characters (even her ''enemies'' like Draco and Pansy) are shocked when they finally notice how beautiful she is at the Ball.
** However, in the previous books she is described as rather plain, but ''isn't'' in the films. In the earlier books she had large buck teeth until she had them magically shrunk in Goblet of Fire, contributing to her becoming attractive; the films skip entirely the large teeth detail.
** In the earlier films, when she's not intended to be pretty, that may be because the books are from Harry's POV and he doesn't actually take much notice of her appearance beyond hair and eye color until he sees her gussied up at the Yule Ball and notices she is indeed beautiful, even jaw-droppingly gorgeous when she puts the effort into it.
* AdaptationalBadass: While Hermione is plenty brave in the canon, the movies portray her as more of an on-the-spot ActionGirl.
* AgentScully: At least, she's hesitant to believe things that are seen as superstitious or unlikely according to the laws of the ''magical'' world. There's a reason that Rowling described [[AgentMulder Luna]] as the "Anti-Hermione." It's a subversion of the way this trope usually plays out, though, in that ''Luna'' is usually the one who is wrong and who grows to be more skeptical.
** Her being an AgentScully even causes her to RageQuit her Divination Class.
** This is taken to something of an extreme in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]], where she bluntly refuses to believe in the Deathly Hallows, despite having confronted... well, let's see, a guy with an OmnicidalManiac stuck to the back of his head, a rock that grants immortality, a cursed diary that can communicate with people, a giant snake that petrifies her, Dementors, etc.
*** That is mostly because she refuses to believe in anything that violates MagicAIsMagicA and the fact is she's able to believe in the cloak and with prodding would probably have believed the Elder Wand, it was the stone she was having trouble with and it was hinted that was due to being afraid of thinking about dead people.
* AndIMustScream: Was one of the victims who gets petrified by Tom Riddle's Basilisk.
* AnimalMotifs: Otter (her Patronus).
* AuthorAvatar: She is, by Creator/JKRowling's own admission, an exaggeration of herself when she was younger. Rowling says she was a bit of an InsufferableGenius in her younger days but [[DefrostingIceQueen gradually mellowed out]], much as Hermione does over the course of the series (this may be why, of all the young performers in the ''Potter'' movies, Rowling is closest to Creator/EmmaWatson).
* BadassBookworm: Hermione is a notable example, being a know-it-all bookworm whose studies, combined with her significant innate talent grant her great magical power. She comes into her own in the last book, where nothing would have gotten done without her hyper-organization and constant vigilance. In the films, she even punches Malfoy in the face, though it's only a slap in the books.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Ron.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As Ron lampshades, Hermione can be rather "scary."
** When she found out that the Weasley Twins were giving their joke candies to first years, she threatened them with writing to their mother. The twins immediately complied, an act which had never been seen before or since.
** Her humor can be quite cutting when she wants it to be.
** She put a jinx on the Dumbledore's Army list to give anyone who ratted them out some cursed acne.
** [[WomanScorned Weaponized birds.]]
** She deliberately chose a date to the Christmas Party that would annoy Ron. And when Parvati commented that Hermione "liked her Quidditch players," Hermione corrected her, saying she only liked "really good Quidditch players."
** She set a teacher's robes on fire when she was twelve.
** And brewed an illegal potion in the bathroom, and came up with a plan that involved drugging two other students and stuffing them in a closet so they could interrogate another student.
** And modified her parents memories to make them forget that she existed
** And put Rita Skeeter in a jar, then blackmailed her into telling Harry's story
** There was also the time she slapped Malfoy in the face in the third book (punched in the film). He definitely deserved it, but it's still pretty surprising given that Hermione usually just brushed off rude comments and encourages Ron and Harry to do the same.
*** She was ''very'' stressed, what with all the time she has spent using the Time-Turner, putting in about two-three extra hours per day, and what is implied to be less sleep time than normal. No wonder she exploded when Malfoy went a word too far (especially considering that the word in question was the Muggle-Born equivalent of the N-word).
*** She's also just made up with Harry and Ron after a 3-4 month fight. She's been bottling up her feelings for a long time.
** And she led Umbridge in the Forbidden Forest hoping to get her in trouble with the Centaurs... And anyone who knows their mithology knows that Centaurs [[spoiler: '''''RAPE''''' human women]].
** Moral of the story: Do not cross Hermione. She will end you... [[FateWorseThanDeath Assuming she's being merciful enough to not let you live]].
* BrainyBrunette: Provides the page image. Though from the fifth film onwards, she is more blonde.
* BrokenAce: Her sometimes abrasive attitude masked deep insecurities and fear of failure, as personified by her Boggart. Hermione feels the need to prove herself, perhaps partly because of how many people in wizarding society looked down on Muggle-borns.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Ron, HighSchoolSweetHearts and married afterwards.
* ChildProdigy: A budding genius from her first year. At Hogwarts, Hermione was usually the first to master any spell, and was capable of using spells beyond her educational level. She eventually grew into a {{teen genius}}.
* ClassRepresentative: She was a prefect in books 5 and 6. She also ended up administrating Harry's D.A. class.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Depending on the situation, Hermione can be quite scary or funny when Ron is romantically interested in another girl. She's arguably as jealous as Ron when it comes to romantic partners, though she's not as obvious as he is.
* CrazyPrepared: Especially for the road trip in Book 7.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Matching brown hair and eyes.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Hermione was not known for her ability to cast Dark magic and the extent of her ability within this magical discipline is truly unknown (however, one would assume given her borderline genius status that she was no slouch). Still, she must have had some ability as she was ability to come up with a very sophisticated jinx that would deform the face of one would betrayed the D.A.. She was also able to successfully cast a Stinging Hex at a moment's notice. In her fourth year she was also able to cast the Leg-Locker Curse in her first year and the Jelly-Legs Jinx in her sixth.
* DefrostingIceQueen: In the first third or so of book one.
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** If you fuck with her in a dream, [[PayEvilUntoEvil you'd better wake up and apologise]]. Just ask Marietta Edgecombe.
** She cheerfully traps Rita Skeeter in a tiny, unbreakable jar and blackmails her into agreeing to never publish another story in book 4. Hermione lifts that sanction in book 5, but not before blackmailing Skeeter a second time.
* DudeMagnet: Hermione became the "thing missed most" in the Triwizard Tournament for Quidditch superstar, Viktor Krum. Two years later, Hermione got the (unwelcome) attention of [[JerkJock Cormac [=McLaggen=]]]. Then, there's [[BelligerentSexualTension Ron Weasley]].
* FantasticSlurs: Is on the receiving end of this, as she is called a "Mudblood" by Malfoy or other pure blood-supremacists.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Averted with Hermione, who isn’t skilled and complains that the boys make her do the cooking while the three of them are on the run because she’s a girl. Ron quickly retorts that it’s because she’s the best at magic.
* FireForgedFriends: Her time at Hogwarts would have turned out quite different if not for her troll adventure.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite the fact that she lives in a world of magic, she still attempts to act as a rational skeptic; particularly in her derisive attitude toward divination or Luna Lovegood's cryptozoology.
* ForGreatJustice: As Hermione gets older, she becomes an advocate for muggle-born wizards and elves. Though she means well, she’s sometimes misguided and is unintentionally rude to the creatures on whose behalf she’s speaking. In fact, the Hogwarts house elves end up refusing to clean Gryffindor Tower because Hermione would hide articles of clothing for them to find.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic.
* FutureBadass: [[spoiler:Is a wanted criminal leading TheResistance in an alternate timeline where Harry's dead and Voldemort won.]]
* GenreBlindness: Of the three main characters, Hermione suffers the most from this, despite having read numerous books of magic. You would think by now she would realize that anything can and possibly will happen in the world she lives in. She is the most skeptical of the trio when it comes to the more mysterious aspects of the Wizarding World that are mostly unsubstantiated. And when they are, she'll point out why it still doesn't make sense. She dismissed the Deathly Hallows mostly because the way they found out about them was less than reliable AND the idea behind the Resurrection Stone doesn't make sense in a world where AllDeathsAreFinal. There's also her attempts with SPEW, where she believes she's a great revolutionary who will free all of the elves, despite them being offended by and rejecting her efforts. [[spoiler: She does manage to help fix many of the problems of Wizard/Magical Creature relations, but only after she's grown out of her previous mindset.]]
* AGirlAndHerX: A Girl And Her Kneazles. Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, is her closest confidante.
* GoGetterGirl: Hermione always seeks to be tops in her classes and impress her teachers. And yet, she (mostly) stays well-grounded throughout it all.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She’s somewhat prone to insult humor.
* GoodWithNumbers: Arithmancy was Hermione's favorite subject and, considering she was one of the few people to take this subject, she must have skill in this field, too. She earned an 'Outstanding' O.W.L and took the subject to N.E.W.T.-level.
* HeroesWantRedheads: [[spoiler:Specifically, the redheaded Ron.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: In ''The Cursed Child'', [[spoiler:in the Voldemort Victorious timeline, she and Ron delay some Dementors so Scorpius and Snape can escape.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: She forms close friendships, lasting in their adult years, with [[FieryRedhead Ginny]] and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Luna]].
* HighSchoolSweetHearts: With Ron, as they are married by the epilogue, though WordOfGod says their differing temperments would have necessitated marriage counseling at some point.
* HotWitch: In the movies(due to Emma Watson going from 'cute' to 'beautiful'), and in the latter half of the 7 books (from the Yule Ball in book 4 onwards). No adverse mention is ever really made of Hermione's looks in the films, while in the books, it comes across as her focusing on schoolwork and not bothering to spend time on needless beautification.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: In the first book, Hermione acts like a total know-it-all to mask her insecurity for being a muggle-born. It decreases throughout the series as Hermione quickly gains confidence in herself and her abilities.
* InSeriesNickname: Regularly called "Mione" by her friends in fanfiction.
* InsistentTerminology: She gets rather snippy when people refer to her "Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare" by its [[FunWithAcronyms acronym]]. The name is even better in Dutch: "Stichting Huiself voor Inburgering en Tolerantie" (society house-elf for naturalizing and tolerance).
* InsufferableGenius: Sometimes ends up as this. Snape likes to criticize her for it. Most people, including Ron and Harry, tend to tolerate it.
--> ''' Severus Snape: Five more points from Gryffindor for being an insufferable know-it-all.
--> ''' It was a mark of how much the class loathed Snape that they were all glaring at him, because every one of them had called Hermione a know-it-all at least once, and Ron, who told Hermione she was a know-it-all at least twice a week, said loudly, "You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don't want to be told?"
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Played straight at the beginning of the first book, but subverted later, when it becomes clear that Hermione is not particularly shy.
* InvisibleParents: In contrast to Ron and Harry, whose unusually large and (ahem) [[UnusualEuphemism "unusually small"]] families are important plot points, Hermione's comparatively normal family is rarely mentioned and appear "in person" very rarely (in Book Three and Movies Two and Seven). For those who are wondering, they're {{Muggle}} dentists. How invisible are they? ''We have yet to be told their first names.'' Even nowadays they're still referred to as "Mr. and Mrs. Granger".
* JackOfAllStats: Being the SmartGuy of the Trio, Hermione is talented and knowledgeable in nearly all subjects, except Defense Against Dark Arts, which [[TheHero Harry]] is best at.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Of the InsufferableGenius variety.
* KindheartedCatLover: Since Book 3, Hermione became the owner of Half-Kneazle/Half-Cat, Crookshanks. She fell in love with him the first moment she saw him.
* LettingHerHairDown: An InvertedTrope, at the Yule Ball in book four.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Harry, though nothing in the books actually shows this. There is textual evidence to show Harry thinks this way towards Hermione, but nothing the other way around. It is much more logical that Hermione views her relationship to Harry as best friends, not as brother/sister, just like the movies version does.
* LittleMissSnarker: On occasion.
* TheMaidenNameDebate: After [[spoiler:she marries Ron, Hermione still keeps her maiden name.]]
* MessyHair: She tells Harry that taming it is too much bother.
* MoeCouplet: Hermione is a magical genius, except when it comes to dealing with actual dark wizards, which is Harry's specialty his life being basically a long series of fighting dark wizards. Hermione, however overcomes this problem gradually, eventually becoming a damn good fighter towards the end of the series. When it comes to personality, Harry is selfless to an annoying degree even when personal friends are not involved, while Hermione focuses on immediate gain and loss to her close friends (especially when it comes to grades!). While these traits alone would get kind of annoying, together they play off each other quite well.
* MotorMouth: Mainly in the first books.
* MsExposition: Due to being such a brain, Hermione often figures out and explains crucial plot points to her BookDumb friends. Lampshaded when Hermione asks Harry and Ron if they're ''ever'' going to read ''Hogwarts: A History'' -- Ron replies, "Why should we when we've got you to explain it all?" Rowling has said in interviews that her default characters for exposition-giving are always Dumbledore and Hermione -- Dumbledore because he's the wise old wizard, Hermione because any fact can be explained by her having found it in a book somewhere. Averted in Book 7 when it is Harry, not Hermione, who remembers the name of the ''author'' of ''A History of Magic'', despite (or possibly because of) the fact that Harry never read it, yet was told repeatedly about it.[[note]](He merely looked it over when he bought it, since that's where he got Hedwig's name.)[[/note]] This might say something about Hermione's retention of "important" information, such as the contents being more important to her than the author. Also subverted in book seven, when Ron knows more about the Deathly Hallows than Hermione. It's justified because they're a fairy tale he grew up with, as the only member of the Trio to be raised by wizards.
* MyBelovedSmother: {{Implied}}. [[spoiler:In the movie version, she frets over Rose having everything she needs]].
* NerdsAreSexy: Grows into this trope in the later films and books.
* NerdsLoveToughSchoolwork: {{Deconstructed}} in the third book when it causes her to lose a lot of sleep and become incredibly irritable.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Though she'll smile or laugh often, Hermione's usual response to most of Harry and Ron's more lowbrow jokes is mild disapprovement. In ''Goblet of Fire'', however, The Trio hear an elderly wizard named Archie complain about possibly wearing pants, saying that he likes "a healthy breeze round my privates". This gives Hermione such a serious case of giggling that she has to leave the area temporarily.
* OneMarioLimit: She was named after a character in Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/TheWintersTale'', but it's doubtful that the name "Hermione" will ever again be used as anything other than a reference to Hermione Granger.
** JKR stated at one point that she didn’t want other girls to be made fun of for sharing her name, so she chose something rare.
* OneOfTheBoys: She spends more time hanging out with Harry and Ron than with, say, Parvati and Lavender.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Hermione advocates breaking the rules, you know it's serious.
** Lampshaded in the ''Chamber of Secrets'' book.
--->'''Ron:''' I never expected ''you'' to persuade us to break school rules!
** Lampshaded in the ''Order of the Phoenix'' movie, too.
--->'''Hermione:''' This is sort of exciting, isn't it? Breaking the rules!
--->'''Ron:''' Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?
* OppositesAttract: The serious, go-getter witch fell in love with the funny, laid-back wizard (Ron).
* PluckyGirl: A brave member of the Golden Trio and MagicalGirlWarrior extraordinaire.
* TheProfessor
* QuirkyCurls: Especially in the movies.
* RaceLift: Is played by the black Noma Dumezweni in ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild''.
* RedOniBlueOni: She is far and away the Blue to Harry and Ron's Red.
* ResetButtonSuicideMission: In ''The Cursed Child'', [[spoiler:the her and Ron from Voldemort's BadFuture sacrifice themselves to Dementors knowing that Scorpius will undo their deaths.]]
* RunningGag:
** Hermione becoming exasperated with people for not having read ''Hogwarts: A History''. Lampshaded by Ron, who says that they don't need to read it because she'll just tell them anyway.
** Her advocacy of freedom for house-elves.
* SadisticTeacher: In the alternate timeline in ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild'', where she and Ron never got together, she's Hogwarts' Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher and happily docks house points.
* SecondLove: To Ron. Before they became a couple, he went out with Lavender during their sixth year.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Almost always in the movies.
* SheCleansUpNicely:
** In the book Harry doesn't recognize her at first, noting blandly that Krum was accompanied by “a pretty girl in blue robes that Harry didn’t know.” The movie plays it straight (as nobody could fail to recognise Emma Watson) and Hermione descends the stairs while Harry and Ron look on agog.
** Noted again at [[spoiler:Bill and Fleur's wedding]], where she's noted for being very beautiful.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: The books imply that she's rather plain as a child, with bushy hair and buck teeth, but as she grows older and has her teeth fixed by magic, she becomes very beautiful and attractive. More and more boys seem to be interested in her…
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Harry says this about her. See also LikeBrotherAndSister, above.
* ShipperOnDeck: Hermione ships Harry/Ginny.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Hermione is the smartest of the trio and it's heavily implied that she remains the shortest of them, at least in the books.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan:
** Hermione has a long-running BelligerentSexualTension-style attraction to fundamentally good guy Ron Weasley. The thing that finally pushes her to [[GeekyTurnOn kiss him senseless?]] It's when Ron realizes in a panic that the House Elves are unprotected during the Battle of Hogwarts. The welfare of House Elves has long been a moral cause close to Hermione's heart, and one that had opened her up to general ridicule in previous books (especially from Ron). Although it's worth pointing out there's a difference between forcing unwanted freedom on them and trying to make sure they don't get killed.
** Hermione's brief love interest Viktor Krum, although he's introduced as an intimidating world-class athlete from a rival school, turns out to be a pretty nice guy.
* SixthRanger: Fills this role in the first book, since she joins Harry and Ron halfway. At first, her know-it-all behavior put her at odds with Harry and Ron, but the battle with the mountain troll caused her to join Harry and Ron, finally forming the well known PowerTrio.
* SkewedPriorities: Provides the page quote where apparently getting expelled is worse than getting killed. Pops up two years later when she is unable to face her Boggart[[note]]A creature that takes the form of a person's greatest fear[[/note]] which is Professor [=McGonagall=] telling her she failed all her classes. The films really make this one of her defining traits. In the third film, when Harry illegally does magic outside school she says he was lucky not to be expelled - Harry replies he was lucky not to be ''arrested''. And in the seventh, when they have just narrowly escaped the Death Eaters ''twice'' she laments that they didn't celebrate Harry's birthday.
* SkilledButNaive: In contrast to [[TaughtByExperience Harry]], she has an encyclopaedic arsenal of magic but tends to perform awkwardly in fast-paced practical combat. However, she gradually grows out of this, becoming a very good fighter in the later books, in which she is able to defeat various dark wizards in combat.
* SlapSlapKiss: With Ron.
* SlipknotPonytail: Her hair, after the Yule Ball, is described as having come undone from its updo as she's arguing with Ron at the end of the night.
* TheSmartGirl: The cleverest witch in her year at Hogwarts, and quite possibly the cleverest witch, ''period''. She displays magic in her fifth year that seventh-year students consider extremely advanced -- and she learned it as an offhand "oh, I was just studying ahead" thing. We're never told just how she stacks up with the rest of the wizarding world, but she's probably right up there.
* SmugSnake: When the InsufferableGenius aspect goes too far she can drift into this, especially in the first book.
* SoapboxSadie: On the subject of house elves, Hermione is very passionate and over-the-top in her campaign to get them fair wages and better treatment. Often despite the [[HappinessInSlavery lack of support]] from the house elves themselves.
* TheSouthPaw: Implied at the very end of Chapter 21 of ''Deathly Hallows''; if you recall that Harry's wand arm is his right and he is right-handed. Going off the exchange, and the fact that Harry and Hermione did ''not'' fall with either of their backs to the Death Eaters and Hermione still cast two spells while holding Harry's hand, it can be surmised that Hermione is, in fact, a lefty:
-->"''Please Ron!'' Harry, hold on tight to my hand, Ron, grab my shoulder."
-->Harry held out his ''left'' hand.
** In the movies, however, she is visibly right-handed. Or she's ambidextrous.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: [[spoiler:"Sirius was horrible to Kreacher... I've said all along that wizards would pay for how they treat house elves. Well, Voldemort did... and so did Sirius."]]
* TheSpock: The most logical and rational.
* StaticCharacter: Among the Trio, Hermione has changed the least over her years. [[TropesAreNotBad Not that it hinders her as a character]], mind you. However, she is static only ''in comparison'' with Ron and Harry. She undergoes some significant positive changes. She has only changed ''less'' than Harry and Ron.
* StopHelpingMe: InUniverse the house-elves think this of Hermione, as they are offended by her failure to understand that they find HappinessInSlavery.
* SuddenNameChange: A meta example: WordOfGod statements had long established that her middle name was "Jane," which the fifth book also established as [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Umbridge]]'s middle name. The final book makes Hermione's middle name "Jean" instead. Rowling stated that she had changed her mind because she didn't want the heroine Hermione to share a middle name with the bad and sadistic Dolores Umbridge.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: At least in book one, but becomes more {{Tsundere}} as the story goes on.
* TeamMom: Sometimes tries to mother the boys, which is generally met with irritation from Harry and ambivalence from Ron, who is used to it. Ron sometimes mothers her right back.
* TenderTears: As the token girl, she’s somewhat prone to crying.
* TeenGenius: Harry even refers to her as "The brightest of our year." She gets [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale 112%]] on an exam in her first year, and she even passes 3rd year Muggle Studies with '''''320%'''''.
** Although, as Ron points out, she has a bit of a leg-up with that last one given her background
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Hermione starts out as lawful (and consequently, friendless), but her adventures with Harry and Ron chip away at this. Her troll encounter pulls her sharply in the direction of good. [[spoiler: This culminates with a tenure as head of magical law enforcement, likely so others don't have to choose.]]
* TookALevelInKindness:
** In ''Philosopher's Stone'', Hermione becomes friends with Harry and Ron after they save her from the troll.
** In regards with Luna, Hermione eventually accepted their differences in magical creatures. The following year, they become the best of friends.
* TownGirls: The Femme to Ginny's Butch and Luna's Neither.
* TragicKeepsake: Dumbledore bequeathed the original publication of ''The Tales of Beedle the Bard'', written in runes, to Hermione. It contained a clue about the Deathly Hallows which led Hermione, Harry, and Ron to Xenophilius Lovegood, who told them about the legendary items. Later in life, Hermione translated the book into English and published her translation.
* {{Tsundere}}: Lampshaded in ''Deathly Hallows Part One''.
-->'''Harry:''' You're not still mad at him (Ron), are you?
-->'''Hermione:''' I'm always mad at him.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Harry. Above everyone else in the series, it is Hermione and Ron who stand beside Harry at every twist and turn in his path to stop Voldemort.
* TheUnfairSex: Averted in Book 6. After Ron found out that Hermione might have kissed a guy who asked her out two years prior while she was single AND getting told that his overbearing watchdog tendencies about his sister were due to his own inexperience with girls, he gets into an extremely shallow relationship with basically the first girl to give him the time of day, largely out of spite. He is portrayed as insensitive and, given how publicly he flaunts the relationship, pretty hypocritical, and quickly gets his own comeuppance by means of his “girlfriend” being utterly insufferable. Hermione attempts to retaliate by accepting to go out with the Jerk Jock… only for the plan to implode immediately, since she genuinely can't stand the guy. Harry, and by extension the narrator, are quick to point out that they're both idiots, though he's slightly more overtly critical of Hermione, possibly owing to the fact that Ron was being an impulsive idiot who didn't think things through, whereas Hermione was being consciously and deliberately petty.
--> Narrator: "Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge."
* {{Unperson}}: She wipes [[spoiler:her parents' memories of her]] in DH to keep them safe (in the movie, even going so far as wipe herself from any pictures with her on them). WordOfGod stated that after the Trio's victory over Voldemort, she found her parents and restored their memories.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Ron.
* UptightLovesWild: The rule-abiding, perfectionist [[TheSpock Hermione]] fell for the lazy, gluttonous [[TheSlacker Ron.]]
* UptownGirl: {{Zig zagged}}. WordOfGod says she's from a well-to-do Oxford family, and her marriage to Ron. To the haughty purebloods like the Malfoys, Blacks, and Yaxley it would be the other way around. While Ron might be from a dirt poor and ridiculed family he is still a pureblood and Hermione is a muggleborn, the lowest of the low to them, except for muggles.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Done twice. [[spoiler:First when hiding her Time-Turner in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', and again in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]'' when she wears the locket Horcrux.]]
* WhiteMansBurden: Briefly, during her house-elf liberation subplot in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet of Fire]]''. Played with, as everyone at Hogwarts, even the reader, points out that [[StrawmanHasAPoint while she does have a few good points about the treatment of house-elves]], [[{{Hypocrite}} she's basically staging a one-woman campaign for house-elf freedom without so much as consulting the subjects she's trying to free, and having only met two house-elves in her life: Dobby, who is a total weirdo, and Winky, who was in considerable stress at the time.]]
* WiseBeyondHerYears: Despite her flaws, Hermione is quite intelligent for her age, and not just in the school aspect. For example, she reasoned that the reason why Sirius was so adamant in having in the OOTP was because Siruis wanted to live through Harry. She wasn't wrong.
* WomanScorned: She ''weaponized birds'' after Ron kissed Lavender. She also chose a date specifically on the basis on "who would annoy Ron most," and went out of her way to hint that she had chosen him because [=McLaggen=] was superior to Ron as Quidditch player.
* WomenAreWiser: Hermione, the only female member of the Trio, is the smartest and doubles as TheSpock.
* ZombieAdvocate: Hermione becomes a ''"House-Elf Advocate"'' during her fourth year and onward. She even forms an organization called, "Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare" or S.P.E.W. for short.

-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/EmmaWatson (films), Noma Dumezweni (''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild'', first West End run)
->''"Me? Books and cleverness! There are more important things. Friendship and bravery and--oh, Harry, be careful!''"
The last third of the series' resident PowerTrio, who serves as the superego and always has a smart solution. Like Ron, Harry meets her on the Hogwarts express on the first day of school, though they don't become friends until [[FireForgedFriends an incident involving a troll at Halloween.]] Throughout the books, Hermione serves as TheProfessor, being practically married to the library.
Nineteen years later, she's married to Ron and has two children, Rose and Hugo.
----
* TheAce: Hermione knows every spell in wizarding history. She's not nicknamed the "Brightest Witch of Her Age" for nothing.
* ActionGirl: Eventually grows into this over the books / the films.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
** In the books, Hermione is described as beautiful from the Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire (book 4) henceforth (SheIsAllGrownUp and SheCleansUpNicely).
*** A lot of characters (even her ''enemies'' like Draco and Pansy) are shocked when they finally notice how beautiful she is at the Ball.
** However, in the previous books she is described as rather plain, but ''isn't'' in the films. In the earlier books she had large buck teeth until she had them magically shrunk in Goblet of Fire, contributing to her becoming attractive; the films skip entirely the large teeth detail.
** In the earlier films, when she's not intended to be pretty, that may be because the books are from Harry's POV and he doesn't actually take much notice of her appearance beyond hair and eye color until he sees her gussied up at the Yule Ball and notices she is indeed beautiful, even jaw-droppingly gorgeous when she puts the effort into it.
* AdaptationalBadass: While Hermione is plenty brave in the canon, the movies portray her as more of an on-the-spot ActionGirl.
* AgentScully: At least, she's hesitant to believe things that are seen as superstitious or unlikely according to the laws of the ''magical'' world. There's a reason that Rowling described [[AgentMulder Luna]] as the "Anti-Hermione." It's a subversion of the way this trope usually plays out, though, in that ''Luna'' is usually the one who is wrong and who grows to be more skeptical.
** Her being an AgentScully even causes her to RageQuit her Divination Class.
** This is taken to something of an extreme in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]], where she bluntly refuses to believe in the Deathly Hallows, despite having confronted... well, let's see, a guy with an OmnicidalManiac stuck to the back of his head, a rock that grants immortality, a cursed diary that can communicate with people, a giant snake that petrifies her, Dementors, etc.
*** That is mostly because she refuses to believe in anything that violates MagicAIsMagicA and the fact is she's able to believe in the cloak and with prodding would probably have believed the Elder Wand, it was the stone she was having trouble with and it was hinted that was due to being afraid of thinking about dead people.
* AndIMustScream: Was one of the victims who gets petrified by Tom Riddle's Basilisk.
* AnimalMotifs: Otter (her Patronus).
* AuthorAvatar: She is, by Creator/JKRowling's own admission, an exaggeration of herself when she was younger. Rowling says she was a bit of an InsufferableGenius in her younger days but [[DefrostingIceQueen gradually mellowed out]], much as Hermione does over the course of the series (this may be why, of all the young performers in the ''Potter'' movies, Rowling is closest to Creator/EmmaWatson).
* BadassBookworm: Hermione is a notable example, being a know-it-all bookworm whose studies, combined with her significant innate talent grant her great magical power. She comes into her own in the last book, where nothing would have gotten done without her hyper-organization and constant vigilance. In the films, she even punches Malfoy in the face, though it's only a slap in the books.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Ron.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As Ron lampshades, Hermione can be rather "scary."
** When she found out that the Weasley Twins were giving their joke candies to first years, she threatened them with writing to their mother. The twins immediately complied, an act which had never been seen before or since.
** Her humor can be quite cutting when she wants it to be.
** She put a jinx on the Dumbledore's Army list to give anyone who ratted them out some cursed acne.
** [[WomanScorned Weaponized birds.]]
** She deliberately chose a date to the Christmas Party that would annoy Ron. And when Parvati commented that Hermione "liked her Quidditch players," Hermione corrected her, saying she only liked "really good Quidditch players."
** She set a teacher's robes on fire when she was twelve.
** And brewed an illegal potion in the bathroom, and came up with a plan that involved drugging two other students and stuffing them in a closet so they could interrogate another student.
** And modified her parents memories to make them forget that she existed
** And put Rita Skeeter in a jar, then blackmailed her into telling Harry's story
** There was also the time she slapped Malfoy in the face in the third book (punched in the film). He definitely deserved it, but it's still pretty surprising given that Hermione usually just brushed off rude comments and encourages Ron and Harry to do the same.
*** She was ''very'' stressed, what with all the time she has spent using the Time-Turner, putting in about two-three extra hours per day, and what is implied to be less sleep time than normal. No wonder she exploded when Malfoy went a word too far (especially considering that the word in question was the Muggle-Born equivalent of the N-word).
*** She's also just made up with Harry and Ron after a 3-4 month fight. She's been bottling up her feelings for a long time.
** And she led Umbridge in the Forbidden Forest hoping to get her in trouble with the Centaurs... And anyone who knows their mithology knows that Centaurs [[spoiler: '''''RAPE''''' human women]].
** Moral of the story: Do not cross Hermione. She will end you... [[FateWorseThanDeath Assuming she's being merciful enough to not let you live]].
* BrainyBrunette: Provides the page image. Though from the fifth film onwards, she is more blonde.
* BrokenAce: Her sometimes abrasive attitude masked deep insecurities and fear of failure, as personified by her Boggart. Hermione feels the need to prove herself, perhaps partly because of how many people in wizarding society looked down on Muggle-borns.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Ron, HighSchoolSweetHearts and married afterwards.
* ChildProdigy: A budding genius from her first year. At Hogwarts, Hermione was usually the first to master any spell, and was capable of using spells beyond her educational level. She eventually grew into a {{teen genius}}.
* ClassRepresentative: She was a prefect in books 5 and 6. She also ended up administrating Harry's D.A. class.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Depending on the situation, Hermione can be quite scary or funny when Ron is romantically interested in another girl. She's arguably as jealous as Ron when it comes to romantic partners, though she's not as obvious as he is.
* CrazyPrepared: Especially for the road trip in Book 7.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Matching brown hair and eyes.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Hermione was not known for her ability to cast Dark magic and the extent of her ability within this magical discipline is truly unknown (however, one would assume given her borderline genius status that she was no slouch). Still, she must have had some ability as she was ability to come up with a very sophisticated jinx that would deform the face of one would betrayed the D.A.. She was also able to successfully cast a Stinging Hex at a moment's notice. In her fourth year she was also able to cast the Leg-Locker Curse in her first year and the Jelly-Legs Jinx in her sixth.
* DefrostingIceQueen: In the first third or so of book one.
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** If you fuck with her in a dream, [[PayEvilUntoEvil you'd better wake up and apologise]]. Just ask Marietta Edgecombe.
** She cheerfully traps Rita Skeeter in a tiny, unbreakable jar and blackmails her into agreeing to never publish another story in book 4. Hermione lifts that sanction in book 5, but not before blackmailing Skeeter a second time.
* DudeMagnet: Hermione became the "thing missed most" in the Triwizard Tournament for Quidditch superstar, Viktor Krum. Two years later, Hermione got the (unwelcome) attention of [[JerkJock Cormac [=McLaggen=]]]. Then, there's [[BelligerentSexualTension Ron Weasley]].
* FantasticSlurs: Is on the receiving end of this, as she is called a "Mudblood" by Malfoy or other pure blood-supremacists.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Averted with Hermione, who isn’t skilled and complains that the boys make her do the cooking while the three of them are on the run because she’s a girl. Ron quickly retorts that it’s because she’s the best at magic.
* FireForgedFriends: Her time at Hogwarts would have turned out quite different if not for her troll adventure.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite the fact that she lives in a world of magic, she still attempts to act as a rational skeptic; particularly in her derisive attitude toward divination or Luna Lovegood's cryptozoology.
* ForGreatJustice: As Hermione gets older, she becomes an advocate for muggle-born wizards and elves. Though she means well, she’s sometimes misguided and is unintentionally rude to the creatures on whose behalf she’s speaking. In fact, the Hogwarts house elves end up refusing to clean Gryffindor Tower because Hermione would hide articles of clothing for them to find.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic.
* FutureBadass: [[spoiler:Is a wanted criminal leading TheResistance in an alternate timeline where Harry's dead and Voldemort won.]]
* GenreBlindness: Of the three main characters, Hermione suffers the most from this, despite having read numerous books of magic. You would think by now she would realize that anything can and possibly will happen in the world she lives in. She is the most skeptical of the trio when it comes to the more mysterious aspects of the Wizarding World that are mostly unsubstantiated. And when they are, she'll point out why it still doesn't make sense. She dismissed the Deathly Hallows mostly because the way they found out about them was less than reliable AND the idea behind the Resurrection Stone doesn't make sense in a world where AllDeathsAreFinal. There's also her attempts with SPEW, where she believes she's a great revolutionary who will free all of the elves, despite them being offended by and rejecting her efforts. [[spoiler: She does manage to help fix many of the problems of Wizard/Magical Creature relations, but only after she's grown out of her previous mindset.]]
* AGirlAndHerX: A Girl And Her Kneazles. Hermione's cat, Crookshanks, is her closest confidante.
* GoGetterGirl: Hermione always seeks to be tops in her classes and impress her teachers. And yet, she (mostly) stays well-grounded throughout it all.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She’s somewhat prone to insult humor.
* GoodWithNumbers: Arithmancy was Hermione's favorite subject and, considering she was one of the few people to take this subject, she must have skill in this field, too. She earned an 'Outstanding' O.W.L and took the subject to N.E.W.T.-level.
* HeroesWantRedheads: [[spoiler:Specifically, the redheaded Ron.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: In ''The Cursed Child'', [[spoiler:in the Voldemort Victorious timeline, she and Ron delay some Dementors so Scorpius and Snape can escape.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: She forms close friendships, lasting in their adult years, with [[FieryRedhead Ginny]] and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Luna]].
* HighSchoolSweetHearts: With Ron, as they are married by the epilogue, though WordOfGod says their differing temperments would have necessitated marriage counseling at some point.
* HotWitch: In the movies(due to Emma Watson going from 'cute' to 'beautiful'), and in the latter half of the 7 books (from the Yule Ball in book 4 onwards). No adverse mention is ever really made of Hermione's looks in the films, while in the books, it comes across as her focusing on schoolwork and not bothering to spend time on needless beautification.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: In the first book, Hermione acts like a total know-it-all to mask her insecurity for being a muggle-born. It decreases throughout the series as Hermione quickly gains confidence in herself and her abilities.
* InSeriesNickname: Regularly called "Mione" by her friends in fanfiction.
* InsistentTerminology: She gets rather snippy when people refer to her "Society for the Promotion of Elvish Welfare" by its [[FunWithAcronyms acronym]]. The name is even better in Dutch: "Stichting Huiself voor Inburgering en Tolerantie" (society house-elf for naturalizing and tolerance).
* InsufferableGenius: Sometimes ends up as this. Snape likes to criticize her for it. Most people, including Ron and Harry, tend to tolerate it.
--> ''' Severus Snape: Five more points from Gryffindor for being an insufferable know-it-all.
--> ''' It was a mark of how much the class loathed Snape that they were all glaring at him, because every one of them had called Hermione a know-it-all at least once, and Ron, who told Hermione she was a know-it-all at least twice a week, said loudly, "You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don't want to be told?"
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Played straight at the beginning of the first book, but subverted later, when it becomes clear that Hermione is not particularly shy.
* InvisibleParents: In contrast to Ron and Harry, whose unusually large and (ahem) [[UnusualEuphemism "unusually small"]] families are important plot points, Hermione's comparatively normal family is rarely mentioned and appear "in person" very rarely (in Book Three and Movies Two and Seven). For those who are wondering, they're {{Muggle}} dentists. How invisible are they? ''We have yet to be told their first names.'' Even nowadays they're still referred to as "Mr. and Mrs. Granger".
* JackOfAllStats: Being the SmartGuy of the Trio, Hermione is talented and knowledgeable in nearly all subjects, except Defense Against Dark Arts, which [[TheHero Harry]] is best at.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Of the InsufferableGenius variety.
* KindheartedCatLover: Since Book 3, Hermione became the owner of Half-Kneazle/Half-Cat, Crookshanks. She fell in love with him the first moment she saw him.
* LettingHerHairDown: An InvertedTrope, at the Yule Ball in book four.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Harry, though nothing in the books actually shows this. There is textual evidence to show Harry thinks this way towards Hermione, but nothing the other way around. It is much more logical that Hermione views her relationship to Harry as best friends, not as brother/sister, just like the movies version does.
* LittleMissSnarker: On occasion.
* TheMaidenNameDebate: After [[spoiler:she marries Ron, Hermione still keeps her maiden name.]]
* MessyHair: She tells Harry that taming it is too much bother.
* MoeCouplet: Hermione is a magical genius, except when it comes to dealing with actual dark wizards, which is Harry's specialty his life being basically a long series of fighting dark wizards. Hermione, however overcomes this problem gradually, eventually becoming a damn good fighter towards the end of the series. When it comes to personality, Harry is selfless to an annoying degree even when personal friends are not involved, while Hermione focuses on immediate gain and loss to her close friends (especially when it comes to grades!). While these traits alone would get kind of annoying, together they play off each other quite well.
* MotorMouth: Mainly in the first books.
* MsExposition: Due to being such a brain, Hermione often figures out and explains crucial plot points to her BookDumb friends. Lampshaded when Hermione asks Harry and Ron if they're ''ever'' going to read ''Hogwarts: A History'' -- Ron replies, "Why should we when we've got you to explain it all?" Rowling has said in interviews that her default characters for exposition-giving are always Dumbledore and Hermione -- Dumbledore because he's the wise old wizard, Hermione because any fact can be explained by her having found it in a book somewhere. Averted in Book 7 when it is Harry, not Hermione, who remembers the name of the ''author'' of ''A History of Magic'', despite (or possibly because of) the fact that Harry never read it, yet was told repeatedly about it.[[note]](He merely looked it over when he bought it, since that's where he got Hedwig's name.)[[/note]] This might say something about Hermione's retention of "important" information, such as the contents being more important to her than the author. Also subverted in book seven, when Ron knows more about the Deathly Hallows than Hermione. It's justified because they're a fairy tale he grew up with, as the only member of the Trio to be raised by wizards.
* MyBelovedSmother: {{Implied}}. [[spoiler:In the movie version, she frets over Rose having everything she needs]].
* NerdsAreSexy: Grows into this trope in the later films and books.
* NerdsLoveToughSchoolwork: {{Deconstructed}} in the third book when it causes her to lose a lot of sleep and become incredibly irritable.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Though she'll smile or laugh often, Hermione's usual response to most of Harry and Ron's more lowbrow jokes is mild disapprovement. In ''Goblet of Fire'', however, The Trio hear an elderly wizard named Archie complain about possibly wearing pants, saying that he likes "a healthy breeze round my privates". This gives Hermione such a serious case of giggling that she has to leave the area temporarily.
* OneMarioLimit: She was named after a character in Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/TheWintersTale'', but it's doubtful that the name "Hermione" will ever again be used as anything other than a reference to Hermione Granger.
** JKR stated at one point that she didn’t want other girls to be made fun of for sharing her name, so she chose something rare.
* OneOfTheBoys: She spends more time hanging out with Harry and Ron than with, say, Parvati and Lavender.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Hermione advocates breaking the rules, you know it's serious.
** Lampshaded in the ''Chamber of Secrets'' book.
--->'''Ron:''' I never expected ''you'' to persuade us to break school rules!
** Lampshaded in the ''Order of the Phoenix'' movie, too.
--->'''Hermione:''' This is sort of exciting, isn't it? Breaking the rules!
--->'''Ron:''' Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?
* OppositesAttract: The serious, go-getter witch fell in love with the funny, laid-back wizard (Ron).
* PluckyGirl: A brave member of the Golden Trio and MagicalGirlWarrior extraordinaire.
* TheProfessor
* QuirkyCurls: Especially in the movies.
* RaceLift: Is played by the black Noma Dumezweni in ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild''.
* RedOniBlueOni: She is far and away the Blue to Harry and Ron's Red.
* ResetButtonSuicideMission: In ''The Cursed Child'', [[spoiler:the her and Ron from Voldemort's BadFuture sacrifice themselves to Dementors knowing that Scorpius will undo their deaths.]]
* RunningGag:
** Hermione becoming exasperated with people for not having read ''Hogwarts: A History''. Lampshaded by Ron, who says that they don't need to read it because she'll just tell them anyway.
** Her advocacy of freedom for house-elves.
* SadisticTeacher: In the alternate timeline in ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild'', where she and Ron never got together, she's Hogwarts' Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher and happily docks house points.
* SecondLove: To Ron. Before they became a couple, he went out with Lavender during their sixth year.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Almost always in the movies.
* SheCleansUpNicely:
** In the book Harry doesn't recognize her at first, noting blandly that Krum was accompanied by “a pretty girl in blue robes that Harry didn’t know.” The movie plays it straight (as nobody could fail to recognise Emma Watson) and Hermione descends the stairs while Harry and Ron look on agog.
** Noted again at [[spoiler:Bill and Fleur's wedding]], where she's noted for being very beautiful.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: The books imply that she's rather plain as a child, with bushy hair and buck teeth, but as she grows older and has her teeth fixed by magic, she becomes very beautiful and attractive. More and more boys seem to be interested in her…
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Harry says this about her. See also LikeBrotherAndSister, above.
* ShipperOnDeck: Hermione ships Harry/Ginny.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Hermione is the smartest of the trio and it's heavily implied that she remains the shortest of them, at least in the books.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan:
** Hermione has a long-running BelligerentSexualTension-style attraction to fundamentally good guy Ron Weasley. The thing that finally pushes her to [[GeekyTurnOn kiss him senseless?]] It's when Ron realizes in a panic that the House Elves are unprotected during the Battle of Hogwarts. The welfare of House Elves has long been a moral cause close to Hermione's heart, and one that had opened her up to general ridicule in previous books (especially from Ron). Although it's worth pointing out there's a difference between forcing unwanted freedom on them and trying to make sure they don't get killed.
** Hermione's brief love interest Viktor Krum, although he's introduced as an intimidating world-class athlete from a rival school, turns out to be a pretty nice guy.
* SixthRanger: Fills this role in the first book, since she joins Harry and Ron halfway. At first, her know-it-all behavior put her at odds with Harry and Ron, but the battle with the mountain troll caused her to join Harry and Ron, finally forming the well known PowerTrio.
* SkewedPriorities: Provides the page quote where apparently getting expelled is worse than getting killed. Pops up two years later when she is unable to face her Boggart[[note]]A creature that takes the form of a person's greatest fear[[/note]] which is Professor [=McGonagall=] telling her she failed all her classes. The films really make this one of her defining traits. In the third film, when Harry illegally does magic outside school she says he was lucky not to be expelled - Harry replies he was lucky not to be ''arrested''. And in the seventh, when they have just narrowly escaped the Death Eaters ''twice'' she laments that they didn't celebrate Harry's birthday.
* SkilledButNaive: In contrast to [[TaughtByExperience Harry]], she has an encyclopaedic arsenal of magic but tends to perform awkwardly in fast-paced practical combat. However, she gradually grows out of this, becoming a very good fighter in the later books, in which she is able to defeat various dark wizards in combat.
* SlapSlapKiss: With Ron.
* SlipknotPonytail: Her hair, after the Yule Ball, is described as having come undone from its updo as she's arguing with Ron at the end of the night.
* TheSmartGirl: The cleverest witch in her year at Hogwarts, and quite possibly the cleverest witch, ''period''. She displays magic in her fifth year that seventh-year students consider extremely advanced -- and she learned it as an offhand "oh, I was just studying ahead" thing. We're never told just how she stacks up with the rest of the wizarding world, but she's probably right up there.
* SmugSnake: When the InsufferableGenius aspect goes too far she can drift into this, especially in the first book.
* SoapboxSadie: On the subject of house elves, Hermione is very passionate and over-the-top in her campaign to get them fair wages and better treatment. Often despite the [[HappinessInSlavery lack of support]] from the house elves themselves.
* TheSouthPaw: Implied at the very end of Chapter 21 of ''Deathly Hallows''; if you recall that Harry's wand arm is his right and he is right-handed. Going off the exchange, and the fact that Harry and Hermione did ''not'' fall with either of their backs to the Death Eaters and Hermione still cast two spells while holding Harry's hand, it can be surmised that Hermione is, in fact, a lefty:
-->"''Please Ron!'' Harry, hold on tight to my hand, Ron, grab my shoulder."
-->Harry held out his ''left'' hand.
** In the movies, however, she is visibly right-handed. Or she's ambidextrous.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: [[spoiler:"Sirius was horrible to Kreacher... I've said all along that wizards would pay for how they treat house elves. Well, Voldemort did... and so did Sirius."]]
* TheSpock: The most logical and rational.
* StaticCharacter: Among the Trio, Hermione has changed the least over her years. [[TropesAreNotBad Not that it hinders her as a character]], mind you. However, she is static only ''in comparison'' with Ron and Harry. She undergoes some significant positive changes. She has only changed ''less'' than Harry and Ron.
* StopHelpingMe: InUniverse the house-elves think this of Hermione, as they are offended by her failure to understand that they find HappinessInSlavery.
* SuddenNameChange: A meta example: WordOfGod statements had long established that her middle name was "Jane," which the fifth book also established as [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Umbridge]]'s middle name. The final book makes Hermione's middle name "Jean" instead. Rowling stated that she had changed her mind because she didn't want the heroine Hermione to share a middle name with the bad and sadistic Dolores Umbridge.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: At least in book one, but becomes more {{Tsundere}} as the story goes on.
* TeamMom: Sometimes tries to mother the boys, which is generally met with irritation from Harry and ambivalence from Ron, who is used to it. Ron sometimes mothers her right back.
* TenderTears: As the token girl, she’s somewhat prone to crying.
* TeenGenius: Harry even refers to her as "The brightest of our year." She gets [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale 112%]] on an exam in her first year, and she even passes 3rd year Muggle Studies with '''''320%'''''.
** Although, as Ron points out, she has a bit of a leg-up with that last one given her background
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Hermione starts out as lawful (and consequently, friendless), but her adventures with Harry and Ron chip away at this. Her troll encounter pulls her sharply in the direction of good. [[spoiler: This culminates with a tenure as head of magical law enforcement, likely so others don't have to choose.]]
* TookALevelInKindness:
** In ''Philosopher's Stone'', Hermione becomes friends with Harry and Ron after they save her from the troll.
** In regards with Luna, Hermione eventually accepted their differences in magical creatures. The following year, they become the best of friends.
* TownGirls: The Femme to Ginny's Butch and Luna's Neither.
* TragicKeepsake: Dumbledore bequeathed the original publication of ''The Tales of Beedle the Bard'', written in runes, to Hermione. It contained a clue about the Deathly Hallows which led Hermione, Harry, and Ron to Xenophilius Lovegood, who told them about the legendary items. Later in life, Hermione translated the book into English and published her translation.
* {{Tsundere}}: Lampshaded in ''Deathly Hallows Part One''.
-->'''Harry:''' You're not still mad at him (Ron), are you?
-->'''Hermione:''' I'm always mad at him.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Harry. Above everyone else in the series, it is Hermione and Ron who stand beside Harry at every twist and turn in his path to stop Voldemort.
* TheUnfairSex: Averted in Book 6. After Ron found out that Hermione might have kissed a guy who asked her out two years prior while she was single AND getting told that his overbearing watchdog tendencies about his sister were due to his own inexperience with girls, he gets into an extremely shallow relationship with basically the first girl to give him the time of day, largely out of spite. He is portrayed as insensitive and, given how publicly he flaunts the relationship, pretty hypocritical, and quickly gets his own comeuppance by means of his “girlfriend” being utterly insufferable. Hermione attempts to retaliate by accepting to go out with the Jerk Jock… only for the plan to implode immediately, since she genuinely can't stand the guy. Harry, and by extension the narrator, are quick to point out that they're both idiots, though he's slightly more overtly critical of Hermione, possibly owing to the fact that Ron was being an impulsive idiot who didn't think things through, whereas Hermione was being consciously and deliberately petty.
--> Narrator: "Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge."
* {{Unperson}}: She wipes [[spoiler:her parents' memories of her]] in DH to keep them safe (in the movie, even going so far as wipe herself from any pictures with her on them). WordOfGod stated that after the Trio's victory over Voldemort, she found her parents and restored their memories.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Ron.
* UptightLovesWild: The rule-abiding, perfectionist [[TheSpock Hermione]] fell for the lazy, gluttonous [[TheSlacker Ron.]]
* UptownGirl: {{Zig zagged}}. WordOfGod says she's from a well-to-do Oxford family, and her marriage to Ron. To the haughty purebloods like the Malfoys, Blacks, and Yaxley it would be the other way around. While Ron might be from a dirt poor and ridiculed family he is still a pureblood and Hermione is a muggleborn, the lowest of the low to them, except for muggles.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Done twice. [[spoiler:First when hiding her Time-Turner in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', and again in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]'' when she wears the locket Horcrux.]]
* WhiteMansBurden: Briefly, during her house-elf liberation subplot in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet of Fire]]''. Played with, as everyone at Hogwarts, even the reader, points out that [[StrawmanHasAPoint while she does have a few good points about the treatment of house-elves]], [[{{Hypocrite}} she's basically staging a one-woman campaign for house-elf freedom without so much as consulting the subjects she's trying to free, and having only met two house-elves in her life: Dobby, who is a total weirdo, and Winky, who was in considerable stress at the time.]]
* WiseBeyondHerYears: Despite her flaws, Hermione is quite intelligent for her age, and not just in the school aspect. For example, she reasoned that the reason why Sirius was so adamant in having in the OOTP was because Siruis wanted to live through Harry. She wasn't wrong.
* WomanScorned: She ''weaponized birds'' after Ron kissed Lavender. She also chose a date specifically on the basis on "who would annoy Ron most," and went out of her way to hint that she had chosen him because [=McLaggen=] was superior to Ron as Quidditch player.
* WomenAreWiser: Hermione, the only female member of the Trio, is the smartest and doubles as TheSpock.
* ZombieAdvocate: Hermione becomes a ''"House-Elf Advocate"'' during her fourth year and onward. She even forms an organization called, "Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare" or S.P.E.W. for short.
