There are many, many reasons to upendo Hermione Granger. She is a wonderfully written character and a great role model. However, lately I've been seeing a lot of people say things to the extent of "i upendo hermione because she's sooooo pretty!!!!! she's the most beautiful girl in hogwarts and i upendo her!!!!!" It seems harmless, and it probably is. But I have a problem with it.

People tend to obsess over her appearances, when Hermione herself would probably scoff at such things. Hermione was never one to care all that much about physical appearances; she was far zaidi concerned over zaidi important things, such as defeating Voldemort, getting good grades, freeing the house elves, and, of course, being in upendo with Ron. Of course, she cared a little bit about her appearances, but not to a superficial extent. She's not shallow.

Hermione is so much zaidi than just a pretty girl. The most important trait is not her physical appearances, but her intelligence. She is extremely logical, book smart, and clever. She can be a bit of a know-it-all at times, but she is extremely caring, brave, and good hearted. She is tough; she fights for her friends, and she fights for what is right, even when she stands alone. She is the one who will do the right thing, au the smart thing, even when everyone else becomes annoyed at her for it. She is the one who keeps her Marafiki up to tarehe on what is going on, who organizes and plans for important things, who motivates them to never give up and to always keep trying. So why do so many refer to her as "the pretty girl"? I think it's because (a) Emma Watson just so happens to be absolutely gorgeous, and (b) she is a girl. People don't refer to either Harry au Ron as "the hot guy". They may also be oversimplified (Harry being "the brave one" and Ron being "the funny one", although I already wrote an makala about Ron's reputation), at least they are referred to kwa personality traits. Hermione isn't. Yes, people think of her as smart, but she is zaidi often referred to as "the pretty one," au "the beautiful one." And yes, Emma Watson is gorgeous. But if wewe notice, people tend to be extremely concerned about how a girl physically appears, even though it's not really so important. Although people generally mean well, I think it's really downgrading to say "i upendo hermione because she's so pretty."

Another note: Hermione is NOT supposed to be super gorgeous. Yes, her appearances do get better as the vitabu go on. But she was never super model gorgeous. People say that because, as I alisema before, Emma Watson happens to be super model gorgeous. But Hermione, for the first three and a half books, had bushy hair and buck teeth. And, yes, she got better looking. But she was never super amazingly gorgeous. The only time she was supposed to be super amazingly gorgeous was during the Yule Ball. That's it. People say she's the most beautiful girl at Hogwarts. This may be true in the films, but not in the books. No, in the books, the most beautiful girls were Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley, except during Goblet of Fire, where it was Fleur Delacour (she's half Veela!). Why isn't Hermione super gorgeous? Because what makes Hermione so wonderful isn't her looks, it's her personality. Sadly, people seem to have forgotten about this.

So please, pay zaidi attention to Hermione's personality, and not the fact that Emma Watson is gorgeous. It's really insulting to Hermione. Hermione is too awesome for such shallowness XD

(Note: I did NOT draw this picture of Hermione. This I found on Deviantart, made kwa GreenifyME. I take no credit. I just think that this is how Hermione is supposed to look ^_^)

wo of my most prized possessions are a pair of small notebooks, which contain my very first scribblings about Harry Potter. Much of what is written in them was never used in the series, although it is startling to come across the odd line of dialogue that subsequently made it, verbatim, to publication.

In one of the vitabu is a orodha of forty names of students in Harry's mwaka (including Harry, Ron and Hermione), all allocated houses, with small symbols beside each name depicting each boy au girl's parentage.

While I imagined that there would be considerably zaidi than forty students in each year...

I was handing out Candy for Halloween. A little boy dressed up as Harry Potter came kwa and as he was walking up the driveway he dropped his wand. I told him he dropped his wand and he looks at me and shouted “ACCIO WAND!” and twitched his hand (which had a string attached to the wand and to his finger) and his wand came shooting up to his hand. He got the rest of my Halloween Candy and 5 dollars.

Today I got stuck in traffic on my way nyumbani from work. Usually I hate traffic.. However, the van in front of me was inaonyesha Harry Potter on their TV screen. I upendo traffic today.

Today, I was driving...

Part 2, Woot!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We arrived at Kings kuvuka, msalaba a few weeks later. I had bought a small black cat named Midnight, after having a hard time chosing between cat au owl. I also had a 9 1/2 inch Willow wand with dragon heartstring in it. I walked around, stroking my cat, looking for platform 9 3/4. All I saw was 9 and 10. Where was it? I walked around for a few minutes, wondering what to do. I even asked a few people, but they either told me I was crazy, au alisema that there was no such thing. Several dakika later I saw a person...
