It’s difficult to overstate the good that the character Hermione Granger did for the young girls who read about her. She made being a total nerd cool for so many kids. There have been nerd characters in books and movies forever, but what makes her exceptional is that she wasn’t a born genius. Hermione had to constantly study and work hard to become the genius she was. She wasn’t born into a wizard family, so she had to work overtime, even before she got to Hogwarts, to have a rudimentary understanding of what she was getting herself into. It’s easy to say that Hermione knows everything she knows because she read it in a book (Screenplay writer Steve Kloves sure thinks so), but we rarely think about how much work that would take for a teenage girl. If you wanted to be just like Hermione when you were in school, these Harry Potter memes will give you what you need.
