Symbols for a Character

I am going to use Hermione Granger to select a tangible item that would symbolize them. For Hermione, I would choose an encyclopedia.

Hermione symbolizes an encyclopedia because she always has all of the answer. Every spell, every potion, every solution to whatever problem they may have. Encyclopedias are used to learn more facts and information about a certain topic. That is something that Hermione has in common. Here's a quote to support my opinion, "He waved his wand, but nothing happened. Scabbers stayed gray and fast asleep.
“Are you sure that’s a real spell?” said the girl[Hermione]. “Well, it’s not very good, is it? I’ve tried a few simple spells just for practice and it’s all worked for me. I’ve learned all our course books by heart, of course.” " This quote is from the first book, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' but it still pertains to my opinion. She says in the quote that she learned all of the school books by heart. She knows all of the information just like and encyclopedia would. 

This link is many more quotes said by Hermione Granger that just support my thesis even more.
