Character Development

Through out the entire Harry Potter series, we see many characters come and go. One in which we see often in the books is Hermione Granger. I am going to look at the character's development in each of the novels and how she was when she first met Harry to now in the third book.

At first in the very first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Hermione comes in and presents herself as snobby and stuck up, helping Neville look for his pet. Even Rowling describes her with a rude 'Know-It-All' sort of stature.Like when she first introduces her, "She had a bossy sort of voice , lots of bushy brown hair, and rather large front teeth." (pg. 105) This quote tells us how Harry and Ron first feel about Hermione which is important for us to see how the characters do develop.

In the second and third book, and even the first book, we see that they come to like Hermione and welcome her into their "group". We see this for example in the third book, "Inside this, too, there was a wrapped present, a card, and a letter, this time from Hermione." this quote shows that Hermione really does care for Harry and vice versa.

These quotes just support how Hermione has grown as a character as we read the books. And that a character that we learn to really dislike at first can turn out to be one of our favorites.
