Happy Birthday Hermione (Granger) Weasley!

Today we wish Hermione Jean (Granger) Weasley a very Happy Birthday. Hermione is one of the brightest Witches of her time.

As a true heroine, Hermione not only fought valiantly in the Battle of Hogwarts, but she made the defeat of Voldemort possible. As Ron admitted once about Harry’s quest for Horcruxes, “we wouldn’t last two days without her.”

Hermione’s brilliance brought her back to Hogwarts to finish her education, and then on to becoming the Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement–holding one of the most important positions in Wizarding Government.

After completing school, Hermione married her Hogwarts-sweetheart, and long-time friend, Ronald Weasley. She then took on another important occupation: being a wonderful mother to her daughter and son, Rose and Hugo.

J.K. Rowling expressed her birthday wishes this morning, on Twitter, saying what the rest of us are thinking: we miss the character of Hermione.

Pottermore asked for all to share their favorite Hermione quotes. There are so many!

Please join us in wishing this wonderful character a very Happy Birthday–for the Wizarding World would not be the same without her!
