Today we wish the happiest of birthdays to Hermione Jean Granger, a heroine in her own right who taught us so much about “books and cleverness”, of course, but also friendship, bravery, compassion, leadership, integrity, and so much more.

Pottermore celebrates Hermione today by sharing a few little-known facts about the character–like this unexpected tidbit J.K. Rowling revealed to BBC on World Book Day in 2004:

“I always planned that Hermione would have a younger sister but she’s never made an appearance and somehow it feels like it might be too late now.”
