What the world sees Harry Potter as: A somewhat bland protagonist. A little serious, and
without much of a sense of humour. Why didn’t he end up with Hermione? And why
did he keep Ron around?
What Harry actually is: A complete sass-master and sarcastic joker.
Hot-headed and brash, with a fierce protectiveness over the people he cares
about. Treats Hermione as his big sister, and finds her really annoying most of
the time. Wouldn’t be able to function without his best mate and platonic life-partner
Ronald Bilius Weasley. Will probably curse you if you diss Ron. NO-ONE disses his wheezy.
What the world sees Hermione Granger as: Bad-ass female role model, and a literal genius. Incredibly
beautiful, brilliant at all forms of magic, and almost perfect in every way.
Literally the reason why Harry survived everything throughout the series. Why
did she settle for Ron?
What Hermione actually is: A vindictive know-it-all, but has a heart-of-gold
and loves her friends deeply. Is jealous, emotionally insensitive, and has
trouble socialising. While responsible for the book-smarts, she is also prone
to ignoring small but important details that are important in the wider
picture. Will start fist-fights with anyone who dares besmirch the name of the love of her life, Ron Weasley.
What the world sees Ron as: The sidekick and comic-relief of the trio. Eats a
lot, and makes Hermione cry. Makes a lot of dumb jokes and silly faces. Not a
brilliant friend, by most accounts. Emotional range of a teaspoon. How did he
land such a great girl as Hermione?
What Ron actually is: The heart and
soul of the golden trio. Completely irreplaceable to both Harry and
Hermione. A literal cinnamon roll that deserves the world. Quite possibly the
funniest and wittiest person you will ever meet. Has the best and healthiest
emotional range of the trio. A flawed but solidly good individual who made
mistakes, but always came through for his friends in the end. Has the best
character arc of the three protagonists, and a great example of a person rising
above their flaws and self-doubts. Never thought he was good enough for
anything, but eventually developed his own self-confidence. The perfect match for Hermione in every way;
the yin to her yang, the calm to her intensity, the water to her fire, and a
person so wonderful Hermione can’t
believe her luck that she ended up with him.
fun story I first became obsessed with the harry potter series and hermione in particular in yr 3 of primary school and I decided I wanted to be like hermione in every way so I started reading *lots* and working super hard in school, got a reputation for bookishness and being the smart kid that I kept up into high school and lol here I am graduating in a few weeks from Cambridge all bc I adored this clever bookworm in a children’s book series and absorbed her into my personality as a child like ???
basically long story short female role models in kids media are EVERYTHING
