If your reading list is never-ending… You’re bookworm Hermione

Do you sleep soundly at night knowing you have a foot-tall pile of books next to your bed? Do you have four reads on rotation at any given time? Then you align with Hermione in her purest form… a lifelong booklover. You’ve read for fun as long as you can remember and you’re on first-name terms with your local librarian. When someone tells you that they ‘don’t really read,’ it takes all your willpower to resist rolling your eyes.

After all, reading isn’t just a hobby. Hermione’s book knowledge literally saved lives. Whether deciphering a deadly potion puzzle, surviving a Basilisk encounter, or solving the key to the Deathly Hallows, she proved time and time again that reading is just as powerful as magic. You can use this logic next time someone tries to drag you out to a party when you’d rather a night in with a book. You’re welcome.

If you pack for holiday a month in advance… You’re hyper-organised Hermione

There are two types of people: those who book the holiday, make the packing list, organise travel insurance, and check everyone into the flight… and those who ask what resort you’re staying in when you’ve already taken off. If you’re the former, we reckon we know what your favourite magical object is.

All hail… Hermione’s beaded bag. If you think that this bottomless, bountiful bag is the absolute peak use of magic, then you are Hermione the organised extraordinaire. From memorising her set texts before she even reached Hogwarts, to mastering the Time-Turner in her third year to create a seemingly impossible school timetable, you admired Hermione’s dedication to efficiency long before she packed for the Horcrux hunt. You channel your inner Hermione whenever you open a new life admin spreadsheet, safe in the knowledge that your more impulsive friends will appreciate you making their lives run smoother. And believe us, they do (even if they don’t always say it).

Do you take absolutely no prisoners? Then you’re ruthless Hermione

Did you cheer when Hermione slapped Draco in the face? Okay, we all did to be fair, but if you think about that moment every day then you’re Hermione at her most savage. Don’t get you wrong, you’re a forgiving person; everyone’s allowed to make mistakes. BUT (and this is a big one) if someone is deliberately hurting you or your friends… Their scot-free days are numbered.

Was it ill advised to set fire to a Snape’s cloak in a tightly crowded Quidditch stand? Debatable. Did Rita Skeeter deserve to be forced into her beetle form, trapped in a glass jar and blackmailed? Probably. Was it harsh to hex Marietta Edgecombe’s face with traitorous spots that probably haunted her nightmares for years to come? Maybe… but it did the trick. They would all think twice about crossing Hermione again. And it all made you respect her even more.

Do your friends go to you for relationship advice? You’re emotionally intelligent Hermione

Hermione’s intellect extended beyond the realm of books; she was much better at reading people than Harry or Ron were throughout school. She twigged that Ron probably had feelings for her around the same point that he first realised that she was, in fact, a girl. She wasn’t wrong when she trepidatiously called out Harry’s ‘saving people’ complex. (sorry not sorry). Not to mention her iconic explanation for why Cho Chang could possibly be emotionally conflicted by kissing Harry less than a year after her ex-boyfriend – and Harry’s Triwizard competitor – was dispatched by Voldemort... we’ll never look at a teaspoon in the same way again.

If this slightly exasperated Hermione resonates with you, we bet that you’re the relationship guru of your friend group. You use your natural empathy to encourage people to put their egos aside, see other perspectives, and just communicate. Mainly so that you can get on with your own life!

If you intend to change the world… You’re revolutionary Hermione

As much as Hermione loved following rules, she understood that some of them were in desperate need of being rewritten. If you’ve started a humanitarian society, written up a petition, or got particularly passionate in debate club, then you’re revolutionary Hermione. You’re the first to point out injustices and, like Hermione, you’re more than happy to take matters into your own hands.

While some of her political ventures were less successful than others (we still think she was ahead of her time with S.P.E.W.) Hermione never stopped rallying around a good cause. She was always reminding Harry to do what was right, even if it wasn’t easy. Let’s not forget, it was her idea to set up Dumbledore’s Army, despite early scepticism from her fellow students; and look how that turned out. We think even Zacharias Smith would agree that we need more revolutionaries like you and Hermione in the world.
