The attention to her appearance was unusual, and she received many positive remarks on it. Hermione commented that she had used <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Sleekeazy%27s%20Hair%20Potion%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Sleekeazy%27s%20Hair%20Potion%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSleekeazy%27s%20Hair%20Potion%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Sleekeazy%27s_Hair_Potion" title="Sleekeazy's Hair Potion">Sleekeazy's Hair Potion</a>, but that it was too much work to use it every day. Upon seeing Hermione with Krum, Ron was overcome with jealousy. Hermione intended for Ron to ask her, but his invite was insensitive and at the last minute. The two rowed about it in the common room, in which Hermione revealed that he should have asked her instead of Krum, but Ron misunderstood the point. After that, the two were seemingly more polite, although Ron continued to show dislike of Krum.

Halfway through the year at Hogwarts, Harry had a vision- a real vision, which was a snake (Nagini, Voldemort's snake) biting Mr Weasley during his task in the Order of the Phoenix. Mr Weasley was carried into St. Mungo's Hospital, where he was screamed at from Mrs Weasley, having said that he ought to try stitching his wound instead of healing it with magic. Hermione was one of the few who visited him and stayed at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place for a couple of weeks until Mr Weasley was nursed back to health. Hermione had managed to convince her parents by telling them that skiing wasn't really her thing and that people who were serious about exams (Ordinary Wizarding Levels, O.W.L.s for short) stayed at Hogwarts and studied.

The D.A. brought Harry into greater contact with <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Cho%20Chang%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Cho%20Chang%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCho%20Chang%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Cho_Chang" title="Cho Chang">Cho Chang</a>.

In an effort to combat the lies being told about Harry, Hermione also arranged for an interview during a <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Hogsmeade%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Hogsmeade%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BHogsmeade%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Hogsmeade" title="Hogsmeade">Hogsmeade</a> <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22visit%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Hogsmeade%20weekend%20trips%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BHogsmeade%20weekend%20trips%7Cvisit%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Hogsmeade_weekend_trips" title="Hogsmeade weekend trips">visit</a> with <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Rita%20Skeeter%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Rita%20Skeeter%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRita%20Skeeter%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Rita_Skeeter" title="Rita Skeeter">Rita Skeeter</a> to be printed in <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22The%20Quibbler%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22The%20Quibbler%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BThe%20Quibbler%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/The_Quibbler" title="The Quibbler">The Quibbler</a> telling his side of the story.

They began arguing over petty issues such as cooking, and growing moodier. The negative energy from the locket caused Ron to accuse Harry of his poor leadership. <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22image%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BFile%3AHarry_%26amp%3B_Hermione_dancing.JPG%7Cthumb%7C240px%7C%5B%5BHarry%20Potter%7CHarry%5D%5D%20comforting%20Hermione%20after%20%5B%5BRonald%20Weasley%7CRon%5D%5D%27s%20departure%5D%5D%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Harry_%26_Hermione_dancing.JPG%22%2C%22params%22%3A%7B%22thumbnail%22%3Atrue%2C%22caption%22%3A%22Ron%5D%5D%27s%20departure%22%2C%22width%22%3A240%2C%22captionParsed%22%3A%22%3Ca%20_rte_dataidx%3D%5C%222465%5C%22%20href%3D%5C%22%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FHarry_Potter%5C%22%20title%3D%5C%22Harry%20Potter%5C%22%3EHarry%3C%5C%2Fa%3E%20comforting%20Hermione%20after%20%3Ca%20_rte_dataidx%3D%5C%222466%5C%22%20href%3D%5C%22%5C%2Fwiki%5C%2FRonald_Weasley%5C%22%20title%3D%5C%22Ronald%20Weasley%5C%22%3ERon%3C%5C%2Fa%3E%27s%20departure%22%7D%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" alt="" src="" width="240" height="100" class="image thumb withCaption" type="image" /> They fought physically, although Hermione stopped them before they started casting spells. Ron also accused Hermione of choosing Harry over him, causing him to be jealous and feel left out by his two friends' growing friendship.

By the time she got rid of the shield charm, all she could do was scream for him to come back, without success. Hermione then cried over Ron for more than a week after his departure, although she tried to hide it from Harry. Both were deeply saddened and hurt by their friend's departure, although Hermione more than Harry, as she cried over Ron's departure for weeks.

Hermione seems to have a great deal of compassion, evidenced by her somewhat whimsical purchase of Crookshanks simply because "No one wanted him."

Hermione also cared for her children; when Ron joked about disinheriting the family members who weren't Sorted into Gryffindor, Hermione placated <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Rose%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Rose%20Weasley%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRose%20Weasley%7CRose%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Rose_Weasley" title="Rose Weasley">Rose</a> and her cousin <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Albus%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Albus%20Potter%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BAlbus%20Potter%7CAlbus%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Albus_Potter" title="Albus Potter">Albus</a>.

Hermione is very similar to Harry's mother, Lily, in many ways. Both are muggle-born, both were exceedingly bright witches, both had male best friends, and both fell in love and married one of their friends — Lily married James, while Hermione later married Ron.

It is interesting to note that Albus Dumbledore's final plan to defeat Lord Voldemort, in which Harry would learn the story of the Deathly Hallows in time to use them against Voldemort, revolved not only around Harry himself, but Hermione. Dumbledore knew that Harry was too passionate and angry to be able to keep from attempting to become Master of Death, and so entrusted The Tales of Beedle the Bard to Hermione, so that she would learn of the Hallows' symbol first and would be able to caution and guide Harry down the path of reason. Harry and Hermione's is a joint role in which each inexorably needs the other, recalling ancient dualities like the head and the heart and the male and female of pagan religions.

He was particularly unpleasant towards the trio, and regularly punished and verbally assaulted Harry and Ron for their poor to mediocre performances in his class. He could not do the same to Hermione, as she was the best student in the year and instead mocked her for things like being an "insufferable know-it-all," once even snidely insulting the size of Hermione's teeth<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cref%20name%3D%5C%22GOF%5C%22%20%5C%2F%3E%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" class="placeholder placeholder-ext" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="ext" />.

It is unknown exactly how she reacted to learning of Snape's true motives and allegiance, but given her personality, it is highly likely that she came to both forgive her former Professor's cruelty, and even admire him for his bravery.

After her one year punishment was over, Rita went back to writing with as much enthusiasm and as little scruples as she had before, although it's unknown if she ever crossed Hermione again.

Hermione in Harry Potter is stated to be not at all similar to her namesake in The Winter's Tale, who was the wife of Leontes, king of Sicilia (Sicily), who was a friend of Polixines, the king of Bohemia. At the beginning of the play, Polixines has been visiting Leontes and Hermione for nine months, and Hermione's pregnancy is showing. Because of this, and because of the attention paid to her by Polixines, Leontes erroneously concludes that his wife has been unfaithful to him (mirroring <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Ron%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Ronald%20Weasley%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRonald%20Weasley%7CRon%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Ronald_Weasley" title="Ronald Weasley">Ron</a>'s suspicions against <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Harry%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Harry%20Potter%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BHarry%20Potter%7CHarry%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Harry_Potter" title="Harry Potter">Harry</a> and Hermione in Deathly Hallows). Eventually, however, he realises otherwise, and in the end he, Hermione and their daughter are happily reunited.

Hermione is also the name of a minor character in the novel, The Green Mile. Some fans believe that Rowling took the name from the novel since in the "Praise for the Order of The Phoenix," she states, "I scared Stephen King!"

Hermione was also the name of a 32 gun British frigate launched in 1782. Its full name was the HMS Frigate. It served during the time of the French Revolution in the West Indies. The ship's name did not stick however, and by the time it was decommissioned in 1805, it had been renamed twice: in 1799 as the Retaliation, and again in 1802 as the Retribution.<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cref%3E%5Bhttp%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fwww.miniaturewoodenships.com%5C%2FModel%2BHMS%2BHermione%2BBritish%2BFrigate%2BHandcrafted%2BMiniature%2BWooden%2BShip%2BHand%2BMade%2BMuseum%2BQuality%2BModels.html%5C%2F%20Miniature%20Woddenships%5D%3C%5C%2Fref%3E%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" class="placeholder placeholder-ext" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="ext" /> A British Dido-class light cruiser launched in 1939 was also named the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22HMS%20Hermione%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Wikipedia%3AHMS%20Hermione%20%2874%29%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BWikipedia%3AHMS%20Hermione%20%2874%29%7CHMS%20Hermione%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Hermione_(74)" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:HMS Hermione (74)">HMS Hermione</a>.

• The reason that Rowling chose such an uncommon name as Hermione for the character is because, according to her, she did not bear getting any child mocked because of sharing a name with an "insufferable know-it-all" such as Hermione.

However, Emma provided the voice for Hermione while she was in disguise.
• Although the novels describe Hermione as having rather large front teeth in her younger years, this is not depicted in the films, as Watson never had large teeth.

• However, in his on-screen commentary for the Blu-Ray release of Philosopher's Stone, reveals that the final scene of the film does show Hermione's large front teeth. According to Columbus, the scene - which was actually the first to be shot - was filmed with Emma Watson wearing fake teeth to simulate the look of Hermione, but that after filming the sequence it was decided to continue using them would have been impractical. Via edits, the appearance of Hermione's teeth is minimised, but they are still visible when she speaks in the scene.

• Also, Hermione's hair is only as bushy as it is implied to be in the books in the first two films. Instead, her hair is shown as rather curly or wavy, although it does briefly take on a bushy appearance once again for comedic effect during the potion-making contest sequence of the film <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Harry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Half-Blood%20Prince%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Harry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Half-Blood%20Prince%20%28film%29%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BHarry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Half-Blood%20Prince%20%28film%29%7CHarry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Half-Blood%20Prince%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="509-2543240204f5289318b5f9" href="/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Half-Blood_Prince_(film)" title="Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)">Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince</a>.

This may have something to do with the emotional nature of the spell; Harry, due to his inability to cut off his emotions, is particularly adept at this spell, while the logical Hermione has issues with it. It may also have something to do with the caster's self confidence as JK has stated that Hermione is afraid of failure and Harry's first powerful uses of the spell, at a Quidditch match and when he saved Sirius, seemed more motivated by his confidence rather then a positive memory.
