Emma Watson/ Hermione Week! 43 days!
“Oh my God, no, no chance, no chance. That's not in my contract!” (On kissing her co-star)
"It was unbelievable seeing me as an action figure! In a few months, toddlers all around the country will be biting my head off!"
"I like being around mixed company. Dan and Rupert definitely make their fair share of cheeky comments about me being girlie, but it's all in good fun."
"I love fashion. I think it's so important, because it's how you show yourself to the world."
-Emma Watson

Emma Watson/ Hermione Week! 44 days!
They were so busy that Hermione had stopped knitting elf hats and was fretting that she was down to her last three.
"All those poor elves I haven't set free yet, having to stay over during Christmas because there aren't enough hats!"
"Just because it's taken you three years to notice, Ron, doesn't mean no one else has spotted I'm a girl!"
"The fates have informed me that your examination in June will concern the Orb, and I am anxious to give you sufficient practice.
Hermione snorted.
"Well honestly... 'the fates have informed her'... Who sets the exam? She does!"
"Twitchy little ferret, aren't you, Malfoy?"
"Malfoy's got detention! I could sing."
"There you are! Where have you been? The most ridiculous rumors--someone said you'd been expelled for crashing a flying car--"
"Well, we haven't been expelled," Harry assured her.
"You're not telling me you did fly here?" said Hermione, sounding almost as severe as Professor McGonagall.
"Skip the lecture," said Ron impatiently, "and tell us the new password."
"It's 'wattlebird,'" said Hermione impatiently, "but that's not the point--"
"Grawp's about sixteen feet tall, enjoys ripping up twenty-foot pine trees, and knows me," she snorted, "as Hermy."
"Imagine losing fingernails, Harry! That really puts our sufferings into perspective, doesn't it?"
"Harry--you're a great wizard, you know."
"I'm not as good as you," said Harry, very embarrassed, as she let him go.
"Me!" said Hermione. "Books! And cleverness! There are more important things--friendship and bravery and--oh Harry--be careful!"

Emma Watson/ Hermione Granger Week! 45 days!
• Hermione is pronounced "Her-MY-oh-knee."
• Hermione is a name from Shakespeare chosen because Hermione needed an unusual name.
• Hermione’s name is from Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale, but "my Hermione bears very little relation to *that* Hermione, but it just seemed the sort of name that a pair of professional dentists, who liked to prove how clever they were ... do you know what I mean ... gave their daughter a nice, unusual name that no-one could pronounce!" Hermione needed an unusual name because she was so snotty and annoying.
• About S.P.E.W.: Hermione thinks helping people is easy, but "she blunders towards the very people she's trying to help." Jo and her sister went through a stage like this.
• JKR: "Mostly they [kids] are really worried about Ron. As if I'm going to kill Harry's best friend. What I find interesting is only once has anyone said to me, "Don't kill Hermione," and that was after a reading when I said no one's ever worried about her... They see her as someone who is not vulnerable, but I see her as someone who does have quite a lot of vulnerability in her personality."
• JKR: "Hermione gave me a lot of trouble!" laughed Rowling. "She was really misbehaving. She developed this big political conscience about the House elves. Well, she wanted to go her own way, and for two chapters, she just went wandering off. I just let her do it and then I scrapped two chapters and kept a few bits. That I liked. That’s the most trouble anyone’s ever given me, but it was fun so I gave her her head."• Hermione’s birthday is the 19th of September.
• JKR "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."
• Hermione’s middle name is Jane. (Just like Umbrige, lol)

Emma Watson Week, Counting Down to the Premire of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One
Forty-Seven days from Sunday, October Thrid!
Wasn't she like so cute? I think that's from the second one.
"At least no one on Griffindor had to buy their way in! They got in off pure talent!"
"You are, truly, the most remarkable witch of your age."
"Do you take pride in being an unsufferable know-it-all?"
"What's the point? You know the book by heart, we can always ask you."
"An' they haven't invented a spell are Hermione can't do."
"You just want to keep his autograph!"
"Are you sure that's a real spell? Beacause it's not very good, is it?"
"Second-- to Miss Hermione Granger... for the use of cool logic in the face of fire, I award Griffindor house fifty points."
"I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could have all benn killed... or worse, expelled, now, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed."
"See here everyone! Miss Granger's done it!"

From that moment on, Herminone Granger was their friend. There are some things in life that you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountai troll is one of them.
