My favorite character is Hermione Granger! Ever since I was first introduced to Harry Potter, I have loved Hermione. I have always related with her a lot: being hardworking, loving to read, making school a priority, taking on more than is reasonable... She has always been an inspiration to me because she doesn't let anything hold her back from doing her absolute best. Even when she encounters obstacles (e.g. discrimination for being muggleborn, not having enough time to take all of her classes, struggling with a spell, etc.), she always overcomes them. Sometimes, it's difficult, but she shows the importance of perseverance and dedication. She also grows a lot as a character. She has always had a good heart and done what she believes is right, but she does sort out her priorities (as Ron asserts she needs to do in Sorcerer's Stone) and learns to be a leader. I will also admit, I love Emma Watson as Hermione. I really could not imagine anyone else in that role.
