Hermione will always have my heart!
In honor of her 42nd birthday this week, we're celebrating one of the most beloved Mighty Girl literary and film characters of all time: Hermione Granger! Since the release of the first Harry Potter novel 24 years ago, Hermione has remained one of the most popular literary role models for many Mighty Girls. In an interview, actress Emma Watson reflected on the impact of her famous character: “Hermione was that perfect example of turning on its head this initial prejudice that she gets. Hermione finds a way to wield her intelligence and become really the leader in this group of two other boys. That's kind of the role that she assumes. Harry is much more intuitive. Ron is just along for the ride. Hermione is the one with a plan. She's in control. I think somehow that gave other women permission to feel that they were allowed to take up space."
