J.K. Rowling’s character Granger is named Hermione.
Hermione Granger is one of the central characters in the Harry Potter novels. She becomes Harry Potter’s and Ron Weasley’s closest friend after meeting them on the Hogwarts Express and later helps solve problems through research, logic, and practical magic.
Hermione is a Muggle-born witch, meaning that both of her parents are non-magical people. Her academic ability and preparation often complement Harry’s courage and Ron’s loyalty. The trio’s friendship is one of the series’ main emotional foundations, and Hermione’s knowledge is especially important during their search for Horcruxes.
The name was chosen partly because Rowling wanted it to sound unusual and distinctive. Hermione is also a figure from Greek mythology, the daughter of Helen of Troy and Menelaus. Emma Watson played Hermione in the eight-film adaptation of the Harry Potter novels.
