Which Harry Potter character is the daughter of Muggles in J.K. Rowling’s books?

Hermione Granger is the Harry Potter character whose parents are Muggles. In Rowling’s books, “Muggle” is the wizarding term for a person without magical ability, so Hermione is described as Muggle-born.

Hermione becomes one of Harry Potter’s closest friends after meeting him and Ron Weasley aboard the Hogwarts Express. She is exceptionally academic, solves problems through research, and becomes a key participant in the fight against Lord Voldemort.

Her family background is important to the series because it exposes prejudice within wizarding society. The term “Muggle-born” is not the same as “Squib”: a Muggle-born witch or wizard has magical ability, while a Squib is a non-magical person born into a wizarding family. Emma Watson portrayed Hermione in the film adaptations.
