Which Hogwarts house does Hermione Granger belong to in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series?

The story behind the answer

Hermione Granger belongs to Gryffindor in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

The Sorting Hat places Hermione in Gryffindor during the first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The house is associated with courage, bravery, and daring, qualities Hermione repeatedly demonstrates during the story.

Hermione is one of Harry Potter’s two closest friends, alongside Ron Weasley. Her academic ability, extensive reading, and practical knowledge frequently help the trio solve problems and survive dangerous situations.

Ravenclaw is the Hogwarts house most associated with learning and intelligence, so it is a common alternative guess. Hermione’s intelligence is central to her character, but her official house is Gryffindor.
