Harry's close friend, who he considers close enough to be a sister, is a loveable character, for sure. I relate to her in several ways: She's a little nerdy, with her wealth of knowledge and love for learning, yet she's personable, bold and soft-hearted, as well. (I think she has more courages and common sense than I do, though.) While it's not surprising to find her crying, how many times does she save Harry or conjure up just the right spell at just the right time? That takes guts, and I like it. Ron leaves; she stays. She’s committed and loyal to the cause, desperate for a part to play, even when it’s a difficult task.
Despite Hermione’s evident strength, though, she needs the people around her as much as all the other characters do. (I think the book as a whole beautifully illustrates the necessity of community, both family and friends). She battles about her emotions for Ron at times, but then when he leaves, she is heartbroken and torn. I love that they end up together in the end. They balance each other well.
