Hermione is easily the brightest witch in her year at Hogwarts. She is a Gryffindor who entered Hogwarts in 1991. Her parents are Muggles, and both dentists. She reads voraciously and tends to believe that anything worth knowing about can be learned about in books. In her first year at Hogwarts, Hermione found herself disliked by most of the other kids. She was a bossy know-it-all who told everyone else off for not doing everything according to the rules. She mellowed somewhat over that first year and even more in the years that followed, but she has not lost her disapproval of rule-breaking.
