Hermione Granger

Early Life (1980-1991)
Hermione Jean Granger was born on September 19th, 1979, to Mr. and Mrs. Granger.

She is an only child.

As a child, her favorite book was Matilda, as she was able to empathize with the main character very strongly.

Her suspicions that she, like Matilda, could do magic were confirmed when Minerva McGonagall appeared on her parents' doorstep one afternoon in the summer of 1991.

First Year (1991-1992)
Hermione received her letter in June of 1991 and immediately accepted her attendance offer.

She spent much of the time after accepting her attendance researching the Wizarding World's history, developing quite the admiration for Lily Potter.

She met Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, the other two members of the Golden Trio, on the train to Hogwarts, when she walked into the compartment and asked after a mutual friend's missing pet.

Hermione got up to quite a lot of mischief with her two new friends, including a (failed) midnight duel with Draco Malfoy, the discovery of the Mirror of Erised, and the search for who exactly Nicolas Flamel is.
