Hermione, born on September 19, 1979, arrives at the Hogwarts School of Magic determined to amaze everyone with her ingenuity and diligence. Although not at all popular, she manages to become the best friend of Harry Potter and Ron Wesley. Having Muggle parents (as people without magical powers are called in Rowling's world) she often had to face racist comments, namely the characterization "muddy" by her classmates and especially Draco Malfoy.
