Harry & Hermione by Anna Mercina

My most favorite two books are in the “Harry Potter” series and my favorite two characters from the series are Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.  I’m going to tell you some of the things that they both have in common.

Harry Potter and Hermione both wanted to be in the house of Gryffindor in Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. They didn’t want to be in the other houses because all the other houses were not as great as Gryffindor especially Slytherin because all the worst wizards came from there such as Lord Voldemort. He killed Harry’s parents when Harry was a kid.

Also, Harry and Hermione both love solving mysteries. In the first book, the both wanted to find the Sorcerers stone and in the second book they both wanted to find out who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

Another thing they both have in common is that they both trust Hagrid with their secrets. For instance, in the first book, Harry, Hermione and Ron (their friend), went to Hagrid’s cabin to tell him who they think stole the sorcerers stone. They both trust Hagrid to keep their secret safe.

Lastly, they both know how to cast spells on the things. Such as, they both know how to make things float by simply saying “Winggardium Leviosa,” and the object floats.

Now I will tell you some of the things that Harry does that Hermione doesn’t.

First of all, Harry Potter is a risk taker. For instance, in the first book (Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone), the flying teacher tells the students not to fly on their broomsticks while she takes a student to the hospital wing, but a student named Malfoy took something of the kids that went to the hospital wing and started flying away with it and Harry was about to go and immediately Hermione stopped Harry and she told him that he was going to get in trouble. As you can see, Hermione is prudent about certain things.

Next, Harry doesn’t pay attention in class that much. In the first movie, Harry was writing on paper when Professor Snape was talking. Other like Hermione, she pays attention in class so much, she corrects every mistake that someone makes. As you can see, Hermione is the smart one!

After that, Harry plays Quidditch. Quidditch is a wizard sport that is almost like football. You have to throw balls in a hoop and if you catch the golden snitch, you automatically win the game. Hermione doesn’t play a wizard sport. As you can see, Harry may be more athletic than Hermione.

Lastly, Harry Potter doesn’t have a family to go to on break. The Durleys don’t treat Harry like family. Other like Hermione, she has a nice, sweet family to go to on break. Hermione’s family treats her like family. As you can see, Harry must be a lonely man.

Now I’ll tell you things that Hermione does that Harry doesn’t do.

Hermione is prudent about certain things. For example, When Harry was about to get on his broomstick to get the thing that Malfoy took, Hermione said “NO! You are going to get in big trouble!” As you can see, Harry doesn’t think before he does his actions.

Next, Hermione is really smart. After every mistake that somebody makes. She studies for every single pop quiz. Harry just wanders off in class writing in his notebook. As you can see, Harry isn’t the smartest one.

After that, Hermione doesn’t play any kind of wizard sport. Harry does play a wizard sport that is quidditch. Professor McGonagall spotted Harry riding his broomstick and she made him the new seeker for quidditch. As you can see, Hermione may not be more athletic than Harry.

Lastly, Hermione has a family to go to for breaks. Hermione’s family is really nice, but Harry’s family is really mean and rude. The Dursley’s make Harry live under a cupboard! That’s a family that I wouldn’t want to live with!

As you can see, Harry and Hermione are both very different, but the are both the same in many different ways.
