Rowling wrote Hermione to eschew stereotypes. She doesn’t end up with the hero; she is never there to function as Harry’s love interest. She prefers Arithmancy to Divination in school. Hermione is also a total badass, despite her prim and proper reputation. … So often, female characters are allowed to be aggressive or rebellious, but in exchange are stripped of any traditionally feminine qualities and instead are forced to pick up traditionally masculine traits. However, Hermione is never made to do that. Most notably, she is written to be highly logical AND emotionally expressive, a combination not commonly afforded to most of today’s leading ladies.

Liz Feuerbach, “The Women of the Harry Potter Universe” (via writingadvice)

Every woman Rowling writes is a badass of the highest order. The entire theatre cheered at everything Molly Weasley and Professor McGonagall did. HBsIC, I tell ya.

Old quote, but still true.
