“Unlocking Secrets: Mind-Bending Harry Potter Theories That Redefine the Wizarding World’s Legacy!”
Hermione Tells The Reader How To Say Her Name
Here’s one fan theory that we can officially confirm! In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione Granger takes a moment to school her triwizard champion about to properly say her name. It’s pronounced, “her-my-oh-nee,” in case you missed that passage.
Rowling admitted that she didn’t add the passage because it was important to the story. She added it because it was important to the audience. Harry, Ron and other names are more common and easy to pronounce. At the time, Hermione was not.
Hermione Chose Her Own House
In the first Harry Potter book, it’s made explicitly clear that Harry chose Gryffindor. The Sorting Hat believed he was best suited for Slytherin, but Potter was adamantly against it. Because Harry got his way, perhaps Hermione did, too.
Don’t you think Hermione might be better suited for Ravenclaw? The reason, it’s believed, Hermione pushed for Gryffindor over Ravenclaw was because she admired the house’s bravery, and wanted to prove she could be brave herself. We do know her decision had nothing to do with Harry or Ron, because she was sorted before them.
Ron Chose His House, Too
Just like Hermione and Harry, the trio wouldn’t be complete unless Ron Weasley forced his way into Gryffindor, too. On paper, he’s a terrible fit for the house and probably better suited for Hufflepuff. By the end of the journey, however, he proves that he belongs.
