Literature Harry Potter (1997)

9/19/1979  · J.K. Rowling

September 19, 1979 is the birthday of Hermione Granger, the brightest witch of her age and the member of the trio most responsible for keeping Harry Potter alive. Born to Muggle dentists, she arrives at Hogwarts already having memorised most of the textbooks — a head start that never quite compensates for the social awkwardness of being right about everything, all the time.
