Harry, Ron, And Hermione's Choices Of Which Of The Deathly Hallows Is Best Is Very Telling Of Their Natures
From Redditor u/Dalebackwards:
Hermione speaking on the The Tale of the Three Brothers: "It's just a morality tale, it's obvious which gift is best, which one you'd choose -- "
The three of them spoke at the same time; Hermione said, "the Cloak," Ron said, "the wand," and Harry said, "the stone."
- Hermione - the smart choice
- Ron - the choice which brings glory and power
- Harry - the choice of someone who has lost so many close to him
Interestingly enough, both Harry and Ron's choices were reflected in what they saw in The Mirror of Erised as well - Harry to be with his parents and Ron to assume many achievements and glory

From Redditor u/WooDadooDooRakeYohn:
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Harry, Ron and Hermione easily navigate past a troll, spiders, a werewolf and dementors. These are all antagonists of the first 3 films and demonstrates how powerful our protagonists have become.
From Redditor u/kenneth_kimmeth:
During the part where Harry, Hermione and Ron are running through the battle to get to Snape (basically after the protective bubble collapses) The whole scene of their running is a recollection of all the films. First they encounter a troll (in the bathroom), Then spiders (in the forbidden forest), Then Frenrir the werewolf (like Lupin), Then dead Lavender Brown (innocent death like Cedric), then a huge swarm of dementers chased away by the Order of the Phoenix and DA, and they go find Snape (The Half Blood Prince).

From Redditor u/wteyart:
I've just realized that in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Professor Trelawney says Hermione has a clouded nature about her (or whatever the phrasing was) during their argument. This is because Hermione is living two futures with her time turner usage.

From Redditor u/Art0001:
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the reason why Ron couldn't make scabbers yellow was because the spell only worked on rats and as we could see in the third movie / book that was not a rat but an Animagus.

At least from what we know. Harry kissed Cho and Ginny, Ron kissed Lavender and Hermione, Hermione kissed Krum and Ron. Assuming none of them were unfaithful in their marriages, they all kissed only one person other than their spouse.

Hermione Is Approximately 12 Days Older At The End Of 'Prisoner Of Azkaban'
- Photo:
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Warner Bros. Pictures
From Redditor u/Gideon_Crumb:
An example Hogwarts schedule gives 7 periods per day, 45 minutes per period. Ron and Harry take 9 subjects, which presumably is a normal, full load. Hermione is taking all 12. The schedule has variable days with alternating double periods, so it is easiest to calculate based on a weekly average. So 7 periods per day, 5 days per week gives 35 periods per week. With 9 subjects over 35 periods, that is 3.89 periods/subject/week. At 45 minutes per period, you get an average of 2.92 hours/subject/week. Hermione has 3 classes in excess of Ron and Harry, so 3 subjects x 2.92 hrs/subject/week gives 8.75 excess hours per week during the weeks she took all 3 extra classes, and 5.84 excess hours per week after April when she dropped Divination.
Assuming for the school year about 36 weeks of active class time (52 - about 16 weeks for breaks and holidays, best guess, I don't really know about the UK school calendar), she took three extra classes for 28 weeks and two extra classes for maybe 8 weeks, she would have accumulated: (28 weeks x 8.75 hrs/week) + (8 weeks x 5.84 hrs/week) = 291.72 extra hours. With 24 hours per day and 291.72 extra hours, she would be 12.16 days older at the end of the school year.
