Why did everyone suddenly love Hermione Granger?

Hermione Granger had a rough go of it in the beginning. But through her brains and her willingness to help others, everyone seemingly fell in love.

When you look back on the amount of men who had crushes on Hermione Granger, it is a little shocking. Not because we all didn’t love her, but because of the way she is described by Harry and Ron in the beginning.

For her to suddenly have this attractive quality seems insane. But we’re going to take a look at why that isn’t true. First of all, they’re only eleven when they start school. So they’re very much “girls have cooties” and not interested.

But as the boys age, so does Hermione. She never changes who she is, but she does have her looks change. And it makes the boys of Hogwarts (and even Drumstrang) finally notice her. I just think it is funny how Ron (and definitely Draco) fell in love with Hermione when they were both loudly against her.

I still think that Harry had a crush on her at some point (I always shipped Harmony) but still, the point remains. Everyone loved Hermione and it gave us a good image to look up to. Yes she is beautiful but part of that beauty comes from her intellect.

She never dumbed herself down to be more widely accepted and showed us that she could be desirable and not just because of her looks. Basically, Hermione is pretty awesome and we’re lucky to have grown up with a character like her in our books. Especially since she never forced herself to fit into anyone else’s mold.
