Remember when Hermione Granger obliviated her parents? Well, what ever happened to them? Did they remember her or do they completely forget their daughter?
Hermione Granger had to use a spell on her parents to make them forget everything about their daughter. She whispered “obliviate” and then everything about Hermione Jane Granger was gone. But did she ever fix their memories?
There are a lot of moments in this series that have us questioning “what ever happened with that” but none more than the mystery of Hermione’s parents. In an effort to protect them, Hermione erases all memories and evidence that she ever existed. So what exactly happened after the war was over?
Is there a way to reverse the spell or did Hermione just not exist to them after that? I don’t think I could erase myself from my parent’s memories and then never go back, I love them too much. And from what we can see, Hermione felt the same way about her parents.
So what did she do? Just shrug them off and think “ah well they’re better off”? I just think it’s a loose end that really needed to be tied up. While some could just float into oblivion and let the fans theorize what happened, this one is too heartbreaking to think about.
The idea that her parents could live on without knowing their daughter is so sad. So why couldn’t we get a little glimpse of them dropping off Ron and Hermione’s kids with them? Or what about a mention of them in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child? Just some way of letting us know that her parents ended up remembering her and they’re all happy.

It’s honestly just too heartbreaking to think of the less than favorable ending so instead, let’s just say that Hermione went back, fixed her parents, and they were proud when they learned of all the amazing things their daughter did.
