Harry Potter may be the Boy Who Lived, all special and fated and, don't get us wrong, a nice enough kid, but true Harry Potter fans have never confused mythological significance with actual utility to the cause. And if Hogwarts awarded MVP honors, we all know the prize would go not to the Boy Who Lived, but to the Girl Who Constantly Made Sure He Did Not Die a.k.a. Hermione Granger.
An excellent new meme noticed by Hello Giggles makes that reality crystal clear and gives the Harry Potter books new titles that reflect Hermione as their rightful protagonist.
Of course, Hermione would never be quite this petty—she's above grabbing credit for doing literally all of the work—but that's why the Internet is here to back her up.
So, remember that time Hermione saved Harry and Ron from Devil's Snare? Do you recall the traumatic moment she erased her parents' memories of her for the greater good? How about when she straight up decked Draco? Everybody knows that girls mature faster than boys cough Ron cough, but COME ON.
Well, the Facebook page Simply Potter remembers, and they've got the corrective. Below, we present the seven-part series that Hermione actually deserves.
- Hermione Granger and that time I used the power of research and deductive reasoning to make sure Harry didn’t die.
- Hermione Granger and that time I figured shit out and literally ended up petrified for the cause and it took my friends weeks to figure out that I had the research on me.
- Hermione Granger and that time I was a Time Lord.
- Hermione Granger and that time I realized I was hot and smart and saved Harry’s ass with research. Again. All the time. Really, he would have died without me.
- Hermione Granger and that time Harry was too emo to actually do shit so I did shit in his name because I am the power behind the throne clearly also PS fought evil Death Eaters and won.
- Hermione Granger and that time I told Harry about the dangers of copying off somebody else’s work that wasn’t mine and OH LOOK I WAS RIGHT.
- Hermione Granger and that time I let Harry decide where to go and what to do and we ended up wandering the forests of Dean for like five months before saving his ass at Hogwarts.
