In the "Golden Triangle" of "Harry Potter", we know Harry and Ron's family very well, but as the only girl, Hermione's family, that is, the Granger family, whether it is It is rarely mentioned in novels or movies.
So, in what kind of family did Hermione grow up? What kind of people are her parents?
Let’s talk about the ordinary and unusual Grangers today.
1, occupation
Although, in the novel, they are always called Mr. and Mrs Granger (Mr. and Mrs Granger), but Hermione has mentioned that, Both her parents are dentists.
We know that dentistry is a high-paying profession in the West, so Granger’s family should at least be a middle-class family. Like Dursley’s, there is a single-family house in the suburbs of London.
Considering that the Grangers have the same occupations, they are likely to have been classmates or colleagues. After the tie was tied, they gave birth to their only daughter, Hermione, in 1979.
2, younger sister
at the Edinburgh Book Festival in 2004, Rowling revealed in an interview that, in fact, she initially planned to let Hermione have a younger sister, just like her parents , This sister is also a Muggle and cannot go to Hogwarts like her sister (is it a copy of Lily and Petunia?).
However, Rowling never found a suitable opportunity to realize this plan, and finally she gave up completely. After all, this is just a sideline plot and has no effect on the main line. Thus, Hermione became the only child of Granger's family.
3. Enter the magic world
Although the Grangers are Muggles, they have entered the magic world. To be precise, they accompanied Hermione to Diagon Alley during "The Chamber of Secrets", and even entered Gringotts. They exchanged Muggle money for some magical world currency.
However, the entrance to Diagon Alley is the Broken Cauldron Bar. But Muggles can't see it at all, only wizards can see it. So how did the Grangers enter the Broken Cauldron Bar? This is a question worth discussing.
4, "Women's big girl does not stay in"
As Hermione adapts and penetrates into the magical world, she seems to be getting further and further away from her parents. Although, in the previous few years of vacation, I would go home and spend time with my parents. During the "Prisoner of Azkaban", the family still wanted to go to France for a holiday, but maybe they were friends who were thinking about the magical world. Hermione often The vacation would end early, but instead of going back to school, she went straight to the Burrow and stayed with the Weasleys.
Alas, here I have to mention the Grangers sighed, "I don't want to stay in the female college."
5. One Forgetting
On the eve of the outbreak of the Second Wizarding War, Hermione had to modify their memories so that her parents would not be harmed by the Death Eaters.
This time, the Grangers finally got a name, although it was only a pseudonym. Mr. Granger changed his name to Wendell Wilkins (Wendell Wilkins), and Mrs. Granger was named Monica Wilkins (Monica Wilkins).
They became the Wilkins couple without a daughter, and they plan to move to Australia to settle.
6. Restoring memories
In 1998, after the Second Wizarding War ended, Ron accompanied Hermione to Australia and restored her parents’ memories. After "waking up", the Grangers not only saw their daughter again, but also had a son-in-law.
I don’t know, the old couple who finally united with their daughter, how complicated will it be to face this boy who is about to marry their little jacket? (Hermione and Ron were married very young)
However, the relationship between the Grangers and the Weasleys is very good. Especially Arthur Weasley, he has always been full of curiosity about Muggle things. Now, there is an additional Muggle in-law, and he probably should be happy.
