Another important plot point ignored by the Movies.

In the Books, Hermione brought along Phineas Nigellus Black’s portrait from 12 Grimmauld Place. Since he was once a headmaster of Hogwarts, he had another portrait hanging in Snape’s office, and he could travel back and forth between the two frames.

When Ron was gone, Hermione would often pull out his portrait for company and through him, they learnt that there was a rebellion going on at Hogwarts and Ginny lost all her trips to Hogsmeade.

After they narrowly escaped from Godric’s Hollow, Hermione mentioned to Harry they were in the Forest of Dean. PNB’s portrait picked up on that and reported to Snape immediately.

Phineas Nigellus Black is a great supporting character, one of the most interesting Slytherins in the story IMO. He was seen hit by Sirius Black's death rather hard, despite his usual disgruntlement towards him.

“Am I to understand,” said Phineas Nigellus slowly from Harry’s left, “that my great-great-grandson — the last of the Blacks — is dead?” “Yes, Phineas,” said Dumbledore.
“I don’t believe it,” said Phineas brusquely. Harry turned his head in time to see Phineas marching out of his portrait and knew that he had gone to visit his other painting in Grimmauld Place. He would walk, perhaps, from portrait to portrait, calling for Sirius through the house....

To her utter relief, she indeed bumped into somebody rather harshly. Her bag fell down and split.
"I am really sorry, Miss." the young man said in a velvet voice that made Hermione blush.

It fits well with how many of the Ravenclaws are eccentric. In the Middle Ages, knowledge outside of the Bible is considered either mundane or unchristian. Those who pursued knowledge were considered crazy more often than not. It was the scientific revolution that elevated the status of knowledge after all.

Maybe something like wiping out juice she accidentally spilled onto a book?

I'd like to imagine something innocuous, something closer to Lily than Harry. It may be caused by panic, but not something that leaves physical damage or whatsoever.

Lily Evans was depicted to have at least some control of magic. (e.g. getting flowers bloom in the movies) Hermione's control wouldn't have been that good, because there was no Severus Snape who explained and encourage her about magic. On the other hand, it's difficult to imagine her having Harry's emotional outburst moments publicly. Her parents was thinking about her magic rather favorably, so it seems fair to imagine that there was no particularly bad magical incident throughout her childhood, at least from their eyes.

I️ read on here somewhere that muggle borns have squibs in their ancestry and that’s where the magic comes from. Like a recessive gene. I️ like that theory better.

ronin005 1 point

Yeah, but if it works like normal genetic inheritance, it should be fairly rare, shouldn't it? I feel like that the recessive inheritance alone cannot explain the number of muggleborns alive. (But of course magical bloodline might work differently from other genes.)

We aren't told but someone way back did an analysis of how much time Hermione spends with them in each books and as the series goes on she spends less and less time (Voldemort's return marks the point where she doesn't even spend summers anymore), and of the theorized reason is that she can't tell them what she's going through so they're "growing apart" - the more shit goes down, the more she has to filter what she says, and the more she filters the less she has to say to them, which eventually create distance.

ronin005 7 points

Yeah that's a likely interpretation. It may be too melodramatic but assuming her internal struggle her "torn between two worlds" situation would have been a great side story.

ronin005 6 points

Are we ever told what Hermione tells or doesn't tell her parents?

No I don't think so.

Situations could vary from explaining everything and convincing them of the need to relocate (memory charm being used only for additional security) to complete disagreement and/or a surprise attack without consent (which seems to be the movie's take). It's basically left to imagination and interpretation.

Hell, she could even have gone with "everything fine in school, nothing to worry about" from the first year (by not telling about the troll incident) til the end. Though it would have made it difficult to keep up close family relationships.

  • I read a fanfiction where the Deathly Hallows and Horcruxes were introduced a lot earlier (like, Harry's first year). Then I read canon and wondered why Dumbledore was not getting to the point sooner.
  • Dynamics within non-Gryffindor houses being virtually non-existent in canon. Some fanfic authors like to fill the gap which set my expectations.
  • I expected the righthand men of the villains would play a larger role and maybe there would be a bit more illustration of their backgrounds (e.g. Lucius and Bellatrix), while in canon it's basically all about Voldemort.
  • Non-Harry POV being extremely limited in canon. It felt ... stoic compared to fanfics where authors tend to take more liberty. (I think the movies do it to some extent.)

I think influence to my misconceptions (or rather undue expectations) was mostly from Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. I like to think I was fairly good at separating out HPMoR-specific concepts while reading it, but it appears that some things sneaked into my mind.

EDIT: grammar

That's possible. Also, when you're young you heal a lot better and more quickly than when you're older. Maybe age related long sightedness and macular degeneration are harder to magically heal than children's broken bones because older natural healing isn't as effective to start with.

ronin005 4 points

That got me thinking - it sounds like you are alluding that magical healing is more or less limited to enhancing natural healing (in addition to reversing magical effects). It seems to fit nicely with how difficult it is to stop aging.

ronin005 commented on a post in r/harrypotter

Sounds like Reverse by Lady Moonglow in which Hermione is sent to a world where many things appear the same but people's personalities are flipped and the history has been different. Harry is a cold jerk (at least initially), Dumbledore is a totalitarian dictator of Britain, Draco is a warm-hearted nice guy, Tom Riddle is the Light leader of the resistance against Dumbledore's regime.

I take that your issue is that Ravenclaw-ness (whether it's about their supposed virtues or some distinct House cultures) is not featured enough, despite the appearances of several Ravenclaws in (semi-)important roles.

Personally, the Diedam and Grey Lady (and the story of Rowena Ravenclaw) in Deathly Hallows (books) gave me distinct impressions. But it was kind of rushed. It would have been nice if things like them were featured earlier as an undercurrent to the main story.

My headcanon is that spells with a narrower scope are easier to cast and more reliable than all-purpose ones, because the additional control that would be otherwise required is "embedded" in those specialized spells.

Drajons 1 point

If you watch the full scene, Hermione says she's already tried a few simple spells which all worked for her, "for example, Oculus Reparo". She had already used Reparo before.

ronin005 1 point

Of course, but had she mastered it completely? It seems like learning a spell is a gradual process. (like Patronus which occasionally fails by someone who has successfully casted it multiple times)

ronin005 commented on a post in r/harrypotter

Reading the books narrative, Hermione does seem to be getting less credit than she should be from people like Dumbledore and McGonagall. However, the perception could be from the usual bias from Harry's POV. Things could have happened off camera. I'm fairly certain that she would have received some favorable recognition privately.

Does she deserve more appreciation from the two boys - IMO, yes, a bit more. The reservation is that, well, it's a team effort and they can celebrate together rather than deciding who did the largest amount of work. In a meta level, it might be Rowling wanting to avoid romance situations in the early books. A repeated "thank you you are amazing Hermione" from Harry and Ron could easily turn the plot into a direction that is a distraction against Rowling's bigger plan.

The whole concept of a magical core that gets depleted as you cast spells is not explored in canon. People get tired in drawn out fights, but there's no reason to think that isn't from adrenaline and running around. Anyway, plenty of fics deal with this, many older than HPMOR.

I've never read a fic that did the Theory of Potions the exact same way, and of the few I've read that had a similar idea, I don't know if any came before HPMOR or not. So that's a maybe.

A super competent good guy named David Monroe who is actually Voldemort is a reference to another fic (A Black Comedy by nonjon, which I cannot recommend enough).

ronin005 3 points

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.

The whole concept of a magical core that gets depleted as you cast spells is not explored in canon.

Interesting. I suppose it is about the exhaustion of magic mentioned in multiple battle chapters? Although HPMOR didn't use the term magical core as far as I can see, the idea does seem to be the same.

Tonks was a seventh year when Harry came to Hogwarts

That's in RowlingCanon, according to her timelines, it's just she didn't invent the character until she started writing the 5th book.

HPMOR, being written well after all 7 originals were published, has the advantage of being able to introduce spells (sectumsempra, avada kedavra), characters (Tonks, Moody, Lupin, Lucius), and concepts (Divination, Horcruxes) at any point in the timeline.

ronin005 6 points

Really? hp-lexicon seems to say it was a miss.

After leaving Hogwarts in the summer of 1991, Tonks had to undergo an additional three years of training to become an Auror, only qualifying in the summer of 1994.
