Today J dives into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to talk about a character we all love, Hermione Granger. Her academic brilliance, her bravery, her books and cleverness, but there’s one part of her life that remains a complete mystery: her parents. Why do we never see them? Why does Hermione spend so little time at home? And could her strange absence from family life actually explain deeper parts of her personality, like her boggart, her struggles with the Patronus, and her passion for house-elf rights?
