My favourite character

My favourite character is Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born witch from the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling.

She's Harry Potter's friend and if she hadn’t been there for Harry from the beginning, he probably would’ve died in his first year at Hogwarts.

I like Hermione because she shows us that it is great to be smart and a bookworm. She is intelligent, brave, loyal and strong, just like a Gryffindor should be. In a way she is stronger than Harry: she is better with her wand and knows all the spells.

I like that she isn't shown as a "perfect" girl - that would have been boring and unbelievable. Hernione sometimes breaks rules, she can be a telltale and a show-off . She can be awkward at some times but that's what makes me love her even more.

To me Hermione is the best character in the Harry Potter universe.

It was eight o'clock in the morning and time for me to go to work. I (looked) out of the window. It (was raining) hard. «You (will get) wet through if you (go) out now,» said my mother. «No, I...,» I answered, «I (will take) an umbrella.» We (had) five umbrellas in the house, but when I (wanted) to take one, I (found) that there (was) not one that I could use: they all (were) torn or broken. So I (took) them all and (carried) them to the umbrella-maker, saying that I would call for the umbrellas on my way home in the evening. When I (went) to have lunch in the afternoon, it still (was raining) very hard. I (went) to the nearest cafe, and (sat) down at a table. A few minutes later a young woman (came) in and (sat) down at the same table with me. When I (finished) my lunch and (was) ready to leave, I absent-mindedly (took) her umbrella and (started) for the exit. She (stopped) me saying that I (had taken) her umbrella. I (returned) the umbrella with many apologies. In the evening I (went) to the umbrella-maker, (took) my five umbrellas and (got) on the tram to go home. It so happened that the woman I (had met) at the cafe (was riding) in the same tram. When she (saw) me with my five umbrellas, she (said): «You (have had) a successful day today, (haven't) you?»
