Top 10 Young Adult Heroines in the Last Decade

[tps_title]07. Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

(2005) (2007)

Does this even need an explanation?

These are the only two Harry Potter books in the series I can use in this list, and the two that are my absolute favorite. Hermione is a character so equivalent to that of a heroine, I wish I could just list all the reasons in no particular order as to why she should be on any list ever.

If I could put Hermione Granger on my grocery list, I would. Alas, that’s not technically possible. She’s the brains, wit, and fervor that carries the trio through Hogwarts. From the minute she’s on the page, to the end of Deathly Hallows, waving her first child off to their very first year of Hogwarts (next to Ron and Harry, of course), she’s fearless, brave, and altogether a touching heroine without even being the “main character.”

Just watch the attached clip. You won’t regret it.
