Hermione Granger
Policy Analyst & Magical Reform Advocate

"We wouldn't have survived first year without Hermione, let alone everything after. She figured out the basilisk when the entire school couldn't. She brewed Polyjuice Potion at age twelve. She kept us alive in a forest for months with nothing but a beaded bag and sheer force of will. She is the smartest person I have ever met, and I've met Dumbledore. The only criticism I'd offer is that she is ALWAYS right, and she will ALWAYS remind you of this. But she's earned it. Honestly, she's earned all of it."

"Hermione is brilliant. Like, properly brilliant. Scary brilliant. She reads books for fun. Multiple books. At the same time. She once corrected a professor — IN FRONT OF THE CLASS — and the professor thanked her for it. She keeps our entire household organized with color-coded systems that I don't fully understand but am afraid to disturb. As a colleague, she will outwork everyone. As a boss, she will set expectations so high that you'll either become the best version of yourself or cry. Often both. I love her. She terrifies me. Both statements are true."

"In forty years of teaching, I have never encountered a student with Miss Granger's combination of intellect, work ethic, and moral conviction. She earned every grade, every honor, and every ounce of respect her peers gave her. She also earned several detentions, which she served with the same thoroughness she applies to everything else. I endorsed her for the Ministry position without hesitation. The Ministry does not deserve her, but she will improve it regardless. That is what Hermione Granger does — she improves things, whether they asked to be improved or not."

143 from alternate timelines where she took Ancient Runes AND Arithmancy AND Muggle Studies simultaneously. 12 from a timeline where she also audited Divination just to prove Trelawney wrong with data.

Includes 67 endorsements from a timeline where she became Minister for Magic at age 29. She endorsed herself from that timeline 'as a professional courtesy.'

The highest count of any skill, because every version of Hermione across every timeline endorsed this one. Three versions endorsed it twice by accident, creating a paradox that the Department of Mysteries is still investigating.

94 from a timeline where she apprenticed under Snape. She describes that timeline as 'academically productive but emotionally violent.' Snape's endorsement reads: 'Adequate.' She framed it.

Includes endorsements from 3 timelines where S.P.E.W. became a global movement. In one of those timelines, house-elves unionized and Dobby became Secretary-General of the United Magical Nations.

58 from a timeline where she taught Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. Students described the class as 'rigorous, terrifying, and graded on a curve that only Hermione could pass.'

Every single version of Hermione across every known timeline endorsed this. The only skill with unanimous cross-temporal consensus. One timeline's Hermione left a note: 'I told you so — sincerely, all of us.'

Includes 1 endorsement from Lucius Malfoy, which Hermione has tried to remove 14 times. LinkedIn says it's 'technically valid.' He endorsed her during the Battle of Hogwarts when her strategy directly led to his family switching sides. He calls it 'professional courtesy.' She calls it 'an insult wrapped in a compliment wrapped in a LinkedIn notification I cannot turn off.' (Yes, u/MattCarafelli — I told you this was here. You just had to scroll past the skills section. Now you've found it. Tell no one.)

All three endorsements are from a single timeline where Hermione took a gap year. She spent it writing a 900-page comparative analysis of Muggle and magical tax law. She described it as 'very refreshing.'
