Happy Birthday, Hermione!
Hermione Granger Trivia Quiz
Hello, Harry Potter lovers! Did you drink a glass of butterbeer in honor of Hermione's birthday on September 19? Or maybe it would have been more appropriate to, like, do some extra homework, or read a 4,000-page book in your spare time. Anyway, we love Hermione and we celebrated her with a Hermione Trivia Quiz last week. Here are the answers. Let's see how much you know about the brightest witch of her age.

Here's another one (not from the books but one which every fan has tried to figure out)
Q:What does Hermione's name mean?
or maybe something more from the books
Q:What are the colour of Hermione's robes on Harry's 17th Birthday?
The answer for the first question is that her name is derived from Greek mythology and means traveller (She's Melanius and Helen's daughter. Some say it's derived from Hermes (Greek god of travellers,thieves,messages,etc)
The second answer is periwinkle.
How many of you got these right?
