Assignment 22: Fictional Character, Fictional Life - Amanda Byerman

If I could choose to be any fictional character, I would want to be Hermione Granger (basic, I know). Hermione has inspired me since I was about 10 years old, and has encouraged me to enjoy my passions and to pursue opportunities which I wouldn't have had the courage to before. Sure, I may admire Hermione, you may ask, but why would I want to be her? For one, her unparalleled intelligence and her courage to show it. I could love to be able to be so fearless in simply being myself, even with suffering the incredible process it took for her to get there. I would also love to be her for the incredible experiences she is able to have at Hogwarts- to live in a world so filled with adventure and literal magic. I am incredibly jealous of the friendship and love she experiences as a part of her tight-knit friend group with Ron and Harry, along with the rest of the Hogwarts crew.
