Interviewer: Hello! How are you?
Hermione: I'm fine, and yourself?
Interviewer: Very good, thanks. So Hermione, you were raised by Muggles. When you found out that you are a witch, was this a shock? Were you happy?
Hermione: Well, I was very surprised when I received the letter, but very excited. It all sounded so interesting, so I went to buy my schoolbooks right away, and I memorized them. I found out everything I could about the wizarding world.
Interviewer: What was your first impression of Hogwarts?
Hermione: Well, I'd already read all about it in Hogwarts: A History, but seeing it in real life is so different than reading the books. It was absolutely beautiful.
Interviewer: I heard you are excellent at all your subjects. Which do you like the best?
Hermione: Oh, I love them all! They are all so interesting, and I love every one of them! But if I had to pick a favorite, I'd probably say Arithmancy. It's so fascinating!
Interviewer: Who is your absolute favorite teacher?
Hermione: Oh, I don't know. I guess I'd have to say Professor Lupin. He was a fabulous teacher, he did his job so wonderfully. It's really too bad he resigned.
Interviewer: When you first figured out he was a werewolf, were you scared? Shocked?
Hermione: Well, I was shocked that I didn't see it earlier. I wasn't very frightened, because I trusted him, and if Dumbledore thought it was okay for him to teach even in his condition, then I thought he must be.
Interviewer: How do you think you've changed from your first year to your last year at Hogwarts school?
Hermione: Well, when I first started, I thought that everything I needed would be in the books. If I was ever unsure of anything all I'd have to do was look it up at the Library. But I learned that there is more to being a great witch than knowing everything about the wizarding world, though that is quite important still, but it is more about friendship and love, and these are things you can't learn about from books.
Interviewer: I know that you and a girl named Luna Lovegood had originally not taken much liking to each other. But you two seem to have grown much closer. Why do you think you disliked her originally? Why do you think you've grown closer?
Hermione: Well, I didn't like her at all at first. I thought she was just a completely gullible and senseless fool. But she is very kind, very gentle, and is always there to help you out when nobody else is.
Interviewer: But you still think she's gullible?
Hermione: Yes, there's no doubt about that.
Interviewer: Alright, well thank you for talking to us.
Hermione: Of course!
