Dec 29, 2019 · Today we’re looking back at all the times Harry Potter proved itself to be a feminist franchise. Because while the movies might deal with the fantastical world of wizardry, the films are also chock-full of feminist moments from both the heroes and the heroines of Hogwarts.

Hermione's muggle parents are far removed from the main action of the story, so it's hard to fault the movies for sidelining Mrs. Granger. What little fans know about the witch's mother includes her full support of her daughter's magical education, which is why it's so heartbreaking to watch Hermione wipe her mom and dad's memories to keep them saf...
Romilda Vane is cast squarely in the "vixen" role in the films. Worse still, she's a vixen who never even speaks. Still, I've got to give her props for going after the boy she wants (even if she essentially tries to drug him) and for fighting alongside her classmates in the Battle of Hogwarts.
In what little screentime she has, Angelina makes a name for herself as a skilled Quidditch player and witch who somehow sees through George Weasley's Peter Pan complex to notice his real value.
10 points to the Hogwarts Herbology professor for not coddling Neville Longbottom in Chamber of Secretsafter he's shocked into a faint by a mandrake.
Pansy simpers after Draco Malfoy, and also evidently goes to class once in a while. She's much nastier and more fun in the books.
Lavender has it real bad for Ron and shows it by being a Stage 5 Clinger. Her role in the movies is to provoke Hermione's jealousy, and she dies at the hands of Fenir Greyback before she can leave her teen obsessions behind.
Poor Katie Bell's most notable scene is the one where she's possessed by a cursed necklace and tossed around like a rag doll by an unseen force. But she's also a chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and a founding member of Dumbledore's Army.
The Hogwarts school nurse is a no-nonsense woman who suffers no fool — least of all sniveling Slytherinfools.
Madame Hooch all but disappears after Sorcerer's Stone, but never forget that she could fly circles around any 17-year-old boy on that Quidditch pitch.
The Grey Lady's story (murdered at the hands of a jilted lover, the Bloody Baron) is an important cautionary tale about toxic masculinity that was unfortunately shortened for pacing purposes. She does provide Harry with her mother's diadem, assisting in the eventual defeat of Lord Voldemort.

Mar 27, 2021 · Harry Potter is different because there are many important women in the series, who pave the way to Harry’s success against Voldemort, and both men and women fight that evil. This article will be divided into three parts.
- Hermione compliments Harry. During the events of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry bravely proclaims that he will be the one to face Snape alone.
- Luna refuses to be quiet. One of my favorite moments of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 film adaptation is when Luna stands up for herself at Hogwarts.
- Fleur shuts down unrealistic male stereotypes. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, following the werewolf attack on Bill Weasley, Molly questions if Fleur will still want to marry him.
- Professor McGonagall argues with her boss like nobody’s business. Professor McGonagall is many things: brave, wise, honest… but “quiet” is not one of her personality traits.
