After class, a particularly annoyed Ron Weasley insulted Hermione to his friend Harry Potter by remarking that she was a "nightmare" wh...
The Hallowe'en feast
As the students were attending the Hallowe'en Feast, Professor Quirrell suddenly sprinted into the Great Hall frantically with a terrified expression over to the teacher's table, warning Albus Dumbledore of a troll that had been let into the dungeonsbefore collapsing on the floor. The whole student body then began to panic in an uproar, with Headmaster Dumbledore having to first silence them all with Purple Firecrackers before telling the Prefects to take the students back to their dormitorie...
Attack in the girls' bathroom

They then noticed the troll lurking about the corridor and unknowingly locked the troll in the girls bathroom with Hermione. Realising their mistake, they ran in to rescue a terrified Hermione.

- ROWLING AND HARRY SHARE A BIRTHDAY. They both blow out candles on July 31 (happy birthday, JKR!). And that’s not the only influence Rowling had on her characters: She’s said that Hermione is a bit like her when she was younger, and her favorite animal is an otter—which is, of course, Hermione’s patronus.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince One summer night, when Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he will not reveal why. Rumours and suspicion spread through the wizarding world – it feels as if even Hogwarts itself might be under threat.
