Hermione was noted for being extremely intelligent and hard-working, coming out on top in most of her classes and continuously aiding Harry and Ron in their adventures. She was so studious that the school gave her a [[Time-Turner]] in her third year, a device that rewinds time so that she could take extra courses.<ref name="POA" /> Because of her efficiency, she often had time to do hobby work on the side, such as preparing a defence for [[Buckbeak]] to save him from execution, and creating [[Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare|S.P.E.W.]], an organisation promoting the freedom of [[House-elf|house-elves]].<ref name="GOF" /> Such acts demonstrate Hermione's social conscience, tenacity, and compassion.

Unlike most wizards who depended solely on their magical ability, Hermione readily relied on logic. Although this often helped her cleverly deduce information that many others missed, such as [[Remus Lupin]]'s [[Werewolf|lycanthropy]],<ref name="POA" /> Hermione's emphasis on logic also made her sceptical about accepting anything without proof, as opposed to Harry who would come to intuitive conclusions. For example, she completely dismissed the idea of the [[Deathly Hallows]], refusing to believe in them without physical evidence.<ref name="DH" />

Because of her opinionated, interfering nature, Hermione had the reputation for being a bossy know-it-all.

She did not let anyone bully her about this, however, and ignored bigots like [[Draco Malfoy]].
