Wand: Vine wood with a dragon heartstring core until it was taken from her by Greyback and his Snatchers after the Trio are captured and taken to Malfoy Manor in ‘Deathly Hallows’. After this, Hermione resorts to and continues to use Bellatrix’s wand, made from walnut and dragon heartstring, a wand with unyielding and temperamental powers.

Career: After Voldemort’s defeat, Hermione worked for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she improved the quality of life for house-elves and other disenfranchised creatures. Later, she started and continued to work for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement where she put an end to pro-pureblood laws.

Patronus: An otter. Hermione learned how to cast a fully-formed Patronus in her fifth year, and was the first to master the advanced spell in Dumbledore’s Army under Harry’s tutelage. It takes the form of an otter. Harry once commented that the Patronus Charm was the only spell Hermione ever had trouble with, perhaps indicating that although she was skilled with the charm, it did not come as easily to her as most other spells. Hermione also mentioned in 1997 that she had been practicing how to use her Patronus for messaging, but it is unknown if she ever actually carried this out.

Boggart: Professor McGonagall telling her she failed all her subjects, failure in general.

Magical Mastery: At Hogwarts, Hermione was usually the first to master any spell, and was capable of using spells beyond her educational level. She earned ten O.W.L.s: nine “Outstandings,” and one “Exceeds Expectations,” in Defence Against the Dark Arts. Harry Potter was the strongest student in that subject, but even Harry acknowledged that Hermione was “the best in our year,” and repeatedly admires her spellwork.

Nonverbal Magic: Hermione became highly skilled at nonverbal magic in her sixth year, being the first to succeed at it in her Defence Against the Dark Arts class and quickly becoming “so good at non-verbal incantations that she did not need to say the words aloud” for a wide variety of spells.

Duelling Skill: Hermione has demonstrated her fighting ability on numerous occasions, showing remarkable duelling skill for her age. Although she was incapacitated relatively early in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Hermione removed two Death Eaters from the fight in that short time, and fully recovered from a potentially fatal curse. By the time she accompanied Ron and Harry on the search for the Horcruxes, her spell-work was swifter than opponents such as Mundungus Fletcher and at least two Death Eaters. She defeated Antonin Dolohov and Gregory Goyle, defended Harry from Nagini, repelled Yaxley when he forcibly Disapparated with her, and blasted Fenrir Greyback away from an injured Lavender Brown. She also held her own against Bellatrix Lestrange, despite being handicapped by using Bellatrix’s own wand against her. Hermione also had very fast reflexes when it came to wandwork; for instance, she drew her wand and placed a Shield Charm between Harry and Ron when they were quarrelling before either of them could even draw their wands in 1997, and when the trio was spotted by Death Eaters during the Battle of Hogwarts, she was the first to react, sending them to safety. Hermione was also able to magically manipulate objects around herself to incapacitate or evade others. Her duelling style is creative and unpredictable, mixing non-combat spells along with more conventional combative spells to overcome her opponents. She was also one of the very first people in the sixth year to master non-verbal spells.

Charms Expert: Until she began studying Arithmancy in her third year, Hermione’s favourite subject was Charms, in which she achieved an “Outstanding” O.W.L.. It was also revealed that she received a hundred and twelve percent in her first year Charms Exam. Her array of protective charms defended her, Harry, and Ron for almost a year while they were searching for Voldemort’s Horcruxes. This is impressive, considering that far more experienced wizards were captured within months. She also enchanted her small handbag with an Undetectable Extension Charm to allow her to carry more items in the bag than physically allowed, which allowed her, Harry and Ron to survive the months spent out in the open. Hermione also managed to cast the Memory Charm successfully multiple times after having only read the theory behind it, although even very powerful wizards such as Barty Crouch Sr. have difficulty with it when they have not been trained. Hermione’s Memory Charms on Antonin Dolohov and Thorfinn Rowle held even when they were subjected to the Cruciatus Curse.

Skilled Potioneer: Hermione was able to brew Polyjuice Potion, an advanced and difficult potion, in only her second year for her, Harry and Ron to find the truth about the Chamber of Secrets from Draco Malfoy by disguising themselves as his friends. She achieved an “Outstanding” on her Potions O.W.L. and is able to identify potions and their effects quickly after having only read about them.

Transfiguration Adept: Hermione seems to be particularly talented at Transfiguration. She was the first in her class to succeed at transfiguring a match into a needle in her first lesson, and long before any of the other students and earned an “Outstanding” in her O.W.L. in the subject. Hermione is very skilled at conjuration, an advanced type of transfiguration; for example, in her sixth year, she was able to conjure and control a flock of canaries, and by the next year, she could conjure a wreath of flowers non-verbally. Harry Potter once noted that Hermione was particularly adept at conjuring Bluebell Flames.

Apparition: Hermione was the first in her class to Apparate successfully, and passed her test on the first attempt. According to Ron, her performance was “perfect” and the instructor praised her talent greatly. While on the hunt for the Horcruxes with Harry and Ron, Hermione frequently Apparated and Disapparated the three of them, twice when they were falling through the air.
