Why Did Hermione Erase Herself From Her Parents' Memories?
AsHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Princecomes to an end, it is clear that Voldemort is growing stronger.
As Harry, Ron and Hermione race against time and evil to destroy the Horcruxes, they uncover the existence of the three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows.
Nowhere in England is safe as Voldemort’s power and influence continue to grow.
It was clear to Hermione that she had to make a difficult choice.
She could just leave England to ensure her safety.
But she sees that both Harry and Ron need her.
It is clear to her that defeating Voldemort is impossible without her help.
The series is currently looking for writers to tell the story of the boy wizard.
As Voldemort’s power grows, so does his threat to Muggle and Muggle-born witches and wizards.
Hermione has to face the terrifying reality that her parents are not safe from Voldemort.
She cannot bear the thought of putting them in danger because of her own choices.
At this moment Hermione could have simply left.
She knows that her parents cannot stop her.
They need a reason to leave England and no reason to stay.
If Hermione had wanted to solely focus on saving the world, she could have just left.
Why Is Hermione ErasingHerself From Her Parents' Memories Brave?
K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, family ties are one of the most important kinds of bonds.
Family is also the place where people can go for help and support, especially during challenging times.
We see this exemplified in theWeasley family,who are always there for each other.
Family also serves as an anchor.
The Weasley Family also demonstrates how chosen families can be just as impactful as biological ones.
Yet,Hermione cannot depend on her parents in the same way that Ron can depend on his.
Molly herself facesBellatrix(Helena Bonham Carter) to protect her daughter Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright).
Hermione knows that her parents cannot defend her from the same dangers.
Hermione has an unwavering dedication to those she loves and a deep commitmentto fight against injustice.
Hermione’s choice reminds us that sometimes we must make painful decisions to protect those we love.
And in the end, the pain is worth it.
Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley reach their goal and theDark Lord is defeated.
Hermione lives to tell the tale.
They have the chance to witness Hermione’s growth and probably even get to meet their adorable grandkids.
This bold move pays off, resulting in a happy ending.
