Cool.

That's true, I never thought about it that way, but definately true. I've always liked strong female characters who can take care of themselves without always relying on someone else. At the same time she has the ability to accept help when she needs it. Cool!

dats cool!!!

Cool!! Hermione seems a far more believable character than Cinderella to me.

LOL I saw that article yesterday, and I was thinking "No kidding!" teehee Why wait for a prince to save you?

Hermione is a great role model! If you think about the saving herself thing and she is sooo good at school, that it makes other people want to be good at school just like her. (it made me want to be like that anyways.)

yeh i suppose hermoine is a better role model for younger kids, even better since she is young herself

Interesting...

Interesting...The book!Hermione yes she could maybe be that...

I like Hermione way mroe the Cinderella...but then agian Hermione is my favorite character in the book and I never really had a thing for Cinderella. But ya Hermione is my role model. I actually wrote a paper about her for school once...hmm where did I put that....

You better believe Hermione is a better role model than Cinderella. Could you imagine Hermione waiting on anybody hand and foot while patiently enduring their abuse? I don't think so.

I agree! Hermione is quite good girl

Times have changed now.
Women and girls are more independant and realise that if they want something done, they've got to do it themselves.
*has a celebratory dance because of hermione -v- cinderalla news * can i hear a whoop whoop?

Whoop! Whoop! I never compared them in my mind, but it makes sense. Without realizing, kinda anyone who reads Harry Potter is influenced by the characters, and of those characters, Hermione stands as more of a role model than the other characters, (Ron's my favorite though)
Go Hermione!

I read that article. It was quiet sometime back. Go hermione!
Wish this came earlier. I would ave scanned the article. Unfortuantely , i don't have it anymore. Silly me...

quite a good girl? i think she's perfect a better role model than cinderella for sure! hermione is my best character in the book.. my sister sometimes calls me hermione because my hair is sometimes a bit bushy

I think Hermione is a great role model. She's smart and can stand up for herself. She's a strong person of course she's a great role model.

tania*

cool! i can see her logic! i never really did like cinderella anyway! i liked sleeping beauty better! but anywayz... hermione is smart and an exelent role model for girls everywhere!

I personally think cinderella was never meant to be a role model for girls...it's just a fairy tale....on the other hand hermione is totally different....theyve made out as if saving is the sole important thing in the world...but i think besides that hermione is a sensitive girl she realises things better emotionally as compared to ron and harry...shes good at studies too...but i still cant think of her becoming a role model.....

i didnt noe tat cinderella was a role model? wat did she do tat made her become a role model? i tink hermione is a great example for a role model. shes smart and got good friends.

So ture!!

Actually, she does do that with Harry, in a way. She's not as girl power as some would have you believe. She's always there for Harry and gives him the solutions to a lot of his problems yet a lot of the time he doesn't appreciate her and is sometimes ungreatful of just how wonderful she is to him.

WOW, Thats wicked

wow... Hermoine a role-model.. no surprise there
