Harry Potter: Why Did The Horcrux Affect Ron And Harry But Not Hermione? Explored

Pinkvilla 1 year ago

If there's one movie franchise that is loved generation after generation, it's Harry Potter and if you think Hermione isn't your favorite, then you're lying.

Miss Granger is that one character that has been consistent and exceptional throughout the series as she never fails to amaze.

Gryffindor's smartest student is known not just for her intellect but also for her personality, especially when things get tough. Similarly, when Harry and Ron are compelled to confront their inner demons on their hunt for the Horcruxes, Hermione is left untouched. This mystery has intrigued fans for years.

In The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Hermione, Ron, and Harry are forced to leave to get the Horcruxes hidden in different locations. Even after dealing with Harry's insecurities and the authenticity of their mission, the trio managed to stay focused. Although they were handed a fake, they managed to locate Slytherine's real locket which turned out to be indestructible.

Although there is no evident explanation for this, it is believed that Hermione didn't have obvious weaknesses like Harry and Ron, which kept her safe from the locket's powers. While the two boys were doubtful and unprepared from the beginning, Hermione Granger was ready to face anything and everything. The moment she erased her parents' memories, she wanted to commit to the cause.

She knew that sooner or later they would be forced to make a difficult choice. She was even prepared for the Death Eaters at Fleur and Bill's wedding. Her intelligence is what always kept her a step forward from others and for this mission specifically, her weaknesses were not revenant.

The simplest explanation for this was Hermione's mental strength and intelligence. She is not someone the Horcrux could easily manipulate. While she may not have been the chosen one to fight off Voldemort, she surely was the one to think about others before herself.
