Can you tell the difference between J.K. and her most famous female character?

Who Said It: J.K. Rowling Or Hermione Granger?

From the excellent 2007 documentary [J.K. Rowling: A Year In The Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxJVz2XI_9o).

Correct answer: J.K. Rowling

J.K. admitted this at the [2012 Cheltenham Literature Festival](https://www.waterstones.com/blog/i-do-have-a-tendency-to-walk-on-the-dark-side-sometimes).

No, this isn't a quote about J.K.'s writing process, it's from _Order of the Phoenix_.

Correct answer: Hermione

Hermione came out with this truly excellent boast towards the end of _Deathly Hallows Part 1_.

From her [2008 commencement address to new Harvard University students](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2SoSVsaB7Q).

Hermione again, talking about Voldemort in _Chamber of Secrets_.

“Are you planning to follow a career in Magical Law, Miss Granger?” asked Scrimgeour.
“No, I’m not,” retorted Hermione. “I’m hoping to do some good in the world!” - from _Deathly Hallows_.

Another gem from her 2008 Harvard commencement speech, which was titled “The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination.”

Another wonderful quote from [J.K. Rowling: A Year In The Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxJVz2XI_9o).

From the 2011 London premiere of _Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2_ \*wipes away tear\*

There's clearly quite a lot of J.K. Rowling in Hermione (and vice versa) but a Harry Potter fan shouldn't have this much trouble telling them apart. Go back and re-read all seven books, then try again.

You Slytherined that one up.

You did well, but you're no J.K. Rowling expert. You should watch all 59,872 of her TV interviews and then try again.

Not bad, but you're more Hufflepuff than Gryffindor.

Like Hermione, you're a total swot and a bona fide Potter expert. In fact, you know so much about the books and their author that you're - hang on - are you actually J.K. Rowling?

You're cleverer than a herd of Hermiones.
