10 Dumbest Things In Harry Potter And The Cursed Child

10. Hermione Is Minister For Magic

Hermione Granger is one of J.K. Rowling’s greatest creations. She’s intelligent, hardworking, and undergoes a considerable change throughout her time at Hogwarts.

As brilliant as Hermione is, she’s an odd choice for Minister for Magic. In the early chapters of The Deathly Hallows, she quickly shoots down Rufus Scrimgeour’s suggestion that she should consider a role at the Ministry. Indeed, she responds by saying she ‘wants to do some good in the world’.

As such, it seems strange that she would change her mind and pursue a career as a politician. Given her exceptional talent, Hermione is more than capable of taking on a multitude of roles in the Wizarding World.

It was simply a wasted opportunity to not give her a more interesting profession.
