Harry Potter: 10 Smartest Hermione Granger Moments
5. When She Successfully Brewed Polyjuice Potion In Her Second Year – The Chamber Of Secrets
The restricted section of the Hogwarts library is normally reserved for students studying advanced Defence Against the Dark Arts. As such, Harry, Ron and Hermione really had no business in being there in their second year.
However, thanks to a written permission form from the moronic Professor Lockhart, the three of them were able to get their hands on the book they needed.
Despite its complexity, Hermione was able to brew the Polyjuice Potion flawlessly whilst in Moaning Myrtle’s Bathroom.
Not only did she use all the ingredients correctly, she was also the mastermind behind the obtaining of the ingredients. In addition to devising a scheme to get hairs from Crabbe and Goyle, Hermione managed to sneak into Snape’s private stores without detection.
Sure, she did accidently put cat hair in her own potion, but aside from that, her brewing of the Polyjuice Potion was one of her finest moments.
