Harry Potter: 10 Smartest Hermione Granger Moments
4. When She Escaped From The Lovegoods’ House With Harry And Ron – The Deathly Hallows
With the prospect of being caught by a group of Snatchers and Death Eaters, Hermione managed to escape the Lovegoods’ house with remarkable efficiency and intellect.
Instead of hiding Harry under the Invisibility Cloak, she instead persuaded Ron to wear it. Though this seemed strange at the time, it was actually a very smart thing to do. By allowing the Death Eaters to glimpse Harry, Hermione proved Xenophilius wasn’t lying, which in turn meant Luna wouldn’t be harmed.
Moreover, given Ron was supposedly ill at the Burrow with spattergroit, placing him under the Invisibility Cloak meant his cover story remained intact.
As powerful as Hermione was when it came to magical power, the trio’s escape from the Lovegoods’ house was a great example of her ability to think rationally in pressured situations.
