Hermione Granger’s Learning Styles
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Hermione Granger says “Actually I’m highly logical which allows me to look past extraneous detail and perceive clearly that others overlook.” (Deathly Hallows Part 1) Each individual learns in a unique way; Hermione is one of those individuals. As depicted in the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, Hermione Granger is unique in the sense that she is an independent, rational, and verbal learner.
According to Kathleen T. McWhorter, learners that are independent prefer to work and study alone. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Hermione is very independent with school work, magic, and studying.

I’ve been using it all year to get to all of my lessons. I’ve been turning it back so I could do hours over again, that’s how I’ve been doing several lessons at once.” (Rowling …show more content…
In order for her to come to that conclusion, she read a lot of written text that she was given and from Snape’s lecture, once again showing that Hermione is a verbal learner because she relies on textual information instead of visual information. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Hermione receives an original copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard that includes a strange mark on the inside cover. While she reads the book, she begins to make connections between the mark inside it and the symbols seen on the headstones at Godric’s Hollow and on Xenophilius Lovegood’s necklace. This is shown when she says “It’s that mark, the mark in Beedle the Bard. Look at this!” (Rowling 594). Most importantly, this shows that Hermione is a verbal learner by extensively reading the book so she could process the information he was trying to tell them about the Deathly
