Top 10 Girlboss moments in HP!
Hermione putting Rita Skeeter in a jar (she was right to do that fight me)
Hermione blackmailing Rita into writing an interview with Harry where he explains his version of what happened to Cedric, making her publish it in The Quibbler with Luna's complicity, and organising The Hogwarts Resistance against Umbridge
Hermione time-travelling daily for the sole purpose of following more classes than was possible in a singular day (insane, so real), and basically saving Sirius's life
Hermione slapping Malfoy for insulting Hagrid, on the same day she quit Divination class for being lame and useless
Hermione figuring out that the Chamber of Secrets's monster was a Basilisk, and also Hermione figuring out that Lupin was a werewolf, and also Hermione figuring out Snape's riddle, and also Hermione figuring out that Prince was a last name and related to Eileen Prince,…
Ginny realising that she could have gone to the Yule Ball with Harry (since he didn't have anyone at this point to go with), but not saying anything because she had already said yes to Neville; similarly, Ginny defending Luna!
Ginny telling Ron to fuck aalllll the way off with his attitude re: her romantic relationships
Molly straight up murdering Bellatrix for threatening her daughter
McGonagall's "have a biscuit, Potter" moment
Lily standing up to both James AND Snape and not forgiving Snape when he was racist to her. Lily in general really - without her Harry would be dead, there wouldn't be a story!
Bonus that is a bit lowkey but a personal favourite: Helga Hufflepuff, according to the Sorting Hat, was the only one of the Hogwarts Founders who was willing to teach magic to any kid without condition ("i'll take the lot and teach them all the same", paraphrasing one of the song, i forget which one it is). Helga basically invented the concept of the republican, universal school, in the middle of the dark ages. I really love her for that.
