It's safe to say that Harry Potter easily became one of the most iconic characters of all time when he defeated Lord Voldemort and saved the wizarding world. As awesome as Harry is, I feel as if Hermione Granger didn't get enough credit for how much she helped Harry throughout the series, especially during "The Deathly Hallows." I can't help but wonder just how far Harry and Ron would have gotten without Hermione's brilliant brain and quick thinking.

Harry and Ron are great, but there's no questioning that Hermione is the best. Here are 11 of the many times I felt Hermione Granger was the real hero of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

1. When she wiped her parent's memories to keep them safe, even though it meant they would forget her.


2. When Ron even admits they "wouldn't last two days without her."

3. When she had hers, Ron's, and Harry's belongings kept in her bag so they could leave right away during Bill and Fleur's wedding.


4. When she realizes Yaxley is apparating with them, so she quickly relocates them somewhere safe.

5. When she puts the protective charms around the campsite they are staying at so nobody will be able to locate them.

6. When she realized the Horcrux was affecting Harry too negatively and she told him to take it off.


7. When she didn't leave with Ron when he asked her to, simply so Harry wouldn't have been alone.


8. When she puts a spell on Harry to make him unrecognizable before they are brought to Malfoy Manor.

9. When she refused to give Bellatrix any information, even as she was being tortured.

10. When she realized that the Deathly Hallows symbol meant something.


11. When she was the best possible friend Harry and Ron could have asked for.

This Is The Revolutionary 'Hamilton' Character You Are, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Raise a glass to the zodiac.

Disney Plus

Millions of musical-lovers around the world rejoiced when "Hamilton," the hip-hop-mixtape-turned-musical harder to get in to than Studio 54, came to Disney Plus.

For those who had the luxury of being able to watch it in person and rewatch it with us mere mortals on our screens, the experience was almost as gripping as sitting feet from Lin-Manuel Miranda himself. From the stunning sets, graceful choreography, witty dialogue, and hauntingly beautiful singing, the experience was one even my musical-averse family felt moved by.

We Asked You How You Felt About Resuming 'Normal' Activities, And Some Of Your Answers Shocked Us

The New York Times asked 511 epidemiologists when they'd feel comfortable doing "normal" activities again, considering COVID-19. We asked our peers the same thing, for science.

Last month, the New York Times surveyed about 500 epidemiologists asking about their comfort level with certain activities once deemed normal — socializing with friends, going to the doctor, bringing in the mail. That's all well and good for the experts, but they are a very niche group, not the majority of the population. What do "normal" people feel safe doing? In certain states, we've seen how comfortable everyone is with everything (looking at you, Florida), but we wanted to know where Odyssey's readers fell on the comfort scale. Are they sticking with the epidemiologists who won't be attending a wedding for another year, or are they storming the sunny beaches as soon as possible?

Keto Is All Fun And Games Until You're Undernourished And Almost Pass Out

Keto is just another extension of diet culture that boasts rapid weight loss, but at a steep price.

There has been a Keto diet craze going around in the past couple of years, with many of its followers claiming significant weight loss. With any new, trendy diet claiming miraculous weight-loss, one starts to wonder what exactly is happening behind the curtain. The keto, or ketogenic, diet is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that claims to help the body shift its fuel source from carbs to fat. In the medical community it has been prescribed to patients with uncontrolled epilepsy to reduce the frequency of seizures, but other than that there is little conclusive evidence to other potential benefits.
