It's that point in the semester - group project season. You may not be working on potions or enchantments as a part of your final grade, but all of us can relate to the experience of trying to motivate a Ron or appease a Hermione in our efforts to get that A+. Check out this list and see which Harry Potter character you are in a group!

Ron Weasley

Ron is cool to hang out with, but he’s the worst to do group projects with. He will never respond to your group texts until the day something is due. If your project is online, you will never see his face. He Shmoops all of the readings. His catchphrase is “sorry guys, I was sick– what I miss?” He wants to leave the library by 7 because he’s going out with his buddies at 9 and needs to pregame. He’ll crack the best jokes and always bring snacks to study sessions, but when it comes to getting work done, you can’t count on this guy at all. He’ll probably hit you up after the project is done asking to copy your next homework assignment, or because he’s “just wondering what your paper is gonna be about” because he has “like zero idea what to do lol.” Don’t be a Ron.

Harry Potter

Harry is kind of like Ron, but with results. He’s chaos to work with but he always somehow manages to get things done. He won’t answer your group chat for days but the day before your bibliography is due he’ll text back with five more sources than needed, just in case someone else didn’t have theirs. He’ll submit his work to D2L at 11:59pm the day it’s due but it’ll be A-grade material. He definitely looks like he doesn’t have his life together at all (he’ll be rolling into class in the middle of attendance with messy hair, the same shirt on as yesterday, and his half-eaten lunch) but he’s still rocking a 3.5 GPA and offers to pick up extra work for group mates who missed a class or aren’t sure what they’re doing. Basically, you can always count on a Harry, but you will never ever feel secure in doing so.

Luna Lovegood

Luna is that kid who always wants to do something that’s not on the preapproved topic list, and will go out of her way to work alone on it if she can. If she’s forced to actually join your group instead of getting her special topic approved, expect her to show up with a list of unrelated things she wants you guys to cover anyway. If your topic is something to do with a Shakespeare play, she’ll want to write her own play in the style of the bard himself. If it’s a project for Spanish class, she’s composing an original song in Spanish. Yeah, it’s interesting, but you have one week to draw up your presentation and Luna is the only person you know who’s willing to be in the library until one in the morning every night to make it happen. She’s willing to put in the extra work to do something outside of the box, but you’re positive this is only because she never actually sleeps. The upside to this though is that if you have the time and energy to keep up with her, your project will undoubtedly be the coolest in the class, and an A+ is a given.

Draco Malfoy

Rude. Assumes that knowing the professor from another class means he has a good enough rapport to get an A while doing minimal work. Complains about his group members on social media but doesn’t have the nerve to address his issues with them in person. Forgets that he and Hermione are Facebook friends and is mopey all week when she finally calls him out in a comment (and Crabbe and Goyle ‘like’ it).

Hermione Granger

You definitely expected this one, but Hermione is the girl to buddy up with if you want that A grade. If you’re a Luna, she’s the only other kid in class who’s going to be able to keep up with you. All of her sources are scholarly articles. Her D2L forum posts are three pages long. She organizes your group chat and Google Doc the day your project is assigned and expects swift responses to everything. In fact, that’s the only downside to working with a Hermione – she expects everyone else to be on her level, and she’s easily frustrated if you’re not. She will roast you in group evaluations if you’re a Ron or Harry, and if you find out, she expects you not to take it personally. She knows that people line up to work with her because they know she’ll do everything for the project that they don’t, but that doesn’t mean she won’t rat you out to the professor after you’ve handed everything in. Her best partners are Cedrics and Lunas, but only if the Luna can reign herself in enough to be efficient.

Cedric Diggory

Cedric is THE BEST. He’s like Hermione, but more laid back and understanding. Sure, you can copy his notes. You had a rough week and just need someone to cut you some slack. Hate public speaking? He’ll read your slides for you and still give you the due credit for writing them. Can’t meet with the group that day? No biggie, he’ll email you a few hours later and catch you up on everything you missed. He tutors in his spare time and will definitely hit you up for friendly study sessions weeks after the project is done. He’ll order pizza for your group on long work nights and invite you all to hang out and watch the game with him the next day. He makes friends through group work and he gives everyone high scores on evals whether they did their fair share or not, just because he’s that nice of a guy. Everyone thinks they want to work with a Hermione, but they’re really asking for a Cedric.

Cho Chang

Oh my God, you’ve gotta feel bad for Cho. She’s got good grades but she has not taken any time for herself in weeks. She’s in five clubs and has a golden GPA but is the physical embodiment of stress. She constantly posts memes about being on the verge of a mental breakdown, and if you ask about it she’ll say, “haha, I’m fine,” and then have an existential crisis when she gets back to her dorm. She only comes to the library in her pajamas. She hasn’t done her eyebrows in days. She’ll wind up commiserating with Harry over text and they’ll become best friends. If not for Cedric acting as a buffer Hermione would absolutely reduce her to tears. When Cedric invites everyone to watch the Eagles game in his hall lounge, she’ll text back saying she’s sick and then spend the night huddled up in her dorm watching Stranger Things and eating cake from a mug, because gosh darn it, she needs it. Somehow by the time you guys are ready to present, she’ll show up totally prepared and at ease, but you know she’s spending the next three days making up for lost sleep.

Neville Longbottom

Cho Chang, but without the (albeit fragile) illusion of composure. Is (honestly, unlike Ron) sick a lot and struggles to catch up. Always blowing up the group chat with questions and lives for office hours and extra credit. Will definitely ask Cedric to read his PowerPoint slides for him, because he freezes up when speaking in front of the class. Kind of a mess, but at least he means well.
