In this analysis, I place an emphasis on two of the female characters in the book series, Hermione Granger and Minerva McGonagall or Professor McGonagall. Although Professor McGonagall and Hermione are fantasy creatures of the wizarding world, their characters represent so much more than just women of the book series.
