After an epic showdown filled with fierce competition, unforgettable heroines, and the kind of suspense that would make even the most seasoned reader bite their nails… the final page has turned.
And the winner of our 2025 March Literary Madness: Favorite Female Book Characters bracket is none other than the brightest witch of her age…
That's right! Hermione outsmarted, out-spelled, and outread 15 other incredible contenders to claim her rightful place at the top. With her unshakable intellect, unwavering bravery, and heart of gold, she proved once again why she's a role model for readers everywhere.
From mastering spells before most students even knew how to hold a wand to standing up for house-elf rights (S.P.E.W. forever!) and being the ultimate loyal friend to Harry and Ron, Hermione showed us that kindness is powerful, knowledge is cool, and girls who love books can change the world.
👏 Let's raise our wands (and our books) in honor of Hermione—our champion of courage, cleverness, and compassion!
Until next year's bracket… keep reading, keep dreaming, and remember: when in doubt, go to the library. 📖💫
