Description
The four members of this discussion panel invite you to consider with us how the character of Hermione differs from the books to the films, and what is implied – consciously or not – by the specific changes that have been made. By extension, we will also discuss which images and aspects of womanhood and femininity are idealized, challenged or rejected -- both in the Harry Potter world and our own.
