How can 'the best witch of her age' help us live more empowered lives? Isn't she, as Snape puts it, just 'an insufferable know-it all'?
Yes she is. Of course she is. But Hermione is so much more than that. It is she, not Harry or Ron, who punches Draco in year 3. It is she who masterminds Dumbledore's army when Harry is a bit too consumed by rage to organise anything.
By comparing Hermione to Percy Weasley, we see her in a new light, and understand the lessons she has to teach us about the necessity of rebellion to our own inner conformity that forbids us to make the courageous, soul-saving changes that we need to.
Despite outward appearances
QUOTE OF THE DAY
... comes from ch 8 of The Chamber of Secrets. We find out that snakeoil sales still exist in the world of Hogwarts. This quote is about the Kwikspell course that Filch the caretaker is interested in.

BONUS: Managing Life's Curveballs with Catherine Rains
An interview that makes no mention of Harry Potter – yes, it’s true! I interview artist Catherine Rains and we discuss nothing to do with the boy wizard. BUT I wanted to bring you this interview because I extracted so much wisdom from it. Catherine is an amazing human being who has just as many life lessons for us as Harry himself.
Find out more about Catherine here https://catherinerains.com/
And on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/catrains.artist/
At the end of the interview, I make some remarks about how what is discussed relates to the world of Hogwarts. In particular
*Catherine’s double pronged non resistance and how we see this in The Deathly Hallows
*The passage from childhood to adulthood
Some highlights from this interview:
How to be unintentionally intentional
The five words anyone can use in a negative situation to feel more empowered
Catherine’s epiphany about non resistance
The non linear nature of change.
How she diverted her energy to sidestep jealousy and intended her way to the job of her dreams
Why affirmations don’t work for so many people - because they are doing this thing alongside the affirmation
Her strategy for releasing fear and dread after her cancer diagnosis (I have never heard this from anyone else)
How she developed compassion for her husband in the midst of her divorce but still shielded herself from his manipulation
Her hilarious way of managing old resentments

The death of Harry’s godfather is in my opinion the biggest blow to Harry of the entire 7 books. Today I ask: what would have happened if Sirius had NOT died? And what lessons do we glean from the tragedy? What would we have lost that is perhaps useful to our own escape from anxiety and depression if The Order Of The Phoenix had not ended the way it did?
Find out in this episode.
