Hermione's parents are dentists. WEEK 3!

So I was going to write about a holiday. But then I didn't. I don't know what my favorite holiday is.....Most would expect me to say Eid. But seriously, EID IS SO BORING FOR ME. Don't get me wrong, I love the meaning of the holiday and why it's celebrating, but all my family does on Eid is go to the prayer in the morning, come home, eat and um yeah that's it. Oh, and everyone goes to sleep......fun. We would attempt to do something with the whole family (like go see a movie or go out to eat) but it usually fails or ends up being boring. And I'm not writing about Ramadan, because is that a holiday? I mean it's a whole month. Besides, I couldn't find any articles about it. And for all the other holidays...sorry. 

 So, I will write about Harry Potter. Because I guess that's my favorite movie? Movies? Movie series? Whatever.

SPOILER ALERT

The article:

Valentine's Day at Hogwarts by Wind Goodfriend

This article claims that the attachment theory of love is present in the Harry Potter series.  The attachment theory was proposed by John Bowlby, who says that if children are separated from their parents at a young age, their romantic relationships will suck in the future. There are three different attachment styles and apparently they're noticeable in the three main characters: Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Mr. & Mrs. Granger

Hermione exemplifies the "secure" style of attachment. She grew up with completely normal parents that provided everything necessary for her, including support. Her relationship with her parents was steady and mutual. they were dentists in the muggle world and did not fully understand the complexities of the magical world. Despite this, they support their daughter and her desires. (Even though it's completely abnormal for parents to let their child go to a magical school. That never happens. Also, Hermione rarely even sees her parents after Hogwarts comes along! WHAT!? And, she makes them forget they ever had a daughter! [Okay, she had to do that one, which was pretty sad so nevermind]) This attachment style resulted in a gifted, perfect, Gryffindor Hermione, who shows generosity and social confidence. When Ron fails to ask her to the Yule ball in book 4, she moves on to the next one (Krum), not wasting her time waiting on something that will never come. Hermione and Ron's relationship remains one of cute bickering throughout majority of the series. It's obvious they are made for each other, but Ron Weasley is an idiot. When he starts dating Lavender Brown in book 6, Hermione is crushed. She tries to make Ron jealous by going out with McLaggen, a boy on the Quidditch team who fancies Hermione. It worked. Clever isn't she? So we all know (hopefully) that in the end the two of them realize they love each other, get married and have kids and YAY THE END. All of that, my fellow HP fans, is because Hermione's parents were dentists.
