“Not born into magic — yet no one understood it more deeply or used it more responsibly.”
She casts any spell correctly on the first attempt. Particularly masterful with Obliviate (memory erasure) and Stupefy.
Solves puzzles that can't be cracked by magic alone. The poison-bottle logic puzzle in Philosopher's Stone is the definitive example.

A perfectionist who will still break the rules for her friends. Realistically, she solves more crises than any other character in the series.
