QUOTE(roonwit @ Aug 17 2008, 04:57 PM)  It wasn't throughout the series. Actually Hermione first went to the burrow in GoF for about a week, and was next there in HBP, albeit for most of the summer. I imagine her parents were still a bit cautious, but I do think they knew the Weasleys reasonably well by that stage, and would be reassured that Hermione was sharing a room with the Weasley's own daughter.
I agree. The first time Hermione stayed at the Burrow was in GoF, so she could go to the Quidditch World Cup with the Weasleys and Harry. Then, in OotP they were- of course- at Grimmauld Place.
I agree with Roonwit. I think that by Goblet of Fire (which is, of course, their fourth year) then the Grangers and the Weasleys know each other pretty well. They were introduced for the first time in CoS at Gringotts, if I remember rightly.

Like many said before me she was there first when in GoF, and that was for a special occation, Hermione wouldn't have been able to go to the world cup if it wasn't going with the Weasleys
Then it was in OotP(I know this was at Grimmauld place, but basically the same, she's staying with the weasleys), keep in mind this was right after Voldy came back, it was a very tense situation, the darkest wizard of all time (who BTW is out to get Hermiones best friend) has just been resurected, he still has loyal followers, and no one knows where he is, or what he's planning to do... The Grangers must want to keep Hermione safe, so it's understandable they want her as protected as possible, and knowing they got nothing on a wizard, the safest bet is with the Order.
Next was HBP, now she's much older, and perhaps even more reason to keep her away from a house full of guys?  I think this also has a lot to do with Voldemort, and them wanting her to be protected.
I also think the fact that Hermione is a responsible and mature person was important for them to let her stay there. And The WEasleys and Grangers has probably been more in touch with each other than we see, seeing how close their children are.

QUOTE(doralupin @ Aug 18 2008, 10:55 AM) I also think that Hermione would not just say to her parents, hey mom and dad I am heading to the Weasley's for the summer. I am sure for the World Cup, Arthur probably paid them a visit as he did the Dursleys. For OoP, I could see DD himself going to the Grangers and explaining there was danger and he wanted Hermione to be somewhere she was better protected. That rationale would also apply for HBP.
I like your explanation. It makes sense when you mention the higher level of protection they would all have at the Burrow. I don't see the number of boys in the family as being a problem or source of worry for Hermione's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are in control and the boys have all been perfectly well mannered, friendly and respectful to Hermione. They are under more scrutiny in the Burrow than at Hogwarts where students can "get lost" in many secret passages. No, I think that Hermione's parents trust her judgement and they absolutely trust the Weasleys.
QUOTE(chelsie @ Aug 18 2008, 12:37 PM) I do not like the Weasleys. It's disappointing that we were force fed this god awful family. You mean to say Harry couldn't have dropped by Hermione's to hang out with her? Or vice-versa?
I don't think the Dursleys would have allowed Harry any visitors, even Muggle ones. They don't even want him to receive telephone calls for goodness sake! Do you really think they would have allowed Harry to go visit Hermione and have fun. Not to mention that Hermione's house does not have any magical protection. Just about every time that Harry left before classes started he had to do it without their explicit permission. It was only in the first book that Mr. Dursley took him to the station and then abandoned him at the entrance. The other times he had to be rescued by Wizards.
Also, why don't you like the Weasleys? In what way are they "god awful"? In my opinion, they have been the only source of family love that Harry has known, excepting Sirius of course.

QUOTE Didn't Hermiones parents meet the Weasleys in Chamber of Secrets, when they bought school books?
Yes they did. And from what I read I think the Grangers would trust the Weasleys very much. And because they met the Weasleys it means that they didn't just send Hermione off to some family that they knew nothing about. I believe that the Granger's trusted Hermione's judgment, so they trusted the Weasleys.
QUOTE I do not like the Weasleys. It's disappointing that we were force fed this god awful family. You mean to say Harry couldn't have dropped by Hermione's to hang out with her? Or vice-versa?
You must have some personal vendetta against the Weasleys. For one thing the Weasleys are 100% Wizard which allows us to see a family full of wizards. They are caring and loving and they can protect Harry and Hermione better than their respective families.
