Through out the Harry Potter series, and in fact from the very beginning, we see Hermione as a smart, brilliant witch. She has the answer to most everything, and on the rare occasion that she doesnt, she at least knows where to look. But, much of Hermione's knowledge and wisdom comes from books. She has read a lot of books, knows spells, history and the people of the wizarding world before the Hogwarts Express even reaches the school in their first year.
 When Hermione is shaken or challenged, she falls back on her books, she leans on her books for support, when she wants to confront she uses books, she even hides behind books.  So how do you think this rational, logical individual reacted to something completely unexpected and unthinkable? How could she possibly have prepared for learning *You're a witch, Hermione*? Although it's probable that, as a muggle bookworm, she would have read muggle books about witches and wizards and sorcery, it's unlikely that she would have been expecting a letter announcing that not only she's a witch but there's a whole world out there, full of magical people, places and creatures. And, that she's going to be away from home for a year in this new world, as a witch.  She wouldnt have been able to find her answers in books, and nothing could have prepared her for this news, coming from a non-Magical family. So what do you think her initial thoughts would have been? How did she react to being informed that she is a witch?  You can vote for more than one option and, please share your thoughts about how Hermione would have taken the news. Thanks to DorisTLC and rowena r for contributing ideas.
