Gifted for Leadership, an online community of Christian Women, has made up a list of 5 (un)Real Role Models and Harry Potter character Hermione Granger is included!

Hermione Granger (from the Harry Potter book series)”Through the ups and downs of life as a ‘muggle’� in a wizard’s world, this feisty adolescent exemplifies what it looks like to be courageously loyal. Hermione shows us that loyalty to our friends and loved ones doesn’t mean backing down or going along” it means speaking one’s mind, sticking it out through arguments and misunderstandings, and if needed putting one’s life and limb on the line.

It has been announced that JK Rowling will be writing a “storycard” for the “What’s Your Story?” auction on June 10th. The money raised will go to the English PEN and Dyslexia Action charities.

It has also been  announced that the stories (by 13 authors) will go on sale to the public later in the summer. They will be in a book of postcards and proceeds will also be given to the charities above.

Thanks Mugglenet!
