Millions of children and youngs of the 1990s and 2000s grew up wishing to receive an owl-mail that delivered their invitation to study magic at Hogwarts, as well as the boy with round glasses and a ray-shaped scar on his forehead. The Harry Potter series tells the story of a boy who discovers to be a wizard and along with his friends tries to defeat the fearsome villain Voldemort, who murdered his parents when he was just a baby. Among the people who combat evil beside the protagonist, one of them stands out to conquer a position in the ranking of fans favoritism in front of Harry himself. Hermione Granger is a Harry‘s classmate, which since the beginning of the saga is characterized by her intelligence and who until the end becomes one of the most important characters in the fight against the Dark Arts. Due to the intense identification of the audience with Hermione, the objective of this work was to investigate the possible representations of the character throughout the Harry Potter series, observing how her performativity of gender constitutes a substantial effect that is her identity. We followed Hermione's ways of acting and relate in four books by the author J.K. Rowling: the first in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2000), the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2001), the series last adventure Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007), as well as the screenplay for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (2016), which tells the story of the characters years later in their adulthood. The theoretical basis of Literary, Cultural and Gender Studies has led to an understanding of how the relations between power and sexual differentiation in witch society works, from the female character of greater relevance in the series. Hermione's subversive identity deconstructs some cultural matrices and urges us to reflect on the gender stereotypes that have so long marked the literature aimed at children and young people.
