Help[Opinions] Re: Hermione
in reply to a message by CherryFrog
I love Hermione as well... and have the same fears about Harry Potter as you do. I also thought like you... thought it was awkward and kind of geeky (Kind of like Hermione Granger, huh?), but not I love it (much as I, and so many others across the globe love Miss Granger). I think the verdict is yet to be decided if there will be a huge surge of Harry Potter babies... i guess we'll have to wait til todays younger generation procreates.
But I also must say, of all the Potter names, I think Hermione is the best :)
Edited to add this thought: Do they use the same names for characters in all the various translations world wide? I was just thinking it might be quite difficult to translate Hermione or Ginerva into Chinese and such. Hmmm...
Your eyes, your smile, made my little life worthwhile. The sky was a lot more blue when I was on top of you.

I wouldn't bet on it
The kind of fanaticism over a fantasy book or book series that Harry Potter has inspired is a once-in-a-generation phenomenon. The only other book/series to have inspired such a frenzy is The Lord of the Rings. Despite the amount of time that has passed since LotR was published, it's still as popular as ever - perhaps even more so.
I believe it will be at least 100 years before people no longer automatically associate Hermione with Harry Potter. I could be underestimating, though. The series will be very popular for a very long time.

Yes, like some people still associate Alice with Alice in Wonderland, and that was written over 100 years ago.
