Hermione Granger Almost Wasn’t Called Hermione Granger

Harry Potter without Hermione Granger is like a Christmas party without alcohol – a bloody waste of time. But imagine a world where Hermione Granger was actually Hermione Puckle? I know right, it doesn’t bear thinking about.

According to J K Rowling, Puckle was originally her surname but she changed it for something ‘less frivolous’ because it ‘didn’t suit her at all’. We concur, because would Hermione Puckle have punched Draco in the face? Nah.
