When Looking For A Good Books With Strong Female Characters Check Out The Works Of JK Rowling

By Stephanie Skinner


JK Rowling really seems to understand what motivates humans. She weaves tales that delight people of all ages. She also has a gift of writing books with strong female characters, and writing them believably. Three wonderful examples of this are Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood and Professor McGonagall.

On the outside, these women are not particularly tough in stature. Their unique iron comes from inside. It is shown through their integrity, unwavering beliefs and their brilliance. They all have their own special personalities but share many like traits.

Hermione Granger is one of the books most awesome women. Never short on courage, she's also clever and skilled in all things magic. She's caring and ready to fight for what she believes in. Her wisdom and common sense lead Harry throughout the whole series and when she has to obliterate her parents memory, she doesn't want to, but does so because it is the only way to keep them safe.

Sometimes minor characters play an important role and Luna Lovegood is definitely one of those. Luna Lovegood serves as a strong voice of wisdom to Harry in times of inner turmoil. She is a wonderful character who is not swayed by the ill behavior of others towards her.

The headmaster's right hand is none other than Professor McGonagall. She's a constant and she creates structure for the students and the teachers alike. She is no nonsense and she will stand up for what is right. It is she who delegates to all the other characters what to do when the final battle arrives at Hogwarts.

All three of these characters appear very sure of whom they are. They are smart, wise, clever and won't just accept bad changes in the world. It is only through the support of books with strong female characters that the next generation will flourish and ignorance will be defeated like Voldemort himself.
