Thanks for watching folks! Comments keep getting disabled so if you see them open then please be sure to leave one! Who is more powerful? Harry or Hermione?
Fantastic video,🔥🔥,Harry would never fight with intent to harm or kill her,but if it were a duel to the death I think Harry's raw power would,stop her if he had no other choice.
Hermione knows and remembers more magic. When there's no crisis or danger. Harry is vastly superior during a crisis, is cooler under fire, and better in a duel as a result. Harry is definitely underrated. He could cast a Patronus WHILE VOLDEMORT's soul was dwelling inside him at 13. It was not easy, certainly. It took him time, effort, and a great DODA teacher. However, it typically took Harry time to figure out for most new spells...except Snapes slashing spell. Hermione seemingly could do any new spell..or potion...as fast as any famous Witch or Wizard. Her mastery being so rapid really indicates her IQ and ability. She was able to use stronger spells just by reading about them...except for the Patronus. She could do it...but, like playing chess, she struggled a bit. Here's how Id stack them.... Given time, preparation, and some control or idea of her goal..Hermione comes out well on top. Without those criteria, however, it's easily Harry. He was tested, and tested again and again. And was always calm under fire.
@@rafaelmoral3306 oh well, so all the other students were already at a disadvantage against her. Knowing that there's not one department of magical studies except divination that Hermione is not excellent at. Genetics do matter I suppose
Also, let’s not forget that Harry’s first real successful attempt at Apparition was a long distance Apparition with a semi conscious Albus Dumbledore back to Hogsmeade at the age of 16. Edit: After the ordeal in the cave.
@@juribe5202 Hermione was older than Harry. She did Apparition at age 17, harry attempted to apparate with dumbledore at age 16, so technically Harry did it better imo
@@nightwing369 it depends. Humans can’t apparate out of Hogwarts, so that’s why Dumbledore made a portkey in Book 5 to take the Weasley’s and Harry to Grimmauld Place after Harry saw Arthur Weasley attacked in the DoM. Apparition is the most convenient way to travel in the HPU, but there are limitations to it. There are wards to prevent it, you can only apparate a certain distance(people speculate that your apparition distance is limited by your magical power and/or overall apparition ability), and it’s fairly dangerous when you’re just learning or doing it with people who are inexperienced. In book 4, the eldest Weasley children apparated to the World Cup. Arthur went with the portkey option for the rest of his kids, plus Harry and Hermione, because it was the quickest and easiest way to transport all 7 of them. You can only apparate so many people(the general belief is you can only side along 2 other people though Dobby side alonged Harry, Hermione, and Ron), and apparating 3-4 times is exhausting and increases your chances of being splinched.
I’d say Harry is more powerful but hermione is more versatile. Harry and Hermione have both faces real action with dark wizards but Harry learned most of his skills through the chaos of conflict while Hermione gained most of her skills through books. If the two dueled I’d say Harry would win but it won’t be easy at all it may be actually one of his harder battles .
I would also say that while Hermione edges Harry out in terms of learning, book smarts, and application of knowledge, she doesn't possess his ability to escalate to match force. I couldn't see her successfully using Crucio for example as Harry did. I think Harry's willingness to engage them on a more equal level would serve him better overall. Now put it like a Harry is Bruce and Hermione is Oracle situation and they're unstoppable.
One thing to consider when comparing Harry Potter and Hermione Granger is that while they both mastered the 'Petronouns' charm while they were still in school, Hermione still showed to have difficulty in casting it while Harry did so with ease. It is because of this that I feel that if one were to match them up based on raw power alone Harry would come up on top. However, if it's skill and the shear number of memorized spells that one is judging tham on than Hermione has the overwhelming advantage.
To be fair concerning the Patronus Charm, Harry was taught by an experienced and fully-trained adult Wizard. Hermione was taught by Harry, who was improvising. Harry was a natural at teaching, but it just isn’t the same.
@@Doomzdeh while that’s true, Harry did successfully teach several other students the patronus charm to the level of corporal form including Ron, Luna and Ginny all of whom were able to produce the charm more easily than Hermione. Harry even admits that the patronus is the one spell Hermione has trouble with.
Harry has more raw power but Hermione is smarter, more knowledge in magic, knows more ways to take out death eaters but Harry HAS the raw experience in doing so, even fought Voldemort multiple times. Honestly I see Harry winning majority of the fights against Hermione.
Not in a direct duel. Hermione tends to freeze under pressure - she was very lucky to survive in the battle in the Department of Mysteries, and in the first battle of Hogwarts she had the advantage of Felix Felicis, which Harry actually didn't have, and one of the Death Eaters (Rowle, I think) was blanketing the room with AKs. At least in books 1 and 7 and especially 4, her challenges stayed at least one level below Harry's. And she learned the Patronus (at 16, not at 13) from Harry.
@@leot1864 Hermione was no better against the dementors and she never faced Voldemort. Not to mention that Harry might already have been experienced during the Department of Mysteries episode, but Neville, Ginny and Luna weren't and all of them fared a lot better than Hermione.
@@leot1864 It certainly depends. If it is about knowledge, there is no contest, of course. But if it is about thinking on your feet (or at least if that matters), she has a big handicap. She saved Harry's life in Godric's Hollow, but she also got his wand destroyed. And in the early years, well ... "There is no wood."
But JKR herself has stated that between Harry and Hermione, Harry possesses superior innate magical power,reflexes, survival instincts,duelling, general defensive magic and leadership but Hermione is certainly a greater all rounder and more booksmart
Using the same spell over and over again with the only person he truly duels against and sur iving out of sheer luck and help is not really that admirable…
@@osochara I'm not talking about exclusively Expelliarmus, if you read all of the books you'd understand, like the array of jinxes, hexes and curses he mastered for the Maze and passed down to DA.
It all comes down to book learning/rote memorization vs. trial & error/school of hard knocks. And actually, IMHO Harry needed Hermione, and she needed him. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Just imagine, if Snape had been a better teacher and taken Hermione under his wing instead of putting her down at every opportunity, she could have become one of the greatest potioneers in history.
I personally think that could be the same with Harry as in the half blood Prince, he aced it with snape’s book. Now just imagine if snape had actually taught him properly in the earlier years, Harry would be amazing in potions as well. Especially with the fact that Slughorn confirmed that Lily was a natural in potions so that was likely passed down to Harry
@@nicodiangelo7051Absolutely. Also, Harry is also from the Potter lineage, who are renowned potioneers. Even James Potter must have some talent with potions, seeing as he successfully brewed an Animagus potion, which can easily go wrong.
I think it comes down to the type of contest and the conditions. Harry would have the edge in a straight-up battle or duel, where there was no time to prepare and one had to keep one's head under pressure. Hermione would have the contest hands-down in academics and skills, or in a battle where she was given time to think and strategize. Most of the flight in Book 7 was due to Hermione's well-executed planning and preparation; but Harry does best when he trusts his instincts on the fly...
power is Harry, skill is Hermione. Harry seemed more curious about combative magic (to gain an upper hand on those he cast on) and is more specialized in combat and is able to think quick on his feet or just react, whereas Hermione is a perfect jack of all trades as in she was a master at all because of how hard she worked. Harry is a grenade and Hermione is a pistol in this sense, raw talent and power that can cause massive damage if used improperly and Hermione is more accurate and focused, both are deadly for sure, but she seemed to be more of a support style witch as in being able to help those around her, and like I said with Harry he is more of a combatant. the fact Harry becomes administrator of aurors and Hermione becomes the minister of magic shows this as well, she in in charge of the well being of magic usage and the proper applications of it, Harry will break rules to gain an edge on those who pose a threat. Hermione the head of parliament and Harry the general/admiral of basically a military force
I feel like its just like Aang and Katara from Avatar the Last Airbender, Aang has natural talent and raw potential but Katara is incredibly smart and determined but powerful as well, so you want to say Katara and Hermione would be stronger but because of character growth the main hero always ends up strongest
In my opinion, if you think of raw power and innate ability to use spells under pressure, it would be Harry Potter (hands down). If you think of collection of many spells and how to combine those said spells in a situation, it would be Hermoine Granger. Think of raw power as how much magnitude of force a spell can produce depicts how much raw power a sorcerer has. When Harry Potter used the Patronas Charm, not only it produced a corporeal spirit stag, but it also cast a very wide magic shield that fended off a lot of dementors at a very young age. Hermoine used the same spell, but she was having a hard time. She produced an otter or a beaver corporeal form of Patronas Charm. If assumed the size of corporeal animal as the magnitude a sorcerer can produce the Patronas, then Harry would have a bigger magnitude of spell than Hermoine since a stag is bigger than a beaver or otter. The person who can defend himself/herself under pressure and has a lot of experience about it is also another aptitude of a very powerful sorcerer. Both Harry and Hermoine have their own fair share of experiences of defending in dire situations, but let's admit it that Harry have faced more dangers than Hermoine did and lived to tell the tale a lot of times. It almost as if he had Liquid Luck running in his veins just like the video said. Harry also bested Voldemort in some of their face offs and eventually defeated him. He is also resourceful at times when the situation arises. Knowledge of dozens of spells, combining them, and using it at a right circumstances also is a feat of a powerful sorcerer. While Harry can use spells at a right moment, Hermoine has far more knowledge of dozens spells and she can combine them to make it even more potent. In this aspect, Hermoine got this in the bag (hands down). This is where she shines the most as she is very studious and smart to a fault. Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Albus Dumbledore all admit and praise Hermoine as the "Brightest Witch in Her Age." Overall, Harry would be in advantage than Hermoine as he has more raw power and experience under pressure in duels. If he would be diligent enough to learn and master as many spells as Hermoine, he would be overpowered. While having more spells in your arsenal is definitely advantageous, it would be useless if you don't have the raw power and experience to back it up. Hermoine definitely has raw power and experience under her belt, but Harry has more of both.
I think this is a Batman vs Superman situation. If Harry amd Hermione were required to duel right there on the spot without warning I would give Harry the edge simply because he's more likely to do something unpredictable that catches her off guard. However, if Hermione was given even as little as a few hours prep time then her odds of winning would be dramatically higher as she could read up on a new spell, test fire it a few times, and make a plan to bait Harry into leaving an opening for that spell since she knows how Harry thinks.
@@BlackangelKatakuri When have we ever seen her dueling where she had prep time? The Death Eaters were always the ones with initiative. The few times she prepaired for a mission she had everything they needed. So if she was told in advance of the duel between her and Harry and had actual time to prepare for the duel then I give her the edge. But in any other situation I give the edge to Harry due to his more extensive dueling record and combat experience.
I would say they're evenly matched. Harry's best seems to come out when his life is the line. Hermione's best seems to come out during planning and preparation. Working together, they compliment each other, each one making up for the other's shortcomings so you really can't rate one better than the other.
Harry no question asked. Because of the Horcrux or not, he is naturally gifted in magic. Sure, Hermione catch on spells quicker and has a larger library of spells. But Harry does it better and stronger.
Harry is specifically mentioned by Hermoine herself to be more powerful at actual combat magic. Hermoine shines in most other areas when it comes to magic.
Yeah thats what I tought . Hermione is excellent at sheer knowledge and support but Harry is just a better fighter. He survived situations that would have ended hemrione outright.
@@LolLol-nn8td can’t think of the page but it’s book five when she is explaining that Harry needs to lead the DA and not her as Harry thought she should lead it originally. Also tone yourself down your being way to offended already so I’m guessing you don’t want this convo in good faith
@@tjmcfadden5137 thanks for the book. i'll will check as i love to read. also i just don't think harry is that skilled especially when alot of his talent is inherited or from Tom riddle. his magical objects make him powerful. and he used snape spells. there is not much about him that is original. ( harry is overrated )
@@LolLol-nn8td yes some peaple he is overrated but he's definitely a better dueler than Hermione peaple either underestimate him or overestimate him i would say by the end of the 7th book he is around moddys tier and when he is an adult he's relative to wizards like Severus Snape but Harry even got a better grade than Hermione in da so he's definately better in duels
There’s no way to separate their accomplishments. They were a team. Each was strengthened by the other. Hermione had incredible reasoning and Harry had the early experiences that gave him the will to prove his strength and courage. And really, the entire franchise works only because of the friendship between all three. Friendship is the strongest magic.
If snape never loved lily, dude would have been some sigma male grindset motherfucker at first and join the death eaters only to probably get marked by dumbledore in the first war. Dumbledore used snape as a double agent and protector of harry due to his love for lily. Without date, he is of no use to him. Snape would have probs gotten marked by dumbledore in the first war or get locked up
If Snape never loved Lily then would Harry even be alive? Wasn't it Snape that told Dumbledore about what happened and the only reason Dumbledore sent someone, I think Hagrid, to pick up baby Harry. If that didn't happen a helpless baby Harry would die of starvation.
@@brianabc83 no Voldemort would had killed Harry Lilly love curse worked because snape asked Voldemort to spare Lilly which Voldemort respecting snape tried to do but Lilly refused to let harry die which in turn cause her to die and the love spell to activate if snape didn’t beg Voldemort for Lilly life Voldemort wouldn’t have given Lilly a choice to live which would not activate the love curse
3rd year in the book Lupin taught the entire class how to deal with boggarts. Harry and Hermione took the test both passed. But Hermione had difficulty with the boggart. It had transformed into McGonagal and told her she had failed everything. She failed that part of the test. She had difficulty with dueling/battles. Through his experiences Harry was forced to learn how to spot dangers and deal with them. Whereas Hermione might need a moment or two longer. In a duel or battle, Harry has a definitive edge. She got better as time progressed. But even a slight delay could be catastrophic in battle.
Better comparison would be Hermione and Barty Crouch Jnr. Both exceptional students, Barty getting impressive 12 OWLs. Going on to become one of the youngest and probably skilled death eaters. Executing a complex plan to perfection under Dumbledore's nose while being one of the best DADA teachers at the same time.
Hermione is more celver and more practical, but in duel, I have to give it to Harry. He has experience that no other kid has during his era, he would use that experience against her, and we know that experience is more than anything in moments like this. Hermione is quite formidable fighter tho, wouldnt be easy imo.
it depends in my opinion, if each enter a dueling club over the years Hermione would be better, however in a one duel match Harry would win thanks to Expirence and the need to beat Hermione driving him one time
 I disagree. Even in a dueling club Hermione would be good but ultimately fail. She’s all about staying with what books say. But in a duel or a fight you often have to think on your feet. Adjust to others. That’s where Harry wins everytime. He will deviate from a plan, change what he does, she falters when leaving the plan. She often finds spells but Harry masters them faster.
Perfect explanation, I agree with pretty much everything you listed there. There are a couple of other points here that were missed like the fact that Hermione was quickest at pulling her wand out, by a noticeable margin, on the other two members of the trio. Harry and Ron would still have their wand pocketed in the Hermione took to pull hers out. This means that if it ever came to a quick duel with no wands already out, Hermione would have the first blow on Harry almost instantly. Secondly, Hermione had mastered all of the other wizarding branches apart from the DADA but even then, she came significantly close. In a duel I dont think either of them would resort to any dark spells as they are friends. I would never see Harry using Scectumsempra on Hermione if it came to winning a duel, the amount of fear in his eyes when he saw it on Malfoy, an enemy of him, would shut the door on him ever using it on her. Although if it was ever used by Harry then it most likely could be blocked by the shield charm. The last thing going for Harry, like you said, was his natural ability from his youth. He naturally was a strong dueller due to having Voldemort's horcrux inside him which allowed him to cast particularly dark spells. He also had one of the powerful wands in the series, coming only under Dumbledores and Voldemort's. This naturally gave him slightly more potential with the spells Harry produced.
I believe what makes Harry a powerful wizard is his ability to truly listen when he knows someone wise or more skilled then him shares information with him. He was able to defeat Voldemort because he listened to Olivander Hermione and Dumbledore when they each gave him important information that he could have just as easily overlooked. Olivander told him, "the wand chooses the Wizard". Hermione told Harry how "Voldemort could potentially mend his sould by feeling remorse, but it can potentially kill him" and Dumbledore told Harry that "Voldemort doesn't take the time to understand things he doesn't value" so when Harry survived the killing curse in the forest, he used all that shared knowledge to basically get Voldemort to kill himself. Harry knew that the wand had it's allegiance to him and not Voldemort. He also offered Voldemort the chance to feel remorse for his evil. Harry knew when he used Expellirmus to disarm Voldemort that his spell was going to overpower Voldemort because he was the master of the Elder Wand. Harry didnt have to cast a curse to kill Voldemort because when Voldemort cast the Avada Kadavra Curse he was dooming himself to death and Harry was right the spell rebounded he was killed. Harry knew Voldemort didn't understand Love or remorse or wand lore.
Video idea for you to do: What additional effects do spells have that are not seen in the movies? For instance, what else can the patronus charm do besides ward off dementors?
I think if we’re talking about who’s better who’s more knowledgeable about spells and such it’s Hermione but in my opinion Harry has far more hands on experience and better feats in terms of dueling capabilities. If they were in a open field and dueled 10 times I can’t see Harry losing more than 3 times out of 10 duels. If it was a trivia game or ya know anything that they might need information about Hermione is arguably the best witch to go to in that time outside of already older witches and wizards. PS: Love the video I hope you do more like this 👍🏽
See the 10 times thing won’t be true imo. As the first few times Harry would win, but Hermione excels in revising and gaining new knowledge. Despite Harry winning the first 3 or so duels, I personally think that Hermione would be studying Harry’s strengths and weaknesses so as to turn it around in the later rounds and eventually beat Harry in my opinion as this 10 round thing is the exact preparation Hermione needs to beat Harry. That’s where she’ll get her experience and preparation to overpower Harry. But if it’s just a 1 on 1, no context and a straight up first time meeting, Harry would emerge on top
@@nicodiangelo7051 in terms of vs battles that’s kinda how you should have it. In-character Harry wouldn’t duel Hermione there wouldn’t be any real reason to that’s why it’s a Vs battle I’m not saying I completely disagree but I don’t think a book can give her body the training Harry has gotten. Harry more than likely has better reaction time and as we know hes better overall at defensive and offensive spells so it’s a battle between knowledge and experience. I do believe in-character she can easily catch up and win but if we’re talking just Vs battles I have to give it to Harry. Vs Battle: Harry Win majority In-character: I think it’s more evenly matched and up for debate.
@@nicodiangelo7051I think harry would always emerge on top tbh. Hermione is featless and harry was able to duel with Voldemort multiple times. He’s by far top 5 in the verse too.
@@nazhirector1143 dumbledore, grindelwald, Voldemort snape and Bellatrix are more powerful imo. The only one of those he’d beat in a duel is Voldemort only Becos of lily’s sacrifice
Hermione also took extra classes. Not all magic she performs is practised beforehand. She has much less time than we think. She only knew theory of memory charms and still pulled that out on first try. She is much better at spellcasting even without hardwork.
I haven’t watched one of the videos in a while but I’m glad I came back cuz I enjoy them so much. I really like the calmness and the music and of course the info and for a harry potter nerd this is al you can ask. I realised I have to watch ur vids consistently now lol.
Last post. Snape says that the dark arts is always changing, therefore the person fighting it has to also change. I think granger was to rigid. In potions class Harry clearly had superior instructions, She just couldn’t abandon the official ones in her book. I think that sums her up.
I think they’re both reasonably matched. Neither Harry or Hermione really have the edge on the other. Hermione was the better student but, Harry was a very good student as well. The only class he never put the effort into was Divination. While Harry did fail his History of Magic OWL, it wasn’t completely his fault. In the subjects that actually mattered to Harry, he did very well.
Hermione was a jack of all trades, master on none type of person. She always struggled with the patronus. Even after she could cast it, she couldn’t pull it off so effortlessly like Harry. Harry’s talent was reactionary, and mastery of a few rather than knowledge of many. If we are talking about in a fight, I’d take Harry. He’s naturally gifted in dada spells, and could use what he knows effectively. Hermione would be better if we needed a breadth of knowledge. She knew too much. Granted, power only matters in a duel. When life is on the line. In that situation Harry would win, so the debate is rather moot.
I feel like it would be like Batman vs. Superman. Hermione as Batman and Harry as Superman. If you just threw them into a fight, Harry prevails. If you give them time to prepare, I think hermione outsmarts Harry
I think Harry is the bettet duelist and also more powerfull while Hermine is the overall more skilled witch. She can cast more spells but Harry can use spells with more power and speed which makes him come out on top in many duels
We first need to ask “does being a horcrux strengthen or weaken Harry?” The parselmouth talent was tied to his horcrux. What other talent did he gain? Which did he Lose?
Harry although powerful was taught by some of the greatest and exposed to battles early on, but Hermione was almost a self taught and well prepared. If she has been exposed to other great wizards like harry she would have been a beast. Also she is very very logical and deductive.
Definitely Harry, if Harry actually craved power like albus or Voldemort he probably would have been the most powerful wizard of all time. But he had other priorities on his mind and he thought other things were more important than pursuing power. He had all the natural ability to become the strongest wizard of all time if he truly desired to do so.
Between the 2 of them Herm is likely to come up with a strategy to best the other. HP... What does he do besides point and shoot? I feel like she would do better
I was betting on Hermione too. Your lead up at the end made me think you were going with Harry. I would go with Hermione because her capability was skill, repeatable and growing, while Harry was lucky as you said, but his success was not always expertise.
In a duel without no pressure, hermiome would win. Life or death situation, Harry would win. As he explained to Hermione and ron in Order of Phoneix, its not about memorising a bunch of spells but guts, keeping your head and luck.
Hermione is the epitome of book smart and being prepared. Idk if I would describe her as a particular powerful wizard. However, whatever power she lacked can be made up for with pure knowledge. Then you have Harry. Very little knowledge by comparison. He operates on talent and luck. Magic, like many things, is most effectively used by people with not just talent, but people with great will and drive. Harry spent 11 years being neglected and living under a staircase. Then over the course of 7 years before leaving school had one of the greatest resumes of all time. Hermione will make most wizards/witches look stupid. But sometimes talent can be overwhelming.
Also remember when Harry lost Morty's soul fragment, some of Harry's abilities went away. Some of Harry's ability was Morty's ability while the soul fragment was in Harry.
I'm going to say they are roughly equal in duels.. When it comes to duels, it comes down to whether or not there is advance notice. If there is advance warning that the duel will happen, Hermione takes the duel. With no warning, Harry takes the win. Outside of duels, Hermione has the clear edge. Her spells are more versatile as she simply has knowledge of more spells and is much smarter than Harry.
It’s definitely a very close call, I’d slightly edge towards Harry though based off what he’s managed to achieve in his life, and the fact that Hermione learned a lot from him in the DA, so that defo would have been a factor in her being as effective a fighter as she was. Hermione was brilliant on her own, and still would have been brilliant had the DA not existed, but for me Harry has the slight edge when it comes to duelling, especially if they ever had a 1 vs 1. It’s sort of like the Messi vs Ronaldo debate in football, you have messi, who like Harry, had insane natural talent, and then Hermione, who like Ronaldo, got there through sheer hard work and determination. 2 similar people who got to where they are through different methods.
The word master gets thrown around a lot. But given how incompetent a lot of the wizards seem the title master has little meaning. Wizards are still baffled by cars by all rights not a recent “muggle” technology.
Hermione definitely. Harry was extremely successful with the patronus, the disarming spell and flying, but he kind of really stunk at the rest. When he was learning accio from Hermione he had a very difficult time mastering it. He couldn't figure out the egg clue, he then couldn't figure out how to breathe underwater, Hermione and Ron worked to prepare him for the maze, the DA was Hermione's idea, she made the coins, she healed a splinched Ron, she cast the protection spells. And unlike Harry and Ron, she actually returned to Hogwarts to finish her schooling rather than take the pass the Ministry offered. She went on to become Minister of Magic. And, without any help even being offered by the Order, she successfully modified her parents memories and send them to safety. And later was able to successfully restore their memories. Hermione was the stronger, but Harry did have those three areas where he excelled no denying.
Some of Hermione’s skills that you listed don’t apply directly to dueling though. I think it kind of depends on if you’re strictly asking the question of “who is more powerful in a duel?” vs “who is more powerful overall?” I think that Harry is undeniably more powerful in a duel given the situations he faced and the fact that he beat Hermione in Defense Against the Dark Arts several times. I don’t think Hermione would have come out on top in the duels Harry faces. You highlighted Hermione’s versatility which I think gives her the edge overall, just not in a duel.
Actually, both being able to modify and then restore memories proves she's powerful. Years later healers are still unable to restore memories of those Lockhart stole from. And she did that as a teen without professional training. Harry is definitely more powerful with his two signature spells, but she has way more in her arsenal. Honestly, if she hadn't been muggleborn her cleverness and ruthlessness would have been perfect for Slytherin.
Voldemort was shame for wizards more than Harry was, so beating him was not special deal. Hermoione could cast some spells without wand, when still being 5 or 6 year student
I rather trust a soldier who's been in a war for 5 years than I would a commander who commanded behind the scenes for years. Not one is useless. One needs the other. It's like this. If I were to hire a bodyguard, I rather hire the one with experience, not knowledge.
I honestly don't know I think that hermione is a very intelligent and smart witch which makes her powerful and harry is a really good duelist and he defeated the darkest wizard of all times making him very powerful as well. Many would say harry is more powerful but I think they both are as if it weren't for hermione voldemort would still be there in the Wizarding world. Harry knew what to do and what spells to cast if a death eater would challenge him but hermione would always know what to do if they ever were in trouble. So I think they both are really powerful in there own way . Btw thank you for reading my comment I am a huge harry potter fan.🙂
I’ve felt that Harry was a more powerful wizard, he can cast a patronus charm at age 13 corporeal even. Hermione is more booksmart but wouldn’t last in a fight that long in a fight, she is skilled but her power isn’t as great as his. Hermione is versatile however and can, with preparation fight well, but Harry is a very skilled battlefield tactician and comes up with his plans in the heat of battle, Like Godric Gryffindor himself.
It’s unquestionable that Harry had more achievements. Being one of, if not thee youngest to ever produce a patronus is a huge accomplishment as well. However, even Harry admits it himself during the formation of the DA that he gets lucky, doesn’t know what he’s doing half the time, and almost always has help. As far as dueling, yes Harry defeated many opponents including Voldemort, but his crutch of using the disarming charm makes it easier for opponents to anticipate his next move and nearly got everyone killed in the battle of the 7 potters. It could be argued that it did contribute to Moody’s death. With Hermione on the other hand, you never know what to expect going up against her other than you will encounter something that you’ve possibly never seen or heard of before. Harry had luck, a horcrux within, his mothers loving protection, and help from others to achieve most of his accomplishments. Hermione on the other hand was incredibly powerful through her studies. If she encountered a curse, she probably knew the counter curse. Snape’s potions protecting the philosopher’s stone. Figuring out the monster in the chamber was a basilisk before anyone else, including Dumbledore. There is no way that Harry would have survived without Hermione’s list of accomplishments. Harry may be slightly more powerful and things come more naturally to him, but if you look at all aspects, Hermione is greater
Hermione through and through. She saved Harry several times. People focus on Harry producing a patronus, and Hermione could do it. She also made a polyjuice potion at 12 years old, which is probably more impressive than the patronus Harry did at 13. Everything else with Harry was luck
We really have no definitive gauge of whether or not conjuring patronus or making polyjuice is harder. And they are both pretty different. One is kinda more about following directions, intuition and finding ingredients and the other is just magical prowess.
I don't think that Hermione's Polly juice is more impressive, since he cast it against a ton of dementors, however Hermione is more powerful, Harry never beat anyone in a duel, other then Voldemort, he lost to Crouch, he lost to the death eaters in the ministry, he lost to the snatchers where Hermione used a spell on him to change his appearance, the only one he beat was Voldemort through his wand which he won through determination, Dumbledore saved him, his wand produced unknown magic, he escaped from Voldemort's snake thanks to Hermione, beat the Malfoy's thanks to surprise, beat Stan, so while Harry is powerful Hermione would win 6-4 duels with Harry wining the first 2 and Hermione starting to gain an edge later on once she has more practice
Hermione is better at potions, yes. But Hermione didn't learn the patronus till 2 years later in Dumbledore's Army, the school year students typically start studying stuff like that but Umbridge.
Harry is more powerful, while Hermione is smarter and have more resources. In a fight to catch the most dangerous death eater for example, Harry would execute the plan but Hermione would create the plan. Now imagine if both fighting in a duel, Harry would win because he is a better and more experienced duelist. Even Hermione knew this when she asked him to lead and teach the Dumbledore's Army.
Not meaning to argue, but more powerful is VERY subjective. Especially in the wizarding world where somebody could make a far more powerful potion than say the other person. and yet the other persons Jinx or curses are far more deadly. Someone could simply be a better duelist, but literally all of their magical attacks are weaker than their opponent. So if you mean in a dual well it’s Harry most often. Obviously Harry in potions especially with the book lol. If it’s knowledge, Hermione could compete against the entire school. If it’s creating most spells again, her ability dwarfs Harry. There was a point at seven minutes 33 seconds were you said Hermione was already deadlier. No. She didn’t do anything remotely deadly. Sorry but that just wasn’t ordered correctly. It would be. She was already showing extreme skill. I mean this friendly and I’m sure you’ll probably never read this. But if you do, you’re doing a great job love your channel.
Who is the better practitioner of magic and who is more powerful are two very different questions. I think it's pretty clear that Harry is more powerful, just as I think it's pretty clear that Hermione is overall more talented in magic as a whole.
B4 watching I'm going to say Harry is more powerful, Hermione is more knowledgeable. Hermione knows more spells, Harry's spells are stronger. Dumbledore has both brilliance and power.
I’d say that Harry is more powerful than Hermione. I mean he fought Voldy in the first movie, then in his second year he defeats a basilisk, third year he produced a potranus when he was only 13, fourth year he defeats a dragon, saved two people in the lake, and fought Voldy again, fifth year he became the teacher of DA, went to the Ministry Of Magic fought death eaters, sixth year discovered about the horcux, went into a dangerous cave and dealt with whatever those monsters in the lake were, seventh year…should I even write down what he had done in the seventh book/movie? Not to mention that he faced his death, came back, and distorted Voldy once and for all. But Hermione is also powerful, but not much as Harry (imo)
yeah, Hermione Granger knows MORE spells than anyone else in her generation, potentially as many as the most learned of witches and wizards. however, I would say the spells that Harry DOES use, he can do at least as well as Hermione. it comes to quantity vs quality
There is no "I" in team... neither of them would have been able to do what they did without eachother. And do not forget Ron in that either. If those three did not team up and work together, Tom would have won. They would not have even survived the first book. It is valid to compare how powerful each of them is, but now I would like to see a video, that shows how much they depended on eachother. The true power of Harry, Hermione and Ron lies in their friendship and being ready to fight and die for eachother, if needed. In conclusion I would say, they might be powerful individually, but only together they are unstoppable.
Harry is good at the dark arts, but the regular and everyday spells and potions were weak points for him. Hermione is an all around better spell caster, Harry is better at one area of spell casting, but Hermione knows more theory and knowledge of spells and potions than Harry and can cast spell and make potions without making mistakes. Harry is more of a specialist spell caster and Hermione is more of a strong all around general spell caster. They are good complimentary spell casters to each other.
Don’t forget, Harry did have one on one lessons with the Petronous charm and other complicated Magic with the best adult wizards like Snape, Lupin and Dumbledore himself. Hermione had no such help.
Before watching past 34 seconds I’m going hermione on this if we are talking over all power and not just power against Voldemort Harry isn’t the most diverse spell caster and hermione’s knowledge of most spells would make her my favorite for a straight up duel
I can imagine Dumbledore doing this one thing just a piss off Voldemort pulling out a spoon a metal spoon and deflecting his shots of avocadabra and sending them back while like reading a book so he's not even looking
Hermione is like the batman of this universe. Given prep time, she wins. In terms of sheer intellect and knowledge, she wins easily. Harry has her in raw power output and reflexes, so with no prep time, he wins.
@@samiulhuda4001 I have to give it to Hermione, if she had prep time. Harry is kind of a one trick pony, without the twin cores effect. Against Voldemort he's powerful, and probably unbeatable. Outside of that, Harry is mediocre. Or mid, as the kids say. He has fast reflexes, sure. But Hermione has WAY more knowledge, and much bigger arsenal of spells at her disposal. She'd floor Harry if she knew they were going to be fighting.
Not all magic she performs is practised beforehand. She has much less time than we think. She only knew theory of memory charms and still pulled that out on first try. She is much better at spellcasting even without hardwork.
Harry wouldn’t have made it half as far as he did, if he didn’t have Hermione as a friend helping him a majority of the time. Harry and Ron would’ve been wiped out by the devil snare straight away without Hermione being there and knowing what to do. It would’ve been game over. In my opinion, Hermione was way more powerful because of her natural born given abilities / powers. Whereas Harry a lot of his powers or gifts were somewhat given to him unintentionally by Voldemort and by his mum’s sacrifice… would Harry of been as nearly as powerful if he didn’t have any of those advantages?! Probably still powerful but nowhere near what he was with the advantages. So I’m my opinion, Hermione and her natural born, given talents, gifts and abilities, makes her more powerful.
What exactly makes one wizard more powerful than another? The number of different spells they know and are capable of casting? How many advanced and difficult spells they can cast? Is being proficient in many areas of magic superior to being extremely skillful in just a few? When 2 wizards cast the exact same spell like for example conjuring marbles out of thin air can one wizard create only a few marbles and the other create a huge pile of marbles? And if that is possible then what is the cause of differing outcomes? Experience casting the spell? Wand quality? Precision of their wand movement? Or do some wizards just possess greater natural magical ability then others and their spells just automatically outperform the spells of other wizards
It feels like Harry is Superman and Hermione is Batman. Harry can achieve amazing feats by ability and flair and looks more flashy than Hermione. But give enough preparation time to Hermione and she can go toe-to-toe with anyone and solve any problem. I like Hermione more though. I did for more than 20 years now 😊
I think so much of what Harry Did that was impressive with V had to do with his love protection and twin cores. Harry had a lot of cistumstance on his side helping him. Hermoine did it all on her own. If you look at it from the lens of past feats harry wins. but if you look at it as, pure magical ability of the person, hermoine wins.
I think you’re confusing who is the overall better wizard versus who is the most powerful wizard. Because just because you’re a powerful wizard doesn’t mean you are the better wizard. A boxer for example can have a very powerful punch or combination of punches, but he or she may not be the best boxer because of other skills. Power does not equal better.
I am completely on Team Hermione as she isn't that far behind in raw power but she is far ahead in wit and intelligence. I don't see Harry creating spells, I do see Hermione creating spells. I would put her mind in the same levels as Dumbledore.
Love watching your Harry Potter theory and I’m hoping I can try and watch it soon on digital copy because I like seeing the stuff you post and seeing it in the story and movie
I personally feel that if it's books we're talking about Hermione is the more powerful of the two. Because Harry had to actually utilize a lot of his learning, some he didn't learn from classes, I'd say he is more powerful. It's hard to truly know though.
I take the side of Snape that harry is the “chosen” one and is more naturally good while Hermione with hard work and dedication became a great witch. I respect the latter.
If we’re talking about who is more powerful in fighting I’d say harry. But if we’re talking about who is better in overall magic including potions, charms, etc I’d say hermione cause as i remember the only subject harry topped hermione in was DADA and at every other subject she was better.
Hermione Granger , w/o a shred of doubt. Harry couldn't have reached this far w/o Hermione. And she certainly is the better student. Harry needed Hermione's help many times and not the other way round. Harry , at least during the first half of his journey (even with Lupin) was more of a fabled great because he'd defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named/You-Know-Who Lord Voldemort. And tell me something , as a reality check , do you think Harry could duel Hermione , forget Voldemort ? Dumbledore , Hermione , Snape , Voldemort were all were naturally gifted at their crafts. Still they had to work their way up. Harry , apart from defence against the dark arts had nothing to reflect on wizarding prowess. Except for the 5th year in the Order of the Phoenix , Harry has never been shown as taking charge and trying to learn something. If it weren't for Lily Evans' love he wouldn't have lived to tell the tale. Actually , while I agree that magic is a fictional subject , but Harry Potter's abilities in the entire series boil down to LOVE. Be it fighting the Dementors with a corporal Patronus , or battling Lord Voldemort and coming out alive in the end. Whole , unmutilated soul everything. Can't you see it guys ? The entire Harry Potter series was nothing but a bloated , overblown out-of-proportions LOVE AFFAIR.
Harry has more power behind his spells but Hermione has more skill, and skill can compensate for up to 3x the power difference. So unless Harry is 4x stronger, then Hermione would win.
I think Harry has more latent magical power, but Hermione is more skilled, its like Naruto and Saskue, the naturally gifted one vs the hard working one.
Thanks for watching folks! Comments keep getting disabled so if you see them open then please be sure to leave one! Who is more powerful? Harry or Hermione?
Harry is more powerful
@@jasemsaeed5967 nah hermione could beat him anyday
Harry.
Harry will lose.
Fantastic video,🔥🔥,Harry would never fight with intent to harm or kill her,but if it were a duel to the death I think
Harry's raw power would,stop her if he had no other choice.
Hermione knows and remembers more magic. When there's no crisis or danger.
Harry is vastly superior during a crisis, is cooler under fire, and better in a duel as a result.
Harry is definitely underrated. He could cast a Patronus WHILE VOLDEMORT's soul was dwelling inside him at 13. It was not easy, certainly. It took him time, effort, and a great DODA teacher.
However, it typically took Harry time to figure out for most new spells...except Snapes slashing spell.
Hermione seemingly could do any new spell..or potion...as fast as any famous Witch or Wizard. Her mastery being so rapid really indicates her IQ and ability. She was able to use stronger spells just by reading about them...except for the Patronus. She could do it...but, like playing chess, she struggled a bit.
Here's how Id stack them....
Given time, preparation, and some control or idea of her goal..Hermione comes out well on top.
Without those criteria, however, it's easily Harry. He was tested, and tested again and again. And was always calm under fire.
So you're saying she's just gifted? If she can just cast a new spell without practice?
Lol always calm is a stretch 😂😂
@@villianbehindglasses8969 yeah kinda
@@villianbehindglasses8969 well in the books she could do spells that was far too advanced for her year
@@rafaelmoral3306 oh well, so all the other students were already at a disadvantage against her. Knowing that there's not one department of magical studies except divination that Hermione is not excellent at. Genetics do matter I suppose
Also, let’s not forget that Harry’s first real successful attempt at Apparition was a long distance Apparition with a semi conscious Albus Dumbledore back to Hogsmeade at the age of 16.
Edit: After the ordeal in the cave.
Very true
Yeah well Hermione did it better and before Harry :P
@@juribe5202 Hermione was older than Harry. She did Apparition at age 17, harry attempted to apparate with dumbledore at age 16, so technically Harry did it better imo
Apparition removes the need for portkeys?
@@nightwing369 it depends. Humans can’t apparate out of Hogwarts, so that’s why Dumbledore made a portkey in Book 5 to take the Weasley’s and Harry to Grimmauld Place after Harry saw Arthur Weasley attacked in the DoM.
Apparition is the most convenient way to travel in the HPU, but there are limitations to it. There are wards to prevent it, you can only apparate a certain distance(people speculate that your apparition distance is limited by your magical power and/or overall apparition ability), and it’s fairly dangerous when you’re just learning or doing it with people who are inexperienced.
In book 4, the eldest Weasley children apparated to the World Cup. Arthur went with the portkey option for the rest of his kids, plus Harry and Hermione, because it was the quickest and easiest way to transport all 7 of them.
You can only apparate so many people(the general belief is you can only side along 2 other people though Dobby side alonged Harry, Hermione, and Ron), and apparating 3-4 times is exhausting and increases your chances of being splinched.
I’d say Harry is more powerful but hermione is more versatile. Harry and Hermione have both faces real action with dark wizards but Harry learned most of his skills through the chaos of conflict while Hermione gained most of her skills through books. If the two dueled I’d say Harry would win but it won’t be easy at all it may be actually one of his harder battles .
Isn't that why they belong together as a couple, you know they're in perfect Harmony!😂
@@LordEmperorHyperion of course , they r 😄 .
If Harry would only be as book smart as hermione aswell the films wouldve been over quickly
I would also say that while Hermione edges Harry out in terms of learning, book smarts, and application of knowledge, she doesn't possess his ability to escalate to match force. I couldn't see her successfully using Crucio for example as Harry did. I think Harry's willingness to engage them on a more equal level would serve him better overall. Now put it like a Harry is Bruce and Hermione is Oracle situation and they're unstoppable.
@@xiphos8219 hermione edges harry 😳
One thing to consider when comparing Harry Potter and Hermione Granger is that while they both mastered the 'Petronouns' charm while they were still in school, Hermione still showed to have difficulty in casting it while Harry did so with ease.
It is because of this that I feel that if one were to match them up based on raw power alone Harry would come up on top.
However, if it's skill and the shear number of memorized spells that one is judging tham on than Hermione has the overwhelming advantage.
With ease? Harry struggled a lot with the patronous spell initially as well.
@@AndreSomers At age 13.
He shouldn't have been able to do it at all.
My petronouns are they/them ✨
To be fair concerning the Patronus Charm, Harry was taught by an experienced and fully-trained adult Wizard. Hermione was taught by Harry, who was improvising.
Harry was a natural at teaching, but it just isn’t the same.
@@Doomzdeh while that’s true, Harry did successfully teach several other students the patronus charm to the level of corporal form including Ron, Luna and Ginny all of whom were able to produce the charm more easily than Hermione. Harry even admits that the patronus is the one spell Hermione has trouble with.
Harry has more raw power but Hermione is smarter, more knowledge in magic, knows more ways to take out death eaters but Harry HAS the raw experience in doing so, even fought Voldemort multiple times. Honestly I see Harry winning majority of the fights against Hermione.
Harry would win the majority of the duels perhaps, but only after Hermione showed him what to do.
@@quintuscrinis this battle asks the question what’s more important in a fight, book smarts or strategy.
Not in a direct duel. Hermione tends to freeze under pressure - she was very lucky to survive in the battle in the Department of Mysteries, and in the first battle of Hogwarts she had the advantage of Felix Felicis, which Harry actually didn't have, and one of the Death Eaters (Rowle, I think) was blanketing the room with AKs. At least in books 1 and 7 and especially 4, her challenges stayed at least one level below Harry's. And she learned the Patronus (at 16, not at 13) from Harry.
Harry also froze as well when he faced the dementors in The prisoner of Azkaban and when he faced Voldemort and The order of the Phoenix
@@leot1864 Hermione was no better against the dementors and she never faced Voldemort. Not to mention that Harry might already have been experienced during the Department of Mysteries episode, but Neville, Ginny and Luna weren't and all of them fared a lot better than Hermione.
@@TV-ge3uj I'm not saying she's better. To me it's a 50/50 situation.
@@leot1864 It certainly depends. If it is about knowledge, there is no contest, of course. But if it is about thinking on your feet (or at least if that matters), she has a big handicap. She saved Harry's life in Godric's Hollow, but she also got his wand destroyed. And in the early years, well ... "There is no wood."
@@TV-ge3uj thank you.
But JKR herself has stated that between Harry and Hermione, Harry possesses superior innate magical power,reflexes, survival instincts,duelling, general defensive magic and leadership but Hermione is certainly a greater all rounder and more booksmart
Because he was Voldemort's Horcrux ?
Using the same spell over and over again with the only person he truly duels against and sur iving out of sheer luck and help is not really that admirable…
@@osochara I'm not talking about exclusively Expelliarmus, if you read all of the books you'd understand, like the array of jinxes, hexes and curses he mastered for the Maze and passed down to DA.
Hermione still claps low diff
@@yoyomayne in overall academics, yes.
But in a duel, Harry cleans her out within under a minute, JK herself stated so.
It all comes down to book learning/rote memorization vs. trial & error/school of hard knocks. And actually, IMHO Harry needed Hermione, and she needed him. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Just imagine, if Snape had been a better teacher and taken Hermione under his wing instead of putting her down at every opportunity, she could have become one of the greatest potioneers in history.
I personally think that could be the same with Harry as in the half blood Prince, he aced it with snape’s book. Now just imagine if snape had actually taught him properly in the earlier years, Harry would be amazing in potions as well. Especially with the fact that Slughorn confirmed that Lily was a natural in potions so that was likely passed down to Harry
Oh my god, snape actually pushing hermione to her edge, that is a scary thought.
@@nicodiangelo7051Absolutely. Also, Harry is also from the Potter lineage, who are renowned potioneers. Even James Potter must have some talent with potions, seeing as he successfully brewed an Animagus potion, which can easily go wrong.
I think it comes down to the type of contest and the conditions. Harry would have the edge in a straight-up battle or duel, where there was no time to prepare and one had to keep one's head under pressure. Hermione would have the contest hands-down in academics and skills, or in a battle where she was given time to think and strategize. Most of the flight in Book 7 was due to Hermione's well-executed planning and preparation; but Harry does best when he trusts his instincts on the fly...
power is Harry, skill is Hermione. Harry seemed more curious about combative magic (to gain an upper hand on those he cast on) and is more specialized in combat and is able to think quick on his feet or just react, whereas Hermione is a perfect jack of all trades as in she was a master at all because of how hard she worked. Harry is a grenade and Hermione is a pistol in this sense, raw talent and power that can cause massive damage if used improperly and Hermione is more accurate and focused, both are deadly for sure, but she seemed to be more of a support style witch as in being able to help those around her, and like I said with Harry he is more of a combatant. the fact Harry becomes administrator of aurors and Hermione becomes the minister of magic shows this as well, she in in charge of the well being of magic usage and the proper applications of it, Harry will break rules to gain an edge on those who pose a threat. Hermione the head of parliament and Harry the general/admiral of basically a military force
I feel like its just like Aang and Katara from Avatar the Last Airbender, Aang has natural talent and raw potential but Katara is incredibly smart and determined but powerful as well, so you want to say Katara and Hermione would be stronger but because of character growth the main hero always ends up strongest
It's more that because she's more intelligent she learns spells at a faster rate
@@BlackangelKatakuri I said incredibly smart and determined while comparing Katara to Herione
@@bigredz932 Oops my mistake.
Raw/natural power: Harry
More finesse/raw intellect: Hermione
Hermione learns it
Harry just does it
In my opinion, if you think of raw power and innate ability to use spells under pressure, it would be Harry Potter (hands down). If you think of collection of many spells and how to combine those said spells in a situation, it would be Hermoine Granger.
Think of raw power as how much magnitude of force a spell can produce depicts how much raw power a sorcerer has. When Harry Potter used the Patronas Charm, not only it produced a corporeal spirit stag, but it also cast a very wide magic shield that fended off a lot of dementors at a very young age. Hermoine used the same spell, but she was having a hard time. She produced an otter or a beaver corporeal form of Patronas Charm. If assumed the size of corporeal animal as the magnitude a sorcerer can produce the Patronas, then Harry would have a bigger magnitude of spell than Hermoine since a stag is bigger than a beaver or otter.
The person who can defend himself/herself under pressure and has a lot of experience about it is also another aptitude of a very powerful sorcerer. Both Harry and Hermoine have their own fair share of experiences of defending in dire situations, but let's admit it that Harry have faced more dangers than Hermoine did and lived to tell the tale a lot of times. It almost as if he had Liquid Luck running in his veins just like the video said. Harry also bested Voldemort in some of their face offs and eventually defeated him. He is also resourceful at times when the situation arises.
Knowledge of dozens of spells, combining them, and using it at a right circumstances also is a feat of a powerful sorcerer. While Harry can use spells at a right moment, Hermoine has far more knowledge of dozens spells and she can combine them to make it even more potent. In this aspect, Hermoine got this in the bag (hands down). This is where she shines the most as she is very studious and smart to a fault. Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Albus Dumbledore all admit and praise Hermoine as the "Brightest Witch in Her Age."
Overall, Harry would be in advantage than Hermoine as he has more raw power and experience under pressure in duels. If he would be diligent enough to learn and master as many spells as Hermoine, he would be overpowered. While having more spells in your arsenal is definitely advantageous, it would be useless if you don't have the raw power and experience to back it up. Hermoine definitely has raw power and experience under her belt, but Harry has more of both.
I think this is a Batman vs Superman situation.
If Harry amd Hermione were required to duel right there on the spot without warning I would give Harry the edge simply because he's more likely to do something unpredictable that catches her off guard.
However, if Hermione was given even as little as a few hours prep time then her odds of winning would be dramatically higher as she could read up on a new spell, test fire it a few times, and make a plan to bait Harry into leaving an opening for that spell since she knows how Harry thinks.
But when has Hermione ever taken that approach to dueling?
@@BlackangelKatakuri When have we ever seen her dueling where she had prep time? The Death Eaters were always the ones with initiative. The few times she prepaired for a mission she had everything they needed. So if she was told in advance of the duel between her and Harry and had actual time to prepare for the duel then I give her the edge. But in any other situation I give the edge to Harry due to his more extensive dueling record and combat experience.
Super man wins every time. Lol. Just saying.
@@robertmartin4449 Except the one time Batman shows up with Kryptonite Power.
@@robertmartin4449 He was stronger than Batman until he showed up with a kryptonite crystal that are Supermans main weakness.
I would say they're evenly matched. Harry's best seems to come out when his life is the line. Hermione's best seems to come out during planning and preparation. Working together, they compliment each other, each one making up for the other's shortcomings so you really can't rate one better than the other.
Which is why even though it was called the Golden Trio, it was most definitely The Golden Duo.
Harry no question asked. Because of the Horcrux or not, he is naturally gifted in magic. Sure, Hermione catch on spells quicker and has a larger library of spells. But Harry does it better and stronger.
Harry is specifically mentioned by Hermoine herself to be more powerful at actual combat magic. Hermoine shines in most other areas when it comes to magic.
Yeah thats what I tought . Hermione is excellent at sheer knowledge and support but Harry is just a better fighter.
He survived situations that would have ended hemrione outright.
when did she ever say that. give me the page, the number of the page
@@LolLol-nn8td can’t think of the page but it’s book five when she is explaining that Harry needs to lead the DA and not her as Harry thought she should lead it originally. Also tone yourself down your being way to offended already so I’m guessing you don’t want this convo in good faith
@@tjmcfadden5137 thanks for the book. i'll will check as i love to read. also i just don't think harry is that skilled especially when alot of his talent is inherited or from Tom riddle. his magical objects make him powerful. and he used snape spells. there is not much about him that is original. ( harry is overrated )
@@LolLol-nn8td yes some peaple he is overrated but he's definitely a better dueler than Hermione peaple either underestimate him or overestimate him i would say by the end of the 7th book he is around moddys tier and when he is an adult he's relative to wizards like Severus Snape but Harry even got a better grade than Hermione in da so he's definately better in duels
There’s no way to separate their accomplishments. They were a team. Each was strengthened by the other. Hermione had incredible reasoning and Harry had the early experiences that gave him the will to prove his strength and courage. And really, the entire franchise works only because of the friendship between all three. Friendship is the strongest magic.
Video suggestion: How would the series be different if Snape never loved Lily?
If snape never loved lily, dude would have been some sigma male grindset motherfucker at first and join the death eaters only to probably get marked by dumbledore in the first war.
Dumbledore used snape as a double agent and protector of harry due to his love for lily. Without date, he is of no use to him.
Snape would have probs gotten marked by dumbledore in the first war or get locked up
Damn, this is a good one! Thanks for letting me brainstorm on this idea for the next 3 hours lol
@@ar21end85 you have no idea how long this one’s been in the chamber. Hopefully it gets traction with it’s HP theory
If Snape never loved Lily then would Harry even be alive? Wasn't it Snape that told Dumbledore about what happened and the only reason Dumbledore sent someone, I think Hagrid, to pick up baby Harry. If that didn't happen a helpless baby Harry would die of starvation.
@@brianabc83 no Voldemort would had killed Harry Lilly love curse worked because snape asked Voldemort to spare Lilly which Voldemort respecting snape tried to do but Lilly refused to let harry die which in turn cause her to die and the love spell to activate if snape didn’t beg Voldemort for Lilly life Voldemort wouldn’t have given Lilly a choice to live which would not activate the love curse
3rd year in the book Lupin taught the entire class how to deal with boggarts. Harry and Hermione took the test both passed. But Hermione had difficulty with the boggart. It had transformed into McGonagal and told her she had failed everything. She failed that part of the test. She had difficulty with dueling/battles. Through his experiences Harry was forced to learn how to spot dangers and deal with them. Whereas Hermione might need a moment or two longer. In a duel or battle, Harry has a definitive edge. She got better as time progressed. But even a slight delay could be catastrophic in battle.
Better comparison would be Hermione and Barty Crouch Jnr. Both exceptional students, Barty getting impressive 12 OWLs. Going on to become one of the youngest and probably skilled death eaters. Executing a complex plan to perfection under Dumbledore's nose while being one of the best DADA teachers at the same time.
Hermione is more celver and more practical, but in duel, I have to give it to Harry. He has experience that no other kid has during his era, he would use that experience against her, and we know that experience is more than anything in moments like this. Hermione is quite formidable fighter tho, wouldnt be easy imo.
Exactly, I feel like he would use his surroundings towards his advantage to be honest
it depends in my opinion, if each enter a dueling club over the years Hermione would be better, however in a one duel match Harry would win thanks to Expirence and the need to beat Hermione driving him one time
 I disagree. Even in a dueling club Hermione would be good but ultimately fail. She’s all about staying with what books say. But in a duel or a fight you often have to think on your feet. Adjust to others. That’s where Harry wins everytime. He will deviate from a plan, change what he does, she falters when leaving the plan. She often finds spells but Harry masters them faster.
Perfect explanation, I agree with pretty much everything you listed there. There are a couple of other points here that were missed like the fact that Hermione was quickest at pulling her wand out, by a noticeable margin, on the other two members of the trio. Harry and Ron would still have their wand pocketed in the Hermione took to pull hers out. This means that if it ever came to a quick duel with no wands already out, Hermione would have the first blow on Harry almost instantly. Secondly, Hermione had mastered all of the other wizarding branches apart from the DADA but even then, she came significantly close. In a duel I dont think either of them would resort to any dark spells as they are friends. I would never see Harry using Scectumsempra on Hermione if it came to winning a duel, the amount of fear in his eyes when he saw it on Malfoy, an enemy of him, would shut the door on him ever using it on her. Although if it was ever used by Harry then it most likely could be blocked by the shield charm. The last thing going for Harry, like you said, was his natural ability from his youth. He naturally was a strong dueller due to having Voldemort's horcrux inside him which allowed him to cast particularly dark spells. He also had one of the powerful wands in the series, coming only under Dumbledores and Voldemort's. This naturally gave him slightly more potential with the spells Harry produced.
I believe what makes Harry a powerful wizard is his ability to truly listen when he knows someone wise or more skilled then him shares information with him. He was able to defeat Voldemort because he listened to Olivander Hermione and Dumbledore when they each gave him important information that he could have just as easily overlooked. Olivander told him, "the wand chooses the Wizard". Hermione told Harry how "Voldemort could potentially mend his sould by feeling remorse, but it can potentially kill him" and Dumbledore told Harry that "Voldemort doesn't take the time to understand things he doesn't value" so when Harry survived the killing curse in the forest, he used all that shared knowledge to basically get Voldemort to kill himself.
Harry knew that the wand had it's allegiance to him and not Voldemort. He also offered Voldemort the chance to feel remorse for his evil. Harry knew when he used Expellirmus to disarm Voldemort that his spell was going to overpower Voldemort because he was the master of the Elder Wand. Harry didnt have to cast a curse to kill Voldemort because when Voldemort cast the Avada Kadavra Curse he was dooming himself to death and Harry was right the spell rebounded he was killed. Harry knew Voldemort didn't understand Love or remorse or wand lore.
Video idea for you to do:
What additional effects do spells have that are not seen in the movies? For instance, what else can the patronus charm do besides ward off dementors?
Can you do Ron Weasley vs Neville Longbottom video?
I have been speculating in that Neville actually can beat Ron in a duell.
I think if we’re talking about who’s better who’s more knowledgeable about spells and such it’s Hermione but in my opinion Harry has far more hands on experience and better feats in terms of dueling capabilities. If they were in a open field and dueled 10 times I can’t see Harry losing more than 3 times out of 10 duels. If it was a trivia game or ya know anything that they might need information about Hermione is arguably the best witch to go to in that time outside of already older witches and wizards.
PS: Love the video I hope you do more like this 👍🏽
See the 10 times thing won’t be true imo. As the first few times Harry would win, but Hermione excels in revising and gaining new knowledge. Despite Harry winning the first 3 or so duels, I personally think that Hermione would be studying Harry’s strengths and weaknesses so as to turn it around in the later rounds and eventually beat Harry in my opinion as this 10 round thing is the exact preparation Hermione needs to beat Harry. That’s where she’ll get her experience and preparation to overpower Harry. But if it’s just a 1 on 1, no context and a straight up first time meeting, Harry would emerge on top
@@nicodiangelo7051 in terms of vs battles that’s kinda how you should have it. In-character Harry wouldn’t duel Hermione there wouldn’t be any real reason to that’s why it’s a Vs battle I’m not saying I completely disagree but I don’t think a book can give her body the training Harry has gotten. Harry more than likely has better reaction time and as we know hes better overall at defensive and offensive spells so it’s a battle between knowledge and experience. I do believe in-character she can easily catch up and win but if we’re talking just Vs battles I have to give it to Harry.
Vs Battle: Harry Win majority
In-character: I think it’s more evenly matched and up for debate.
@@nicodiangelo7051I think harry would always emerge on top tbh. Hermione is featless and harry was able to duel with Voldemort multiple times. He’s by far top 5 in the verse too.
@@nazhirector1143 dumbledore, grindelwald, Voldemort snape and Bellatrix are more powerful imo. The only one of those he’d beat in a duel is Voldemort only Becos of lily’s sacrifice
Hermione also took extra classes. Not all magic she performs is practised beforehand. She has much less time than we think. She only knew theory of memory charms and still pulled that out on first try. She is much better at spellcasting even without hardwork.
I haven’t watched one of the videos in a while but I’m glad I came back cuz I enjoy them so much. I really like the calmness and the music and of course the info and for a harry potter nerd this is al you can ask. I realised I have to watch ur vids consistently now lol.
Welcome back!
Granger absolutely yeets potter all over the quidditch pitch
Harry (and Ron) wouldn't have been around for this comparison without Hermione.
Last post. Snape says that the dark arts is always changing, therefore the person fighting it has to also change. I think granger was to rigid. In potions class Harry clearly had superior instructions, She just couldn’t abandon the official ones in her book. I think that sums her up.
I think they’re both reasonably matched. Neither Harry or Hermione really have the edge on the other. Hermione was the better student but, Harry was a very good student as well. The only class he never put the effort into was Divination. While Harry did fail his History of Magic OWL, it wasn’t completely his fault. In the subjects that actually mattered to Harry, he did very well.
This is like the battle between Superman and Batman. Where Harry is Superman and Hermione is Batman.
Hermione was a jack of all trades, master on none type of person. She always struggled with the patronus. Even after she could cast it, she couldn’t pull it off so effortlessly like Harry. Harry’s talent was reactionary, and mastery of a few rather than knowledge of many.
If we are talking about in a fight, I’d take Harry. He’s naturally gifted in dada spells, and could use what he knows effectively. Hermione would be better if we needed a breadth of knowledge. She knew too much.
Granted, power only matters in a duel. When life is on the line. In that situation Harry would win, so the debate is rather moot.
One Born of Knowledge & One Born of Power when Combined into One you get a Friendship that would Last a Lifetime
I feel like it would be like Batman vs. Superman. Hermione as Batman and Harry as Superman. If you just threw them into a fight, Harry prevails. If you give them time to prepare, I think hermione outsmarts Harry
I think Harry is the bettet duelist and also more powerfull while Hermine is the overall more skilled witch. She can cast more spells but Harry can use spells with more power and speed which makes him come out on top in many duels
I'd chalk it up to Hermione having more refined skills versus Harry having more raw power. It would likely be like Obi-Wan versus Anakin.
Or Voldemort vs Dumbledore.
We first need to ask “does being a horcrux strengthen or weaken Harry?” The parselmouth talent was tied to his horcrux. What other talent did he gain? Which did he Lose?
Harry although powerful was taught by some of the greatest and exposed to battles early on, but Hermione was almost a self taught and well prepared. If she has been exposed to other great wizards like harry she would have been a beast. Also she is very very logical and deductive.
Harry. He may not be as knowledgeable as Hermione, but after defeating Voldemort he would have a Moody like reputation which would be power in itself.
Definitely Harry, if Harry actually craved power like albus or Voldemort he probably would have been the most powerful wizard of all time. But he had other priorities on his mind and he thought other things were more important than pursuing power. He had all the natural ability to become the strongest wizard of all time if he truly desired to do so.
Between the 2 of them Herm is likely to come up with a strategy to best the other. HP... What does he do besides point and shoot? I feel like she would do better
I was betting on Hermione too. Your lead up at the end made me think you were going with Harry. I would go with Hermione because her capability was skill, repeatable and growing, while Harry was lucky as you said, but his success was not always expertise.
In a duel without no pressure, hermiome would win. Life or death situation, Harry would win. As he explained to Hermione and ron in Order of Phoneix, its not about memorising a bunch of spells but guts, keeping your head and luck.
Hermione is the epitome of book smart and being prepared. Idk if I would describe her as a particular powerful wizard. However, whatever power she lacked can be made up for with pure knowledge. Then you have Harry. Very little knowledge by comparison. He operates on talent and luck. Magic, like many things, is most effectively used by people with not just talent, but people with great will and drive. Harry spent 11 years being neglected and living under a staircase. Then over the course of 7 years before leaving school had one of the greatest resumes of all time. Hermione will make most wizards/witches look stupid. But sometimes talent can be overwhelming.
Also remember when Harry lost Morty's soul fragment, some of Harry's abilities went away. Some of Harry's ability was Morty's ability while the soul fragment was in Harry.
Harry got Parseltongue from Voldemort, not his ability to do spells
Batman would be happy with this accessment.
I'm going to say they are roughly equal in duels.. When it comes to duels, it comes down to whether or not there is advance notice. If there is advance warning that the duel will happen, Hermione takes the duel. With no warning, Harry takes the win.
Outside of duels, Hermione has the clear edge. Her spells are more versatile as she simply has knowledge of more spells and is much smarter than Harry.
It’s definitely a very close call, I’d slightly edge towards Harry though based off what he’s managed to achieve in his life, and the fact that Hermione learned a lot from him in the DA, so that defo would have been a factor in her being as effective a fighter as she was.
Hermione was brilliant on her own, and still would have been brilliant had the DA not existed, but for me Harry has the slight edge when it comes to duelling, especially if they ever had a 1 vs 1.
It’s sort of like the Messi vs Ronaldo debate in football, you have messi, who like Harry, had insane natural talent, and then Hermione, who like Ronaldo, got there through sheer hard work and determination.
2 similar people who got to where they are through different methods.
The word master gets thrown around a lot. But given how incompetent a lot of the wizards seem the title master has little meaning. Wizards are still baffled by cars by all rights not a recent “muggle” technology.
Hermione definitely. Harry was extremely successful with the patronus, the disarming spell and flying, but he kind of really stunk at the rest. When he was learning accio from Hermione he had a very difficult time mastering it. He couldn't figure out the egg clue, he then couldn't figure out how to breathe underwater, Hermione and Ron worked to prepare him for the maze, the DA was Hermione's idea, she made the coins, she healed a splinched Ron, she cast the protection spells. And unlike Harry and Ron, she actually returned to Hogwarts to finish her schooling rather than take the pass the Ministry offered. She went on to become Minister of Magic. And, without any help even being offered by the Order, she successfully modified her parents memories and send them to safety. And later was able to successfully restore their memories. Hermione was the stronger, but Harry did have those three areas where he excelled no denying.
Some of Hermione’s skills that you listed don’t apply directly to dueling though. I think it kind of depends on if you’re strictly asking the question of “who is more powerful in a duel?” vs “who is more powerful overall?” I think that Harry is undeniably more powerful in a duel given the situations he faced and the fact that he beat Hermione in Defense Against the Dark Arts several times. I don’t think Hermione would have come out on top in the duels Harry faces. You highlighted Hermione’s versatility which I think gives her the edge overall, just not in a duel.
Nothing you mentioned really equates to power though.
Actually, both being able to modify and then restore memories proves she's powerful. Years later healers are still unable to restore memories of those Lockhart stole from. And she did that as a teen without professional training. Harry is definitely more powerful with his two signature spells, but she has way more in her arsenal. Honestly, if she hadn't been muggleborn her cleverness and ruthlessness would have been perfect for Slytherin.
Voldemort was shame for wizards more than Harry was, so beating him was not special deal. Hermoione could cast some spells without wand, when still being 5 or 6 year student
I rather trust a soldier who's been in a war for 5 years than I would a commander who commanded behind the scenes for years. Not one is useless. One needs the other. It's like this. If I were to hire a bodyguard, I rather hire the one with experience, not knowledge.
I honestly don't know I think that hermione is a very intelligent and smart witch which makes her powerful and harry is a really good duelist and he defeated the darkest wizard of all times making him very powerful as well. Many would say harry is more powerful but I think they both are as if it weren't for hermione voldemort would still be there in the Wizarding world. Harry knew what to do and what spells to cast if a death eater would challenge him but hermione would always know what to do if they ever were in trouble. So I think they both are really powerful in there own way . Btw thank you for reading my comment I am a huge harry potter fan.🙂
Yeah, the Death Eaters would've *LOVED* having Hermione Granger as a member...
I’ve felt that Harry was a more powerful wizard, he can cast a patronus charm at age 13 corporeal even. Hermione is more booksmart but wouldn’t last in a fight that long in a fight, she is skilled but her power isn’t as great as his. Hermione is versatile however and can, with preparation fight well, but Harry is a very skilled battlefield tactician and comes up with his plans in the heat of battle, Like Godric Gryffindor himself.
It’s unquestionable that Harry had more achievements. Being one of, if not thee youngest to ever produce a patronus is a huge accomplishment as well. However, even Harry admits it himself during the formation of the DA that he gets lucky, doesn’t know what he’s doing half the time, and almost always has help.
As far as dueling, yes Harry defeated many opponents including Voldemort, but his crutch of using the disarming charm makes it easier for opponents to anticipate his next move and nearly got everyone killed in the battle of the 7 potters. It could be argued that it did contribute to Moody’s death.
With Hermione on the other hand, you never know what to expect going up against her other than you will encounter something that you’ve possibly never seen or heard of before.
Harry had luck, a horcrux within, his mothers loving protection, and help from others to achieve most of his accomplishments. Hermione on the other hand was incredibly powerful through her studies. If she encountered a curse, she probably knew the counter curse. Snape’s potions protecting the philosopher’s stone. Figuring out the monster in the chamber was a basilisk before anyone else, including Dumbledore. There is no way that Harry would have survived without Hermione’s list of accomplishments.
Harry may be slightly more powerful and things come more naturally to him, but if you look at all aspects, Hermione is greater
Hermione through and through. She saved Harry several times. People focus on Harry producing a patronus, and Hermione could do it. She also made a polyjuice potion at 12 years old, which is probably more impressive than the patronus Harry did at 13. Everything else with Harry was luck
We really have no definitive gauge of whether or not conjuring patronus or making polyjuice is harder. And they are both pretty different. One is kinda more about following directions, intuition and finding ingredients and the other is just magical prowess.
I don't think that Hermione's Polly juice is more impressive, since he cast it against a ton of dementors, however Hermione is more powerful, Harry never beat anyone in a duel, other then Voldemort, he lost to Crouch, he lost to the death eaters in the ministry, he lost to the snatchers where Hermione used a spell on him to change his appearance, the only one he beat was Voldemort through his wand which he won through determination, Dumbledore saved him, his wand produced unknown magic, he escaped from Voldemort's snake thanks to Hermione, beat the Malfoy's thanks to surprise, beat Stan, so while Harry is powerful Hermione would win 6-4 duels with Harry wining the first 2 and Hermione starting to gain an edge later on once she has more practice
Hermione is better at potions, yes. But Hermione didn't learn the patronus till 2 years later in Dumbledore's Army, the school year students typically start studying stuff like that but Umbridge.
The only time I recall her saving Harry was at Godrics Hollow.
@@RJMiller73 In Godric's Hollow, and from Devil's snare in book 1.
Harry is more powerful, while Hermione is smarter and have more resources. In a fight to catch the most dangerous death eater for example, Harry would execute the plan but Hermione would create the plan.
Now imagine if both fighting in a duel, Harry would win because he is a better and more experienced duelist.
Even Hermione knew this when she asked him to lead and teach the Dumbledore's Army.
Not meaning to argue, but more powerful is
VERY subjective. Especially in the wizarding world where somebody could make a far more powerful potion than say the other person. and yet the other persons Jinx or curses are far more deadly.
Someone could simply be a better duelist, but literally all of their magical attacks are weaker than their opponent. So if you mean in a dual well it’s Harry most often. Obviously Harry in potions especially with the book lol. If it’s knowledge, Hermione could compete against the entire school. If it’s creating most spells again, her ability dwarfs Harry.
There was a point at seven minutes 33 seconds were you said Hermione was already deadlier. No. She didn’t do anything remotely deadly. Sorry but that just wasn’t ordered correctly. It would be. She was already showing extreme skill. I mean this friendly and I’m sure you’ll probably never read this. But if you do, you’re doing a great job love your channel.
In a safe environment like a classroom Hermione , in the middle of a life and death battle it’s Harry Potter
Who is the better practitioner of magic and who is more powerful are two very different questions. I think it's pretty clear that Harry is more powerful, just as I think it's pretty clear that Hermione is overall more talented in magic as a whole.
B4 watching I'm going to say Harry is more powerful, Hermione is more knowledgeable. Hermione knows more spells, Harry's spells are stronger. Dumbledore has both brilliance and power.
I’d say that Harry is more powerful than Hermione. I mean he fought Voldy in the first movie, then in his second year he defeats a basilisk, third year he produced a potranus when he was only 13, fourth year he defeats a dragon, saved two people in the lake, and fought Voldy again, fifth year he became the teacher of DA, went to the Ministry Of Magic fought death eaters, sixth year discovered about the horcux, went into a dangerous cave and dealt with whatever those monsters in the lake were, seventh year…should I even write down what he had done in the seventh book/movie? Not to mention that he faced his death, came back, and distorted Voldy once and for all. But Hermione is also powerful, but not much as Harry (imo)
yeah, Hermione Granger knows MORE spells than anyone else in her generation, potentially as many as the most learned of witches and wizards. however, I would say the spells that Harry DOES use, he can do at least as well as Hermione. it comes to quantity vs quality
There is no "I" in team... neither of them would have been able to do what they did without eachother. And do not forget Ron in that either. If those three did not team up and work together, Tom would have won. They would not have even survived the first book.
It is valid to compare how powerful each of them is, but now I would like to see a video, that shows how much they depended on eachother. The true power of Harry, Hermione and Ron lies in their friendship and being ready to fight and die for eachother, if needed.
In conclusion I would say, they might be powerful individually, but only together they are unstoppable.
As in intellect, Hermione. As a warrior, Harry. Harry can think on his feet faster than Hermione can read books, so yeah. Let's give it to Harry
Harry is good at the dark arts, but the regular and everyday spells and potions were weak points for him. Hermione is an all around better spell caster, Harry is better at one area of spell casting, but Hermione knows more theory and knowledge of spells and potions than Harry and can cast spell and make potions without making mistakes. Harry is more of a specialist spell caster and Hermione is more of a strong all around general spell caster. They are good complimentary spell casters to each other.
Don’t forget, Harry did have one on one lessons with the Petronous charm and other complicated Magic with the best adult wizards like Snape, Lupin and Dumbledore himself. Hermione had no such help.
Only lupin showed him any magic though. Snape made him a worse occlumens
Harry's Expeliarmus is more powerful than any spell performed by any other witch and wizard.
Harry and Voldemort looked like they were doing hand to hand combat 😬 Harry is just built different
Before watching past 34 seconds I’m going hermione on this if we are talking over all power and not just power against Voldemort Harry isn’t the most diverse spell caster and hermione’s knowledge of most spells would make her my favorite for a straight up duel
I can imagine Dumbledore doing this one thing just a piss off Voldemort pulling out a spoon a metal spoon and deflecting his shots of avocadabra and sending them back while like reading a book so he's not even looking
I agree completely if Harry didn't have his mom love and Volremore power there be no question Hermione would win.
Consider, how poorly she did with Slughorn as a teacher. I would give Harry a slight edge
Hermione is like the batman of this universe. Given prep time, she wins. In terms of sheer intellect and knowledge, she wins easily. Harry has her in raw power output and reflexes, so with no prep time, he wins.
nah in a fight harry mops hermoine
@@samiulhuda4001 I have to give it to Hermione, if she had prep time. Harry is kind of a one trick pony, without the twin cores effect. Against Voldemort he's powerful, and probably unbeatable. Outside of that, Harry is mediocre. Or mid, as the kids say. He has fast reflexes, sure. But Hermione has WAY more knowledge, and much bigger arsenal of spells at her disposal. She'd floor Harry if she knew they were going to be fighting.
@@Zer0_._ No lmao, even if she prepared Harry would mop the floor with her in every way. Harry out skills her in every aspect.
Not all magic she performs is practised beforehand. She has much less time than we think. She only knew theory of memory charms and still pulled that out on first try. She is much better at spellcasting even without hardwork.
Harry wouldn’t have made it half as far as he did, if he didn’t have Hermione as a friend helping him a majority of the time. Harry and Ron would’ve been wiped out by the devil snare straight away without Hermione being there and knowing what to do. It would’ve been game over. In my opinion, Hermione was way more powerful because of her natural born given abilities / powers. Whereas Harry a lot of his powers or gifts were somewhat given to him unintentionally by Voldemort and by his mum’s sacrifice… would Harry of been as nearly as powerful if he didn’t have any of those advantages?! Probably still powerful but nowhere near what he was with the advantages. So I’m my opinion, Hermione and her natural born, given talents, gifts and abilities, makes her more powerful.
What exactly makes one wizard more powerful than another? The number of different spells they know and are capable of casting? How many advanced and difficult spells they can cast? Is being proficient in many areas of magic superior to being extremely skillful in just a few?
When 2 wizards cast the exact same spell like for example conjuring marbles out of thin air can one wizard create only a few marbles and the other create a huge pile of marbles? And if that is possible then what is the cause of differing outcomes? Experience casting the spell? Wand quality? Precision of their wand movement? Or do some wizards just possess greater natural magical ability then others and their spells just automatically outperform the spells of other wizards
They are both Awesome
They're both my favorite
10/10 comment
Ppl say Herm panicked but that was only when she was a girl. She seemed pretty level headed to me under pressure as adult
It feels like Harry is Superman and Hermione is Batman. Harry can achieve amazing feats by ability and flair and looks more flashy than Hermione. But give enough preparation time to Hermione and she can go toe-to-toe with anyone and solve any problem.
I like Hermione more though. I did for more than 20 years now 😊
I think so much of what Harry Did that was impressive with V had to do with his love protection and twin cores. Harry had a lot of cistumstance on his side helping him. Hermoine did it all on her own. If you look at it from the lens of past feats harry wins. but if you look at it as, pure magical ability of the person, hermoine wins.
And poor Ron gets overlooked again. That character is very strong.
Basically this is a battle between knowledge and experience.
I think you’re confusing who is the overall better wizard versus who is the most powerful wizard. Because just because you’re a powerful wizard doesn’t mean you are the better wizard. A boxer for example can have a very powerful punch or combination of punches, but he or she may not be the best boxer because of other skills. Power does not equal better.
I am completely on Team Hermione as she isn't that far behind in raw power but she is far ahead in wit and intelligence. I don't see Harry creating spells, I do see Hermione creating spells. I would put her mind in the same levels as Dumbledore.
Love watching your Harry Potter theory and I’m hoping I can try and watch it soon on digital copy because I like seeing the stuff you post and seeing it in the story and movie
Hermione is far more intelligent, Harry is more powerful as he is battle tested and hardened from his upbringing
My immediate first thought is Harry is more powerful.
She's more knowledgeable, of course, but he's stronger.
I personally feel that if it's books we're talking about Hermione is the more powerful of the two. Because Harry had to actually utilize a lot of his learning, some he didn't learn from classes, I'd say he is more powerful. It's hard to truly know though.
I take the side of Snape that harry is the “chosen” one and is more naturally good while Hermione with hard work and dedication became a great witch. I respect the latter.
If we’re talking about who is more powerful in fighting I’d say harry. But if we’re talking about who is better in overall magic including potions, charms, etc I’d say hermione cause as i remember the only subject harry topped hermione in was DADA and at every other subject she was better.
Hermione Granger , w/o a shred of doubt. Harry couldn't have reached this far w/o Hermione. And she certainly is the better student. Harry needed Hermione's help many times and not the other way round. Harry , at least during the first half of his journey (even with Lupin) was more of a fabled great because he'd defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named/You-Know-Who Lord Voldemort.
And tell me something , as a reality check , do you think Harry could duel Hermione , forget Voldemort ? Dumbledore , Hermione , Snape , Voldemort were all were naturally gifted at their crafts. Still they had to work their way up. Harry , apart from defence against the dark arts had nothing to reflect on wizarding prowess. Except for the 5th year in the Order of the Phoenix , Harry has never been shown as taking charge and trying to learn something. If it weren't for Lily Evans' love he wouldn't have lived to tell the tale. Actually , while I agree that magic is a fictional subject , but Harry Potter's abilities in the entire series boil down to LOVE. Be it fighting the Dementors with a corporal Patronus , or battling Lord Voldemort and coming out alive in the end. Whole , unmutilated soul everything. Can't you see it guys ? The entire Harry Potter series was nothing but a bloated , overblown out-of-proportions LOVE AFFAIR.
Did Hermione ever join the Aurors? I thought she joined the magical law enforcement department.
Harry has more power behind his spells but Hermione has more skill, and skill can compensate for up to 3x the power difference. So unless Harry is 4x stronger, then Hermione would win.
I think Harry has more latent magical power, but Hermione is more skilled, its like Naruto and Saskue, the naturally gifted one vs the hard working one.
