i love this list, but it’s not complete without the harry potter series! hermione is such an awesome and strong main character, but rowling also weaves in so many strong women in varying roles throughout the series… tonks, lily potter, professor mcgonagall, molly weasley, ginny weasley, luna lovegood… on and on. there isn’t a bella swan among them (thankfully).

My 11-year-old daughter and I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, (part 1) this weekend. Hermoine and Ron have a devastating fight that ended with Ron leaving and Hermoine visibly upset. In the next scene, however, Hermoine is working hard to find a horcrux. My 11-year-old daughter says: “Hermoine just had a horrible fight with her boyfriend, doesn’t know if he’s coming back or not, and she’s composed herself and is working hard to continue searching with Harry for the horcrux. Isn’t she great, Mom?”

Love this post. Inspiring me to create it as a topic for my Tuesday BookList meme in the future.

Great list of strong female characters. Katniss and Stargirl are two favorites!
