JKR on Hermione:
"Yeah, she's a good girl Hermione...But in some ways Hermione has - she's more of a rule breaker now, where her convictions are concerned she's prepared to do stuff that she's really not supposed to. So, in that sense, she will lighten up, I promise you, I did in the end." (CBBCNews)
