THE BOOK : Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series

Describe and compare the individuals that you have observed with what would be considered typical for that particular age group. Were you surprised by any of your reading? Discuss the variability that you observed among your subjects. What does this tell you about the difference between average and normal (i.e., do kids have to be the same to be developing normally)? If your observation was of a fictional character, how accurate do you think the portrayal was? Do you think that the characters of children and adolescents that we see and read about are generally a good representation of real life? Do you think that adolescence and young adulthood is sometimes dramatized to make them more interesting than real life? If you observe actual children that you know, feel free to change or omit their names.
