It's an interesting question. When the scripts were made for movies, this is the first question JKR asked the screenwriter, and she was relieved to heard the answer was Hermione, as that was who she felt she was.
If I was going to answer... I started out as Snape and slowly transformed into Lupin (with a slight dash of Fred and George). First you blame others for your problems, and then you learn to deal with them.

Lupin, because I tended to hang in the background of my group of friends, with the anal-retentiveness of Hermione, who I think to be very task-oriented.

I had a very hard time figuring out an answer to this question. I read the thread, thought about it, wandered off, came back, still no idea. I've figured out why, though: As a child, if I were at Hogwarts, I wouldn't be in the book. So my answer is: An unnamed Ravenclaw student who never had any noticable interaction with any of the main characters, got good marks, and probably had a crush on Hermione.
If you change it to which character are you now, I'm Dumbledore (only without so much power). Though I look more like Sirius Black.

I haven't really been able to relate to any HP characters. I'd probably be one who's name was mentioned once or twice but was never really important.

Hermione. I liked to read a lot... Harry because I didn't have a whole lot of friends and Dumbledore because I was just plan weird.

I was trying to figure out what house I was in the other day. I figured I had about equal chances in all, but that I wouldn't be in Slytherine for the same reason Harry isn't. I think I need to know that before I know which character I am.
Probably an early Hermione, though. I love to read and I'm very nervous about breaking rules. On the other hand, I'm very disorganized and I don't study much (though I have a feeling that's about to change).

I'm a Lupin too. He seems very soft-spoken and certainly a follower in his group of friends. Smart like Hermione but without the psychotic need to succeed.

I've always found myself to be somewhat cryptic, confusing, and weird. Along with expressionless. So do others. So I'm a definite Albus Dumbledore .

Hermione, all the way. VERY unattractive until around age 14-15, too. (Which has always been my major problem with young Miss Watson -- way too pretty. How about something to make her teeth unattractive???)

That's exactly what I thought of for myself.

Most definitely Luna Lovegood -- i lived in my own dream world, was very socially inept and outwardly unaware of others making fun of me, but always had a sense that i didn't quite fit in.
a little of Hermoine's bookishness and Ron's awkwardness thrown in there, and poof! Me!

Now that I think about it. I was Luna like too... lots of people teased me, and I am still stupidly honest.

Hermione. Always with my nose in a book and always willing to share what I knew with anyone and everyone - even if they weren't all that willing for me to share with them.

I think I'm most like pre-Hogwarts Harry, maybe, but with a little Hermione bookishness thrown in. I've always sorted into Gryffindor and that seems right to me.

I was Luna, too, if I was anyone. I'd love to say Hermione, but she's almost preternaturally socially adept. I was nothing close to that.

Hermione, with a dash of Neville. I was also that kid who had to answer _every_ question before anyone else. To the point that the teacher would purposely wait until someone else had an answer.
I always figured myself for Gryffindor (who doesn't?) or Hufflepuff.

Bill. The cool nerd from hell!!! Weird but not too flashy, quite likeable and a big-sister figure to quite a few people (despite being the youngest in my own family). I care a lot about others and am most likely to land myself into the h-... Oh dear, a spoiler almost escaped my keyboard. Whew.

I'm still a child. Probably Harry, since I was ggod-willed, a prankster, hated by Malfoy, and I really adored the characters of F&G.
I hate being identified with a book hero. Bleaugh! (Wow, that last vomit-sound looks very French-spelt!)

A laughingstock, not quite able to get anything right, one step away from greatness in every direction and constantly having that held over my head...

Harry Potter, I HAD that look with the classes and jet black hair, then I got better looking glasses and gained a little weight but I HAD THE LOOK!!!!

Hermione. I even had the buck teeth and bushy hair till I cut my hair at 14 and wore braces for 5 years till the age of 16.

Ever the "know it all bookworm" Hermione, with a dash of Luna's quirkiness, a lump of Ron's disorganized cluelessness, a smidge of Ginny's athletecism, and (I'm not proud to admit) a drop of Snape's vindictive thoughts. I would either be a Griffyndor or a Hufflepuff.
Now I would be a lot of Hermione, a bit of Ron, and a whole lot of Luna since I'm somewhere in a dreamworld most of the time.

I definitely have Luna's knack of blurting out true things that aren't very politic. But I guess I identify more with early Harry than anyone else in the books, even though bits of Hermione remind me of me too.

That was fun! Apparently I'm Professor Dumbledore now, although perhaps not as a younger version of me . . . this is especially exciting as he's my date choice in the other thread. Posts: 834 | Registered: Jun 2005

Primarily Lupin, with a bit of Hermione's rule-following and a lot of her bookishness. And a bit of anti-Luna (I'm very defensive to criticism, no matter how I try not to be).

Yeah. My hand was in the air all the time, too. In the third grade, Mrs. French got so that she wouldn't ever call on me a) because she knew I knew the answer (well, I did most of the time), and b) because she knew that if she let me have the floor (those were her exact words, I believe), she'd never get it back. Gosh, I was an obnoxious little kid sometimes.
