Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

This appearance represents Hermione Granger during her fourth year at Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, highlighted most famously by her breathtaking entrance at the Yule Ball. Stepping into the Great Hall during Hogwarts' hosting of the Triwizard Tournament, Hermione stuns her fellow students—most notably Ron Weasley and Harry Potter—by descending the grand staircase as the date of Durmstrang champion Viktor Krum. Beyond the ball, this version captures her active involvement throughout the story, from waking Harry after his dark dreams to coaching him through spellwork for the tournament tasks. She acts as a steadfast emotional anchor and mediator during the rift between Harry and Ron following Harry's unexpected selection by the Goblet of Fire, while also standing up for magical creatures at the Quidditch World Cup campsite and in the castle halls.

The fourth year is a major emotional and magical milestone for Hermione Granger. Emotionally, her appearance at the Yule Ball serves as a coming-of-age moment that forces her peers—especially Ron Weasley—to see her as an individual young woman rather than just a studious classmate, sparking romantic tension and jealousy that carries through the series. Magically and academically, Hermione's guidance is vital to Harry's survival in the Triwizard Tournament; she tirelessly teaches him complex magic such as the Summoning Charm (Accio) used to overcome the Hungarian Horntail dragon. Furthermore, her strong moral crusade leads her to found S.P.E.W. (Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare) to advocate for house-elf rights, and her intellect enables her to catch malicious tabloid reporter Rita Skeeter as an unregistered Animagus beetle.

Hermione's visual design in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is defined by both her everyday student look and her iconic Yule Ball ensemble. Designed for Emma Watson in the 2005 film adaptation directed by Mike Newell, her Yule Ball dress features a multi-tiered pink silk chiffon gown styled with delicate ombre ruffles and a satin waist sash. Departing from her signature bushy hair, her locks are styled in a soft, elegant updo with face-framing curls. Alongside her ball attire, this version includes her standard Gryffindor Hogwarts uniform—consisting of her sweater, pleated skirt, tie, and black robes—as well as mid-2000s casual muggle clothing worn during the Quidditch World Cup and off-duty school hours.
