Before choosing Gryffindor, which house did the Sorting Hat consider putting Hermione in?
Answer Ravenclaw
It makes sense that the Sorting Hat thought Hermione fit for life as a Ravenclaw; after all, it's the house for the brightest and brainiest Hogwarts students. Hermione had different plans. She wanted to be part of Gryffindor because of its second-most-famous alumnus: Albus Dumbledore.
