Hermione voou no primeiro livro, quando os três tentavam pegar a chave encantada e novamente sair:
"You drink that," said Harry. "No, listen, get back and get Ron. Grab brooms from the flying-key room, they'll get you out of the trapdoor and past Fluffy..."
Mas ela realmente não queria voar desde o começo:
"Stick out your right hand over your broom," called Madam Hooch at the front, "and say 'Up!'"
"UP!" everyone shouted.
Harry's broom jumped into his hand at once, but it was one of the few that did. Hermione Granger's had simply rolled over on the ground, and Neville's hadn't moved at all. Perhaps brooms, like horses, could tell when you're afraid, thought Harry...
E na DH, ch. 4; os Sete Potters:
'Miss Granger with Kingsley, again by Thestral -'
Hermione looked reassured as she answered Kingsley's smile; Harry knew that Hermione, too, lacked confidence on a broomstick.
