I would say herminoe because she has had more practiced with the spells and she knows more about defending herself more than harry does.
Aw geez. This tough. As you can tell from my profile picture I am a big Hermione fan, but I will be honset on this one. I think it would be a long battle. Spells shooting everywhere, deflected spells bouncing back and forth. They are pretty evenly matched. Harry has a natural talent and all, and he has lots of luck on his side, but Hermione has the knowledge on Harry's fighting weaknesses and how to use them. But she would hold back also , sense she is friends with him. Harry would do the same but not as mush as Hermione would hold back. But I think Harry would win. My reasons? Hermione has a nasty habit of thinking TOO much before acting. She would either over strati or hold back and let him win in fear that she would hurt Harry. Harry wouldn't have such issues (the "what if I hurt her" deal would slow him down at first but he would move on) and he would win by a little "Stupify" or something. But it would be very close. But honesty, Hermione would toatly kick his luck butt if she was his enemy/really ticked at him. That is what I think. LONG LIVE HERMIONE AND HARRY POTTER!!!!
Hermione, absolutely. Harry won against Voldemort because of extenuating circumstances. Hermione's sharp as a whip, and, as we saw with the DA, she's quite a strong dueler for it. Harry's pretty good with Defense, but I never thought there was a doubt that she was better.
As much as I hate to say it (because I love Hermione) but I think in a duel Harry would win. Hermione knows so much. She's extremely book smart and good at what she does. However, everything she does know was learned. She studied hard and mastered it yes, but in my opinion dueling is an extremely instinctual thing. Harry is a natural due to the knowledge he shares with Voldemort. Yes, he fought V several times but also, when the curse rebounded and Harry himself became a Horcrux complete with a bit of V's soul, he picked up parseltongue as well as a inert knowledge of every duel Voldemort himself ever fought. Harry would win this one.

I am afraid I have to disagree, Kimber. When Voldemort died, he took that part of him in Harry with him. I not saying Hermione would win, I am just saying his soul was extracted of all traces of Voldemort. But Harry would still win, from my reasons listed in my review. :-)

Thats a tough one! they both are unique in their own way. However i would have to go with Harry, even though i love hermonie soo much!
Remember, guys, we're not only applying defense against the dark arts here...even though Harry got an outstanding in his O.W.L and Hermione got an E, Hermione outshone him in charms and transfiguration. We can see from the movies and books that those categories have a huge impact in fighting. Harry may be stronger, but Hermione is more level-headed.
Hermione. Harry defeated Voldemort because he had something he didn't, but Hermione knows love and lot more spells than Harry.

ALL the spells are important in a duel. Each can have a significant impact on one's opponent.
but experience is much more important than knowledge, and harry definitely has that over hermione. and harry's not too bad in the knowledge or skill department either. so if the question is between hermione with her smarts and harry with his experience PLUS smarts (even if not as much) then harry would win.plus i think that harry has better instincts than hermione - which is more important than level-headedness, especially in a duel.

Hermione GIRL POWER GUYS GIRL POWER!!!

This is my take on it. During the first 3 years at Hogwarts, Hermione would wipe the floor with him. But after that, I would definitely say Harry. Harry begun to learn darker magic and even begun to excel in all (not just DADA) his classes. You see, Harry aspires to become an Auror. He then moved up in the ranks and even became Head of Auror's in the Ministry. This proves that not only was he good At DADA/DA but he was also excellent/perfect (if you're ahead of Auror's) at the required subjects to become an Auror (Charms, Transfiguration, Potions and DADA/DA. Compare this to Hermione now. Sure, she was high up in the Ministry, but she devoted the rest of her life to S.P.E.W which really doesn't require any magical ability. Harry, on the other hand still learns new spells because of his job as Auror. Well, I hope I convinced you that Harry would win :)

J.K Rowling already said this even before the Article was released to the public. *Hermione Voice* Honestly, don't you even read?
HURMIONE WOULD TOTALY PWN HURRY IN THE WAND FLINGING ACTIVITY
Paula wrote: "Harry would win. He beat Voldemort so he is capable of beating Hermione."I definitely agree with this. Hermione might be smart, but Harry has had more practice with this area of magic. Now if you're talking potions...
I think Harry's way stronger than hermione, but Hermione's smarter so I think she would win, she would make a divine move or something like that and totally beat Harry ;)
Know thy enemy (or dueling adversary). Hermione knows Harry better than he knows himself. But Harry over Hermione. Hermione being Rawlings tool for exposition.He would try something unpredictable (something someone else brought to his attention) and try to catch her off guard. He would get first blow. She would use stuff he knows, perhaps forgot, but in a more clever and surprising manner. He would get mad, recall an image of his parents, and do some major, barely remembered, counter-attack but collapse from exhaustion due to the effort. A surprised Hermione would be defeated, barely. But she would be impressed by Harry's resolve and embrace him. Call him "bloody incredible." Harry would smirk and pass out.
Paula wrote: "Harry would win. He beat Voldemort so he is capable of beating Hermione."Harry only beat Voldemort because Voldy could not use the Elder Wand against his owner. Without that advantage, there's no way Harry would ever win against Hermione.
Definetely Harry. Hermione is more logical and book-smart but she can lose her cool in a crisis situation for example, when Harry and Ron were being attacked by that plant that was choking them in the first book, Hermione knew that light would counter the plants attack. She started to panic and look for wood, and Ron had to scream at her to use her wand to make a light "Are you a witch or not?". Even Ron had more presence of mind than she did there and he was the one being attacked.
Hermione. Harry won over dark forces time and again because his goodness was a stronger force than their evil. But in a harmless duel between friends, Hermione's cleverness would beat Harry's good-but-not-great wand work.

I think that Hermione would win. I mean, Harry is good at defensive magic, but he doesn't know nearly as many spells as Hermione, and therefore he wouldn't expect many of the spells that she could throw at him. I'm not saying that Harry could not win, but I think that Hermione has a better chance given her superior knowledge of spells.
J.K. Rowling. Her fans would buy another fifty million books to find out the answer.
Who taught the DA in their 5th year? 'Nuff said
i dont know i love them both soooooo much
Hermione KNOWS more but Harry's got faster reflexes. I want to say he's got better instincts too, but I can't. Because Sirius.
Bottom line is that we haven't seen hermione in action as far as dueling nearly as much as we've seen Harry. And we know that he's good at it - even if he doesn't have the most knowledge he has the most inborn talent and again the most experience. He has a sixth sense of knowing the crux of the battle and using it to his advantage. Hermione in practicality, on paper, seems like she would win. But she's not cut out for this type of instinctual battling - her first instinct is to run to the library, and if that fails her she's
lost in what to do next. Harry may not seem the best in the classroom but he's always been on
his toes when it comes down to it. He's an unbelievable seeker, has killer instincts, and somehow always manages to get the upper hand in a battle. This can only be luck the first couple of times; after that, there has to be something else going on.
Despite the fact that hermione had all the smarts and possibly knew more jinxes, hexes, and defense enchantments, Harry was chosen to run the da. Because Harry had real experience and the obvious instinct that everyone saw in him. Since he was a child he was bred to take down one of the most powerful wizards in history. His fighting skills are honed to the sharpest point and he has an uncanny instinct of self preservation. And that's what matters in duel, much more than book smarts or a large repertoire of jinxes.

Then Harry, with his dueling know-how and reflexes, and she would both be at a standstill until Harry would catch Hermione off her guard or she would try a new spell on him.
Based on the previous previous comment, I think that it would be Harry that would win because he knows more tricks and has done more dueling than Hermione.
I agree. Harry got too far only because of luck and friends. In a straight duel Hermione is most likely to steal the spotlight.
Hermione I guess knowledge is more important than luck

Well, Its more than merely being the Chosen one which makes Harry Potter the true protagonist of the novel. It is his determination, will power and the immense thirst to prove himself. Hermione knows a lot about spells, magical creatures, potions and all. This knowledge of hers proved handy for the trio at different situations, making her the smartest witch of her age. But in a one to one duel, if its important to win, Harry Potter owing to is exceptional qualities is more likely to steal the spotlight.
Luna Belle Pris wrote: "If I remember correctly Hermione got an E and Harry got an O on their report cards for DADA... just saying. I think Harry is better at dueling and Hermione is better at problem solving, so Harry wo..."This is true but also Hermoine bested Harry in all other subjects which can also be applied very usefully in a real duel. For reference, when Dumbledore duels Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic, they use transfiguration and certain charms to battle each other with sand and then they animate statues just as is done in the Deathly Hallows. So to be in a truly talented and interesting duel, you need to excel in transforming your landscape not just the formalities and specific attack and defensive spells taught in DADA. In Dumbldore's army however, Harry does hint at this and thats another benefit to the Room of Requirement, it is a versatile environment perfectly capable of containing any duel or spell.
That's hard. I mean Hermione is the smartest witch in the grade, but Harry learned a lot from experience, so I think personally it would be really close. I think Hermione would eventually end up winning though. It would be a long battle, and Harry knows how to do a lot from fighting Voldemort and stuff, but Hermione knows how to use advantages
Harry had always better grades at DADA so probably Harry.
I think Hermione would win even though Harry is very talented Hermione is clever!
if they actually got into a duel. i would put my money on Hermione. she can master any spell. but harry has been in more duels than her.
Hermione has more knowledge but Harry has more experience. I think it would depend on the setting, but I feel that as long as Harry kept on his toes, he'd beat her out of knowledge gained from experience, even if she knows more spells.
Hermione would be completely outmatched facing Harry.
