"But you're Muggles! We must have a drink! What's that you've got there? Oh, you're changing Muggle money. Molly, look!"
Arthur Weasley upon meeting the Grangers[src]

Granger was the surname of a Muggle family that must have had some distant magical blood. Member Hermione Granger was a Muggle-born witch, and her children, Rose and Hugo Granger-Weasley were half-bloods.

Family history[]

On September 19th, 1979, Mr and Mrs Granger had their first and only child, Hermione Jean Granger. Hermione's parents were both dentists and were accepting of the wizarding world and proud of her accomplishments.[2] In 1997, Hermione modified their memories so that they believed they were Wendell and Monica Wilkins and moved to Australia in order to protect them from Death Eaters.[7] After the Second Wizarding War ended, she found them and restored their memories.[8]

The Grangers were related by marriage to the wizarding Weasley, Prewett, Potter, Black, Delacour, and Johnson families.[9]

Etymology[]

The surname Granger is derived from grange, a term for a barn or farm with buildings that store grain, thus 'granger' is a term for a farm bailiff. Also, "Granger" is a term for a member of the Grange Movement of the United States, which involved agricultural activism in the nineteenth century, possibly alluding to Hermione Granger's activism on behalf of house-elves.
