## How to identify each version

- **Unlimited holo portrait premium**: English Diagon Alley Hermione, Top Student, card 18/80, with Holo Portrait Premium finish.
- **Unlimited non-holo rare**: English Diagon Alley Hermione, Top Student, card 18/80, normal finish with Rare rarity and no holo portrait effect.

**Identity note:** Seed identity retained. Set code normalized to DA. The opened reference lists English holo portrait premium and English normal rare printings, plus several non-English printings that should not be merged.

## Why this card matters

Hermione, Top Student is one of the named character rares in Diagon Alley, and the opened set page identifies Hermione among the set's notable holo portrait premium chase cards. The individual card page lists Hermione as a Witch, Gryffindor, and Unique character. Its demand evidence should be tied to the exact card, finish, and language rather than to Hermione collectibles generally, because Harry Potter cards span multiple manufacturers and formats.

## Identifying the exact version

The exact identity is DA 18/80, Hermione, Top Student. The opened reference separates English holo portrait premium and English normal rare printings and also lists French, German, Italian, and Japanese versions. A marketplace title saying Hermione or Top Student is not enough; the listing photos and item specifics should confirm Diagon Alley, 18/80, English, and whether the card is holo portrait premium or normal rare.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

The opened dated sale found here was an English raw holo portrait copy sold for US $55.00 on August 31, 2026 and described as lightly played or excellent. That does not establish a PSA, CGC, or BGS value, and it does not price the normal rare printing. For this card, character demand, finish, raw condition, and grader/grade should be treated as separate inputs before building a price range.

## Authenticity checks

Use the opened reference to confirm the DA set, 18/80 number, Hermione, Top Student name, English language, and the correct finish. For raw cards, inspect corners, edge whitening, surface scratches, print lines, and the back image rather than relying on a seller's near-mint statement. For graded cards, verify the cert and compare the holder to the listing photos because PSA warns that cert numbers alone do not prove the physical slab is genuine.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** Every Hermione TCG card can be priced together. **What the evidence says:** Hermione, Top Student is Diagon Alley 18/80, distinct from Base Set Hermione Granger and Chamber of Secrets Hermione, Potion Maker.
- **Myth:** The holo and non-holo rare are the same market. **What the evidence says:** The opened checklist separates Holo Portrait Premium and Normal Rare printings, so comps should remain separate.
- **Myth:** One raw holo sale establishes the PSA 10 value. **What the evidence says:** A raw lightly played sale does not establish a graded gem-mint value; grading outcomes depend on condition and grader standards.
