Hermione has magic blood. Just not from her parent and I think grandparents.
In the potterverse, you have to be a descendant of a wizard to be a wizard.

So... sorcerers.

No. Wizards. They just don't match up well to D&D. You also don't have to be descended from a bloodline. A muggle can spontaneously develop magic and people in wizard families sometimes don't have the talent.
Sorcerers just intuitively know how to do the words and motions for spells. Nobody in the Potterverse can do that. They have to study/be taught to learn the words and motions. Wizards.

For D&D, the Potterverse wizards approximate as D&D spell point Wizards that can gain a spellcasting benefit from Charisma.

Charisma has nothing to do with Potterverse casting. Nothing. You had uncharismatic powerful wizards and charismatic weak ones. Intelligence decided things, because that enabled you to learn the words and motions. Wizardry.

Harry derives his magical potency from his Charisma. He is a powerful mage in his own right, beyond his parental protection spell and magic items. His spells are strong, but few.
Meanwhile, Hermione notably relies on her Intelligence, with many spells known and erudite with spellbooks.
No you need to be a descendant of a wizard. It's a major aspect of the universe. The insult of a Mudblood is bringing up that you acestor dirtied up their bloodied by getting with Muggles.
Wizard families not having non-casting children, squig or squibs or something,is due to them not having pure wizard blood.
Potterverse magic isn't strengthen by intelligence. You go to school to learn how to do the spells. Then it's just practice and attunement. That's why even idiots can do magic there.
I don't think that's true. The most common story for wild mages is you don't know what the heck you are doing and have to learn one wildsurge at a time or some arcanist teaches to control you powers.

Wikipedia, Magic in Harry Potter:
"
Exceptions exist: those unable to do magic who are born to magical parents are known as Squibs, whereas a witch or wizard born to Muggle parents is known as a Muggle-born.
"
If so:
Material Plane = muggle
Fey Plane = wizardworld
So, the wizard-born are Fey, essentially Elves with an innate aptitude for magic. But Humans can still do it, at least some can.

He knows quite a few spells and gets none of it from charisma. He is also very intelligent and that is commented on.
And she has low charisma.
They aren't sorcerers. Harry is a smart wizard with decent charisma. Hermione is an even smarter wizard with a low charisma.
