I agree with this secret at least in the sense that ime, Harry Potter fandom idolizes Hermione and puts her on a pedestal where they seem incapable of even acknowledging her flaws.

Like morieris points out, Hermione is vindictive and violent, and I always got the impression from the books that Rowling treated it like a quirk because there weren't really ever any consequences for her actions.

Hermione can be quite terrifying in her own right, and it does a disservice to her character to treat her and talk about her like a perfect goddess who never did anything wrong in her entire life.

Yeah, agreed. I personally like her as a character, but the fandom things about how "Hermione actually did everything and was just held back by the boys" (often in the name of some sort of feminism) really bother me, too.
But then, fandom these days really likes screaming YASS QUEEN at things, it seems.

OP

This post (and the one below!) is basically my brain when writing the secret. Thank you!

She's still a favourite character, but this attitude was one of several reasons I jumped the H/Hr ship. Like, I don't care how much you quote Rowling's "she wandered off on her own", it won't magically make her the "actual heroine" of the books and thus H/Hr the perfect ~feminist~ ship she deserves instead of "getting stuck with the sidekick".
