It's sad when women who claim to be feminists see a female character whose intelligence is valued by her male friends and often relied on for help in hard situations, and think she's only being taken advantage of.

They rarely if ever tell her they value her intelligence, though, much less her friendship apart from what she does for them. They look to her when they need something, then rarely thank her, then go back to doing whatever they want without actually trying to be a decent friend back to her.

I mean, they've all saved each others' lives multiple times (they rescued her from a troll, they used her research about petrification to figure out the CoS thing). Just because they didn't help HER academically doesn't mean they were not good friends (barring the tiffs they ALL had with each other - Ron and Harry anyone?) or that they weren't grateful for her help?

THIS.

I could quote the books at you but. fff, go back and reread.

Ron straight up says "I love you Hermione" bc she helps him with homework, Harry and Ron always show their appreciation to her in a way they don't even do to each other except in life or death situations.

I'm guessing you don't have any real friends because you play this tit-for-tat game, dude. Because this is a stupidly unhealthy way to view things.

Either that or you're a troll.

Not only but also: I think Hermione does Ron and Harry more of a disservice when she does their homework than they do her by letting her. I get really sick of the St. Hermione of fandom. She could say no when they ask her for help. Given how ~intelligent and ~mature she is, she should know that she's not really helping when she does things for them. Maybe it's just me, but I read her motives as 1) really liking to do homework, 2) wanting a platform to boss the boys around, and 3) wanting to keep the ledger constantly balanced so that she's done more for them than vice versa. I love Hermione, but she is a bossy, manipulative little authoritarian.

It's only homework

(Anonymous) 2018-12-07 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
there's a theory that saving her from the troll put her into a life debt magical bond with Harry and Ron. Meaning, she can't say no. Literally. Being mature and intelligent won't help with this. If they ask her to do something, she "has" to do it.

Which is pretty fucked up. Not canon stated but given how magic seems to work in the universe, possibly true.
