Ok. They are THIRTEEN. Hermione did the right thing. Hermione did the thing that we WANT kids to do, go to an adult. Saying that it's controlling sends the opposite message so kids won't do the right thing when it comes to say, abuse or cutting (Self-harm) of another person.

It even played out realistically this way in the book. Hermione told McGonagall about the Firebolt, McGonagall checked it over, it was fine, Harry got the broom back. BUT Harry and Ron socially punished Hermione. Her message, don't go to adults even if things turn okay. AKA Don't be a tattle tale.

So, YEAR FIVE, Umbridge comes along with her Dark Quill and uses it to punish the students. NO ONE TELLS Dumbledore. Not even HERMIONE. Why? Harry asked her not to do so. And she'd already done this "betrayal" thing once, and he punished it for it. So, she didn't do it again even though we KNOW Dumbledore would have stopped it.

It's not controlling behavior. It's called integrity and doing the right thing no matter what. Saying Hermione was 'controlling' is undermining the whole movement against bullying and abuse and those who self-harm so they can get HELP.

So it's okay to take agency away from bullied and marginalized kids as long as you're very smart and think that you know what's best for them. Got it.

So to be clear, you're saying that Hermione did the wrong thing in the Firebolt instance? And you think there's never a case where it's necessary or justified to take away someone's agency in their own interest?
