I think I get it. Yes, I was referring to the character of Hermione overall, who's one of my favorite characters. JKR says she identifies with Hermione, which has always made it sort of surprising that she hung back as much as she did, and was so often overwhelmed by what was going on. (With exceptions, of course.)

But my gosh, in this book, again and again she *instantly* does the right thing. You're wondering why H and R aren't turning her every 5-10 minutes and saying, "Well, anyway, thank God for you!"

lol Yes she is! And, they are!

I like Hermione, too. I like them all. I just had hoped that Rowling would have Ron shine a little brighter in this book, considering this is the climax to the whole epic.

I think that as soon as she knew they would be hunting horcruxes, she got a ton of books and looked for what might be useful (the bag, of course and the protective charms). That girl is a thinker and is always well prepared.
