I'm convinced. Hermione needs her own book. She does so much legwork, provides endless support and solves issues that we only see wrapped in a a one page summary. For the life of me, I cannot see how Ron and Hermione end up together. Especially with how little he actually pays attention to her.

That's beef no 1. Hermione spends all her time at the beginning of the book in the library doing research. Harry and Ron just accept this and don't even bother to find out what she is doing? And then when they do, they dismiss her idea. Hello, how many times does she have to prove to you that she knows what she is doing!!!

And she essentially keeps Harry on track for preparing for task 3.

I love love love that no matter what others think, she continues on doing what she wants and knows is right. Stick with it Hermione!!! Although-- what happened to her free the elves campaign. It kind of when silent.

I will be interested to see if Mad Eye Moony is in the next book ( I know I've watched the movies, but I seriously can't remember his role in the events. I even forgot about it in this book) I sense that he will be, but I am not sure in what capacity.
