    Hermione is constantly made fun of for being anti slavery and her movement does nothing. The whole thing is treated like a joke, a pie in the sky fancy of someone who doesn’t understand how the real world works.

      Which is true in real life too so I don’t see the issue. Think of climate activists and how they’re treated in the US. Or those supporting socialist policies like right to housing or food. They are treated as an absolute joke, just for wanting to do the right thing at the expense of those in power.

      If I had to pick a character who does the right thing more often than anyone, it’s probably Hermione.
