Noticed something as someone who likes both Harry and Hermione. Harry fans usually like or are neutral to Hermione. Now I don’t read every Harry ship out there, but Hermione bashing is relatively rare in the ships I do read. The same can’t be said for many Hermione fans/shippers

Most Harry fans I know love Hermione or at least do acknowledge her pivotal role in helping him win the war against Voldemort, as well as keeping him alive. Many of us are Hermione fans too and those who are not, many do admire her smarts, resourcefulness, loyalty, quest for house elf rights, etc.

Hermione haters may exist among Harry fans, but thankfully they are few enough that I have not come across them.

But I have noticed something in many Hermione shippers—they don’t like Harry much. They think he’s incompetent, idiotic, foolish, and a below-average dude.

Why’s this?
