It's also fun how half the time Hermione is a "genius" because she points out something any observant reader figured out pages ago but the characters are weirdly oblivious to, and the other half she pulls something completely out of her ass that JKR just made uphttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1314838073662996481 …

You've got to be juuuuuust one step ahead of the Watson so you figure it out *right* before they do and you get to feel satisfied and clever

If you're, like, ten miles ahead of them all the time (or if conversely everyone's constantly ahead of you jumping to conclusions they didn't adequately explain to a reader of your level of education) then you're just gonna be fucking bored the whole time and throw the book away

It's fun to compare Watson, who has his own area of expertise and is usually reasonably on the ball, to Captain Hastings from the Poirot stories, who is so oblivious while also being smug that you want to grab him and shake him
