That’s why I said “in real world terms”. Not a lot of genius horcruxes to bestow in the real world. Or partial transfiguration powers to exercise. Or bigger, harder, longer, and more throbbing midichlorians pulsing through your blood.
Hermione has real world admirable characteristics. Real world Hermiones prosper, and help those around them prosper.
In real world terms, Harry competed at the national level and Hermione didn’t. We saw her getting better grades at a school of magic, are we still talking about real world terms? He was going to be a world famous scientist studying molecular nanotech, and if she had any ambitions beyond passing tests, we don’t know it.
The problem with this notion of seeing story characters in real world terms is that you have to apply it evenly. Translated to real world terms, while a HPJEV hasn’t inherited a genius’ brain patterns, he’s still a prodigy for the ordinary reasons that produce prodigies in the real world. Which is why I spoke of lotteries.
I get what you’re saying, but I dunno, in real world terms Harry competed at the national level and Hermione didn’t. She did better than him at a school of magic.
