I think JK Rowling has made Hermione look like a female teenage
version of Simon Wiesenthal in her latest book. While Hermione has
no qualms about Confounding Cormac MacLaggen during the Quidditch
tryouts, she scolds Harry for slipping Felix Felicis (a
steroid-like potion) into Ron's pumpkin juice before the opening
match. In actual fact, Harry pretended to do it, but Ron's mood did
improve for the rest of the day.
As for Simon Wiesenthal, I applaud the work his foundation is doing
to hunt down Nazi war criminals who escaped prosecution in the
aftermath of World War II. However, his support for the Israeli
army's massacre of Palestinian civillians, notably children, is
disturbing and may be a stumbling block in the war on terror.
Notice the parallels between these two characters?
