I just want to point out that the characters in HP were taken out of the British Education system at what. 11? I'm not surprised that knowledge about world wars and guns slipped the cracks when she was reading all the books on magic.My least favorite character by the end of reading Deathly Hallows (and finishing the dry heaving) was Hermione Granger. Harry's the designated "Retarded Noble Git" by that point, so he's unsalvageable, but Hermione's supposed to be the brainy one????
*insert Obi-Wan "You were the Chosen One!" clip here*
If a thrown object can hurt a wizard, that shows kinetic weaponry can harm wizards. And guess what growing up in the last years of the Cold War mean? Lots of curricula about the Cold War... and WWII... and WWI, which meant automatic weapons and their effects on exposed targets would be a Big Deal. And being bookish... the absolute best excuse I can come up with for Hermione not deciding to use guns is "British, thus gun control laws and public consciousness are less gun-happy".
You decide your parents are too stupid to make their own decisions because you're completely kool-aided into believing wizards are superior. That's understandable because Teenage Idiocy.
You fail to recognize a war of genocide (which you should be very well-read in) and take the appropriate responses? And you're supposed to be the bright one?
Each particular bit of stupidity is comprehensible or rationalizable, if barely. But put together and ascribed to THE BRAINY ONE?
I spit at Rowling's portrayal of a "competent" female. Because everyone knows that when it comes down to the wire, the female of the species is far more dangerous than the male.
