CMV: Hermione wasn't actually a very good wizard/witch

There is an art trope that "your technique is perfect" is the ultimate dis.  Hermione was extremely smart and had done tons of reading/research.  She had perfect technique.  Yet she never actually made anything magical. Tons of characters in Harry Potter make all kinds of magical stuff. Many even make their own spells and potion recipes. She get's frustrated at Harry when he uses Snape's old book to make perfect recipes because they aren't exactly what the regular book says.  Perfect technique is not what makes great art. Magic is much the same.

Fred and George created tons of brand new magic and they were considered lackadaisical.  Heck almost all of the Weasleys did more original magic than Hermione. To use IT terminology, Hermione was maybe a power user, but certainly not a programmer or computer engineer


Edit: Voldemort didn’t invent horocruxes, I never said that. He did invent the insanely devious traps protecting his horocruxes. 


Also: yeah we have no idea what happened outside of cannon. That doesn’t prove or disprove anything. Just cause it could have happened doesn’t mean it did. With zero information, it’s just as likely it didn’t happen.

Hermione made many useful magical things. For example, she made the Dumbledore's Army Galleons and Parchment, both of which were subtle enough that they were able to hide their magical nature even from wizards who were directly handling them.
