Why is Hermione so smart but doesn't share it in Ravenclaw?

I think sorting hat put Hermione in Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw because although Hermione is a wizard with both courage and curiosity, it is not her curiosity that determines her life, but her courage. A careful reading of the original will reveal that Hermione, like other Gryffindor students, has the courage to contend with discipline and rules in her bones. I remember several times in the book that Ron was surprised that Hermione broke the school rules voluntarily. Hermione "seemed to like it when she said that." There is no denying that Hermione is much more cautious than Harry and Ron on many occasions, but caution does not mean that she has no courage. Think about it. In the seventh movie, Hermione put a spell on her parents to make them forget themselves. How much courage does it take? If I were you, I wouldn't do it.

I think sorting hat put Hermione in Gryffindor and Harry in Gryffindor are essentially different. Harry insisted on going. Hermione didn't mention her own wishes in the book, but said that "sorting hat finally decided to put me in Gryffindor". I think this is the magic of sorting hat-make a comprehensive investigation of a person and then decide according to his or her most important, not the most obvious characteristics. It's like Neville. Before the seventh movie came out, he was so suspicious. I think the answer is obvious. Remember why Dumbledore gave Neville extra points in the first movie? "It takes a lot of courage to deal with the enemy, and it takes a lot of courage to stand up for friends." At that time, Neville's courage was only "latent" and was not fully displayed. Sorting hat saw this clearly than anyone else (even his relatives and friends) and put him in Gryffindor. This is also evident in Hermione's case.

Hermione's courage may not be as obvious as Harry and Ron's, but it's not inferior to them at all-leaving classes she doesn't like, casting spells on her parents to make them forget themselves, and choosing to stay with Harry to finish the unfinished business when Ron and Harry disagree. All these things are often ignored by us in life, but only those who are really brave and have real brains can do it.

Ah, finally, I want to say: why can't Gryffindor people be very smart? Gryffindor thinks that courage is the most important thing, but this does not mean that Gryffindor people are simple-minded and well-developed ...
