Another reason to read the other books, you are occasionally making minor contradictions with her magic system that wouldn't occur if you read the other books. In particular, in the latest chapter where Hermione and Harry experiment together "If you didn't tell her at all what the spell was supposed to do, it would stop working" is contradicted by canon in Half-Blood Prince.
