Well, Hermione is also the least in need of an upgrade.

Sure. The problem there though is that everyone else in the original started at around a 1 or a 2 in some 1-10 scale of intelligence/education/rationality and she was at a 3. Then a lot of characters got bumped to 4 or 5 and she didn't get bumped.

There's no insistence in this case that things must be "exactly gender-balanced" but rather than less gender inequity would have been nice.
