The Sergeant Majorette (brandishing her camomile dart gun) says
I'm pretty sure the muppet was being sarcastic, as the handle
suggests. The point is that nobody wants to be hit over the head with
an obvious moral. And Hermiones's activism is *not* portrayed in a
sympathetic manner, but rather as a function of her tragic flaw,
which is her pigheaded inability to relate fully to others.
