When in trouble, I think the latter gives more strength... hmm-mm. I 
think they're *equal*.

Tonks:

Well Finwitch, you have just described me. I guess I am more like 
Hermione than I realized before.  I always hate it when people tell 
me to just *jump in and do it*.  Makes me cringe even here. Yes 
there are times when just doing it is good.  And people who just 
jump in can think on their feet (which I can't, and maybe not 
Hermione either), but that also is their strength and weakness. They 
often get in above their head and it takes more thinking on their 
feet to get back out again. It is clear that the trio work best as a 
team.
