I really didn't mind Hermione doing practically everything in this book, from casting all the spells to the never-ending handbag.
I think it was taken a little overboard when compared to Ron's contributions. I wanted to see more of Ron doing something instead of just making the usual witty remarks. In this book, with just a few exceptions, he was nothing more than a tag-along.
