Reading Enders Game after reading the Harry Potter series felt like those were two opposite ends of the spectrum.
Harry was special because fate made him special and all things revolved around him regardless of his actions.
Ender was special because the author said he was the smartest kid in the room and all things he did worked because if it didn’t work, then he wouldn’t be the smartest.
But then we found out later that Bean was actually the smartest kid in the room
I always got the impression that Ender was better at overarching strategy but didn't have Beans attention to detail and ability to micromanage. They both complimented eachother really well though Bean went very underappreciated.
I think that's exactly how they described it in the book. Bean was like a surgical instrument, precise and perfect for those small details/strike teams, but not as great at the larger overarching tasks.
With both written by hateful, vitriolic turds.
