* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Combined with her appearance in the TV series, there are few who feel that Courtney should had come back as a series regular, since she's one of the few to actually stand up against a monster and [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talk it to death]] unlike the usual protagonists who run and scream.

* DesignatedVillain: Courtney doesn't do anything except irritate the protagonists by being TheAce at everything. The TV version has her acting like a smug InsufferableGenius, but she still never acts with malicious intent towards the boys who are actively trying to one-up her or scare her.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: ''You Can't Scare Me'', particularly the TV adaptation: At various points it looks like the episode will pull a plot twist and reveal that Courtney is actually some kind of monster. Throughout the episode, she shows a fascination with them, and argues in favor of the possibility that monsters might exist. The episode reaches its climax end... Nope, Courtney is just a normal preteen who's just ''really'' perfect.

Of course, Courtney isn't really as nasty as other kids in the series (she actually does a few good deeds throughout the story), and it's likely the protagonists are ''intentionally'' in the wrong for wasting so much time on petty rivalries.
