Hi Steve,
You point out something I hadn't thought about, that we all have our 
own version of what CAPSLOCK Harry must sound like. For me, he was  
over the top in the early chapters and understandably so. Those caps 
were extreme for me. It didn't make it easier to read. Harry was 
still "zis leetle boy" to me and in OOTP, he'd grown physically, and 
had become an extremely angry person. Transitional time. You are too 
right that Dan has a much larger range of emotions at his disposal 
in order to give us an angry, frustrated and isolated Harry. He can 
be all those things without the caps on. Looking at the situation 
this way maintains the spirit of the story without alienating the 
more general viewers who wouldn't want to see a full-volume Harry. I 
think that's my question, would the normal non-rabid movie-goer be 
able to handle an over-the-top angry Harry? It's pretty jarring to 
me and I stuck around to see him get through it.
