Magpie:
Got to agree there. People are always going to second-guess a writer's
choices if they're inclined, which is not always a bad thing. But I don't
have a problem with negative reactions either. Sometimes I get something out
of that sort of discussion, sometimes I don't.

------------------------------------
I have issues with everything I've ever read / seen at some point or
another, sure, there's always something in every story. I wanted Harry to
flourish as a wizard, after his quick mastery of the patronus I found it
really suffocating to have him seem so helpless against death eaters and
Hermione out-matches him in skill endlessly right up to the end. I really
wanted it to be about Harry finding power within himself to knock arrogant
Vodly on his ass rather than the half-hearted "expelliarmus" I think JKR
really thought it out too far and over-reached for the conclusion, but Harry
really, IMO, had a "Molly" moment (not my daughter, you bitch -- bam, dead
Belatrix!) but it never came.
So there's, that's my bitch. But, it's not my story, so I don't bitch, I
take the ride as a trip and I enjoyed the trip.
As for the films, after what Columbus did, anything was better.
