> Don't get me wrong! I enjoyed reading GOF and rereading it and rereading it and ....  OP is the most difficult book for me to read because of PTSD!Harry... and Grawp.  God blessed it, that chapter is long!  Out of my 5 or 6 reads of the book, I've only read it once.

Moody!CrouchJr and Voldemort waiting until the last task to whisk away Harry when they could've easily done in on September 2nd.  I know it's been argued that LV is a famewhore, but still.  I don't buy it.  

Magpie:
I had more trouble with that in OotP. In GoF the plot inconsistancies didn't pull me up until after I'd finished, where with OotP I felt five steps ahead of everyone throughout the book. So I wound up just thinking, "Just tell him X, stupid!"
