Did anything in the HP series make you roll your eyes a bit?

I loved just about everything about the series, but I must admit that 
I had to roll my eyes just a bit at a few of the plot devices.  I'm 
not talking about inconsistencies, errors or unanswered questions.  
I'm talking about whole concepts that just don't do it for me.  For 
me, most (but not all) of these are in book 2.

Examples are:

The diction of house elves grates on my ears, particularly Winky (PA, 
GoF).
The deathday party. (CoS)
Moaning Myrtle and Gilderoy Lockhart. (CoS)
The Quiddich World Cup (It's a tall order to make us care about 
Ireland vs. Bulgaria). (GoF)
The flying car sequence. (CoS)
The "Here Comes The Calvary" rescue of the flying car in the 
forbidden forest. (CoS)

Anyone have other eye-rollers?
