Dearest Golly,
    I just wanted to meantion that no one forced you to buy Harry 
Potter.  No one snatched the money out of your bank acount bought HP 
and rammed it down your throat.  When you choose to buy a book the 
author owes you nothing.  You bought the book based on its 
predecessors.  Your bad!  If you weren't pleased with it, well next 
time, wait and see if a book's your type before you buy it.  However, 
I think you are grossly undermining HP.  I think it has a lot more 
literary worth than you give it credit for.  The portayal of Harry as 
an angst-driven team was simply brilliant.  What your wrote about him 
being a "bratty teen" is absolute rubbish.  Imagine if you had his 
life experiences.  Would you not act in a similar fashion?  Just 
wanted to mention all this.
                               Cheers, 
                                   *Yaira*
