I was wondering when someone would be brave enough to admit this 
first (obviously not me *grin*). But I must agree with Leslie. I do 
not like Harry Potter very much, I think he is self-centered, 
thoughtless, very very nosey, and overall, not especially interesting 
besides his extraordinary circumstances.

He just does not inspire me. Few of the characters really make me 
smile; I would not enjoy spending time with most of them. But why I 
am so dedicated to the books is because of the sheer magic of a world 
that seems so real, and JKR's amusing writing style.
 
Although I will admit to really liking and respecting F+G, they are 
living their lives fully and joyfully, which I feel one has no excuse 
for doing if one would to be blessed with such amazing gifts from 
being a wizard (or witch).

My two sickles (inflation, you know).
