Despite her fine grasp on mythology and human nature, her 
writing continues to be weak, relying on awkward structures and
mechanisms. 
Her dialogs are usually spot-on, but she could use structures othe
than "said' 
and an adverb, somebody get that woman a thesaurus, or something,
with 
some verbs for her to use for speakers. I am SO tired of people's
emotions 
being evidenced by blushing, flushing, their faces "burning", and a
dozen 
other ways of relying on this vascular phenomenon to convey anger.
And cold 
voices.

Yes, the writing is simple and there's not a lot of variety in the 
descriptions, but the one thing many adults forget when the read 
Harry Potter (esp. more recent ones where the themes are more mature) 
that these are childrens books. They were originally meant to appeal 
to people around the age of 12. It's not JKR's writing that draws 
such a broad audience, it's her story-telling.
