Oh no, your right, Harry doesn't do *anything* in the books. I love 
the way he stares at a blank wall watching paint dry for 99% of the 
chapters. He just *imagines* Voldemort.

Hmm...carry the story...let's see...the stories are about Harry, 
aren't they? Maybe JKR should call the books Harry Potter but the 
books are really all about someone called Bill Smith.

Have you read the books? If so, why keep reading if you don't like 
them?

Pity you don't :)
