Errol has resumed the point. I like the books for everything noted above, 
but, for me, Harry is boring. Dull. Not much interesting, most reacting, not 
acting. I read about his friends, rivals, life, and I like it, but  
personally I find Harry barely aceptable. That's my opinion.

Sorry if I offend someone, but I'm ignoring Harry's thoughts in OoP second 
reading. It saves 20% of the book and I don't find myself talking to Harry, 
as in the previous reading, which is good, because I don't want to get angry 
with Harry, and first time I was really angry with him. 

Josephine and I could post about why we don't like Harry, it isn't a crime. 
And it is inevitable you like or don't a character. I like the 'star' from 
crime and punishment, I don't think too many people likes or defends him. 

I am not atacking Harry by saying I don't like hime, and he's boring. I also 
find Superman boring and dull, quite stupid sometimes.

But I have the right to chat to Josephine about our dislikements, if we like 
and are canon based. I wouldn't flame a person for disliking Hermione or Ron, 
for example.
