This is a good description. A geek in that sense. I do not love Harry but I 
don't hate it. I don't find his character interesting most of the time, but 
of course he has his moments. For example, when he released Dobby, he was  
taking the initiative.

Errol:
<<Harry the dull", "Harry the complex", "Harry the ultimate hero" "UltraSexy! 
Harry", "Harry the Berk" "Annoying!Harry" "Evil Harry" "Harry the everyday 
guy"....and so on... anyone care to oblige?>>
 
Harry the reacter. Most of the time Harry does not act, he only reacts. As 
when he is waiting for Dudley to approach, wanting for Dud friends to give 
him an excuse for bursting.

Harry surprises me when he does something unexpected, because is the character 
I always know what he is going to say or do. I don't know why happens with 
Harry, but that's why I call him boring, I always know how he will react. I 
imagine Herm, Ginny, Neville, Snape  doing things out of camera I just can't  
know, so I found them more interesting, and they are material for theories.

I don't hate Harry however. He is 'normal' enough not to be marked as a 
GaryStu-Hero. But I would not be a friend of his, I mean a close friend. I'd 
prefer to be Neville, or Ginny's friend.

so, what do you think of React!Harry
