SPOILERS *** SPOILERS

I must be one of the few folks who disliked HP5 aka Oop.

I'm go n a  get flamed, but the death of 'Pavlov's' mutt didn't 
bother me. He had a number of years to see a shrink or a wizard 
version of the same and didn't bother to do so. At least not in the 
canon stories. Here was a man who refused to seperate his animal 
self from his human. A man who always lived in neverland. I've met 
folks like this and pity them, but I do not like them. Sorry.

As for the rest.

I loved the evil elf/and evil house. Ditto for the nasty niffler of 
a Dada come grand inquisiter boob.

The rest, sheesh... canon characters turned into cardboard and new 
cardboard dolls with little to do dumped into the plot.

And Dumbledore.... a man who has taught teens for ?50 plus years and 
Headmaster for ?30 plus, not understanding or being prepared to 
handle teen angst. I just don't believe it.

The Harry/Snape interplay was the only thing real in this story. 

Bullying is a terrible crime which impacts on ones life forever.  
That thread is amply shown by the Dursley's bullying of Harry; James 
& the Marauders attacks on Snape and Snape's bullying of Harry. How 
sad. It makes it next to impossible for Harry to accept Snape's help.

I wait for HP6 and hope for a better novel.

I hope someone will beta it.

Some fan novels read better than this.


An annoyed reader.
