I believe that JKR's plot is very strong but sometimes her theme
overrides it.  I also agree that I,just
as you stated, would never be able to rewrite the series as good as JKR
did.   I believe that what sets
HP apart is that JKR makes you THINK you know what is going to happen
and then puts a totally
different twist on it that leaves your jaw dropped.  She uses a lot of
symbols in the book for many
different reasons.  We can speculate what they mean but we may not ever
truly know. 
Characterizations has been compromised for setting many times.  As
elobarate as some of the settings
can be,the characters are stronger than the setting but the setting
helps.     In regard to another
post,someone stated that Molly Weasley was evil and I believe if this 
is
true then whose to say that
Harry himself is not evil?  Perhaps Harry was related to LV
somehow,distant cousin or something,and
received some of the traits,perhaps Harry is  more powerful than LV and
even more evil yet he had the
choice to use it for good or evil and he chose good.  If you recall, in
COS, Dumbledore asked Harry why
he was placed in Gryffindor and he said "because I asked it to".  Harry
has the brains to know that
Slytherin is where all the evil wizards go and he wanted to be able to
go into Gryffindor to corrupt
their minds such as Hermione's.  Then,another part of me believes that
Ron is evil as well because he and
Harry are extremely alike....just pondering.

Me:  I fell for that the first couple books.  It seems at times a funny little child's tale and you absolutely know exactly what the plot is and the whole storyline is so simple (well it was in the first book but STILL was surprising) and where it's going and then find out there is a whole lot more to the story then you realized!  I don't make that mistake anymore.  I figure now I'm going to be surprised. And the entire story has gotten much more sophisticated and complex.  Huggs Becky
