1)  The surprise at the end.  This is what I fell in love with when I 
listened to Book I for the first time.  You and Harry know a certain 
thing to be undeniably true, then BAM! you're both completely wrong.  
It was actually something else which you should have seen coming, you 
silly.  Even reading the next ones for the first time, I *knew* there 
would be that surprise at the end, I expected it, I tried to 
anticipate it, and still, it surprised me beyond belief.  Book I is 
the best when it comes to this.  Book V still had this, but I missed 
the BAM! factor.

2)  The fact that Pat Robertson can't stand him.  :::Evil smilie:::

3)  The fact that noone ever just "says" something.  they say it 
aprehensively, happilly, angrily, etc etc etc.  Some find this 
annoying, but Jo's -ly words just make me want to read more.
