Yes the book did annoy Harry.  He promiced himself to toss it into the
fire when Hermione wasn't looking.  And I just listened to OOTP on
tape recently and I got the impression that he was refering to his
book as "like a diary except it talked saying "bla bla bla".  I took
it to mean, that diarys didn't talk to you.  Not that Ron's didn't
talk too.

But, this is a weird thing to pick up on... but, i guess it is just
the ships blasting bombs at each other.. oh no Hermione likes Harry
NO.. she likes Ron?  What does it matter?  I want the adventure!  I
honestly can't hardly stand to wait until book 6 comes out!

And I honestly don't think that JKR is going to answer this question
anytime soon.... ie:  "Ron couldn't you tell I like Harry better, I
alway buy him better gifts?"  What?  Now if you had talked about the
broom cleaning/repairing kit Hermione bought Harry, and Ron got candy
beans.  Well, now that says it all ... (Mahhahahaaaa)  

Okay, I couldn't resist, I know Harry got that for his birthday.. but,
what did Ron get for his birthday?  humm?  

Thanks for the post everyone.. I got a real smile out of it..
