Alla:

Oh, definitely, no question about it - Harry's mood I found to be 
incredibly believable and I agree that under circumstances Harry was 
holding up amazingly well.

I confess though as much as I loved OOP, Jo comments about 
Harry "mastering his emotions" in HBP bothered me very very much.

So, my question is - do you think that she will do believable 
transition in his emotions again? You know, not glossing over his 
grief and pain, following up on what Dursleys did to him. etc.?

If OOP is indeed Harry's darkest hour, HBP just cannot become 
his "shiny hour" right away, it has to be dark at least for a while, 
IMO.
