I agree with you. It does seem that Harry isn't nearly as 
prepared as he should be. You'd think when the greatest dark 
magician ever has wanted you dead since birth, you'd
have a few more private lessons than he got. He does seem to have way
too much to learn and do in one book, and if JKR was writing this
story one book at a time, I'd be worried. However, the whole thing
has been planned out for a long time and since she has captivated me 
with this story more than anyone ever has I'm giving her the benefit 
of the doubt. My vote is for "stunningly masterful".
