A Different Opinion

No: HPFGUIDX 133734

I almost feel bad in saying this but I was extremely disappointed in 
HBP.  It was rushed at points, JKR almost completely ignored OOTP,
leaving so many thoughts and questions unanswered. IE: Percy, 
completely changing the character of Hermione to a shell of her
former self, and leaving poor Luna with almost no part at all.

To me, it felt like JKR had a checklist of questions to answer and
just added scenes for the sake of answering those questions, like 
Chapter 2, a big question was where is PP and what has he been up to? 
well we did get an answer, I must say though the parts of LV's past 
were my favorite, I thought they were extremely well written, but 
were lost in a sea of confusion.  After listening and see several 
interviews I am convince that JKR, is deeply affected by what her 
fans say and that it has great effect on her writing, even going so 
far as to change what may or may not was planned.

I hav read some of  the posts comparing to LOTR, which is a natural 
comparison, but I also thougt the scene w/Ginny was very "Spiderman".
 
I am looking forward to book 7 as I hope that JKR returns to the 
styling of the first four books, as I think they were wonderful, I 
cannot imagine the amount of pressure she feels to write, and I do
think she is a wonderful story teller.

I am just wondering if anyone feels the same way that I do.
