I was very disappointed that Tonks' charachter (and her special
skills) was not developed and put in use for something more exciting
than falling in love (which also annoyed me a lot since Im an
uncurable Remus/Sirius shipper).
Rowling could have done anything with Tonks - and blew it.
Severus as the HBP was all good and fine - but what was that all
about anyways? Why dedicate the 6th book to Snape if by the end of it
we practically don't know anything more about him than we did at the
end of any previous book?
The fact that Snape is the HBP didn't do anything to his character -
or to the book. Did it? Am I missing something here?
And finally Draco's character seems to have grown a lot. Which is
good. I had almost given up hope after OOTP that Draco would be given
the chance to come back in the books as something other than the
Slytherin badboy who makes Harry's life a little more difficult at
times.
I was disappointed that Sirius seems to have completely vanished from
the books as well as from Harry's thoughts. Maybe in book 7.... but
if Harry's grief was so easy to overcome as it seemed it has - I find
it rather difficult to see how Sirius can come back into Harry's
life - in whatever state (ghost, mirror....) and still be important
to Harry. Sirius was forgotten a bit too soon.
