Rizza:
My point is we should give JKR a little credit. She's come this far,
so I'm sure she knows what she's doing. Ginny has been my choice
from the beginning. At the same time, that doesn't mean I would go
on a rampage if he ended up with someone else. I wouldn't all of a
sudden think the series was no longer worth my time. I wouldn't
think JKR is screwing things up, just because my fantasies were
screwed with.

I mean, really...


Now me:
I can't help but feel that this comment was meant for people like 
myself who had a different shipping preference from what eventuated. 
But I think that I've personally done enough to try to present a 
critic that is fair. It should be clear by now that it's not 
about `fantasies being screwed with' but I suppose it's an easy 
enough anvil to throw.

I just think HBP lacks the skill I came to expect from her and I 
personally find Ginny's character development poor. And no, clearly 
we're not reading the same books. An alternative question to ask 
might be does a preference for H/G actually blind some people to the 
flaws in that subplot?

Who's disappointed but not surprised that its once again being 
labelled `sour grapes'
