 Personally, if she does not address these issues, or worse, provides 
some pat or off-the-cuff answer, I'll probably throw the books in the 
dumpster and regret having wasted my money.  That is just me, of 
course.  But it is a genuine expression of my feelings about the 
matter, which are not politically correct, or over-analyzing, or 
anything else.  They are just an expression of the jarring discord I 
feel with what I read and the author's stated intent.

Potioncat:
This intrigues me. And I've seen similar statements about other plot 
issues. But, how could you be so involved with the first 5 books and 
later be so very disappointed that you would think it a waste? I have 
a friend who stopped reading the series after PoA because it became 
too dark for her. But she isn't reading it and discussing it and 
spending time on it.

Now, I can understand being upset over a character's death. I can 
understand being disappointed over some event that doesn't occur as 
expected. But I can't see how whatever-comes-next, could ruin the 
whole series. If I'm correct, you've enjoyed the books so far, but 
have some reactions to the Dursley/Dumbledore portions of the story.

I don't mean this to sound attacking, I'm just curious. And I'm not 
just asking you personally, Lupinlore, but others who've said similar 
things about other issues.
