And again this is worth repeating, the story is from Harry's 
viewport, so we know only what he sees, or feels, or whatever the 
author feels like letting us know. 

Alla:

Yep. I am aware of that and I think pretty much everybody who 
participates in this thread does. What people are saying, I believe 
is that sometimes it would not hurt to let us know a little bit more 
to make character development a little more believable for some 
readers.

I adore Harry's character. I think Rowling does a bang on job with 
him. I think he deserves the very best girl Rowling can offer him 
and I certainly love him with Ginny, but Supercoool!Ginny whom I am 
okay with now in many ways appeared out of nowhere as far as I am 
concerned.

Danielle:
It's getting to the point where everyone is nitpicking every little 
detail, that you are getting away from the point that this is a 
piece of fiction. Authors may try to make things work in a real way, 
but it doens't always turn out that way. GET OVER IT!!! When you 
guys decide to write your own story and get it published do it the 
way you want to do it, right down to the very last perfect detail. 
This is Rowlings story, and she's made it clear
>  she's a human being that makes mistakes, we all know her math is 
horrible.

Alla:

Yep, that's what we do here - nitpicking every little detail, 
admiring what author does if we wish, criticising what author does 
if we wish. I am certainly not going to get over anything, if I feel 
that something in the books not written as well as I would love to 
see.

Yes, it is just my wish as a reader and that is Rowling story ( I am 
aware of it too), but even though I love the books very much I am 
not going to stop from criticising the things I do not love ( there 
is still much less on the negative part of the scales for me, much 
less than for Betsy or LL, but those things are there).

JMO of course,

Alla
