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
