Excuse me but what? You cannot be serious. Aside from being deeply 
condescending, you are simply incorrect. I must not be reading the 
same edition of this list that you are reading, because I have read 
and participated in numerous discussions that are sharply critical of 
many aspects of the book. 

Did you not notice the GINORMOUS thread involving Harry's use 
of "Crucio", or the equally massive one about Slytherin House being 
portrayed in a relentlessly negative light? Those threads are not so 
lengthy because we all agree with each other and are taking turns 
writing glowing posts about JKR being the best writer ever. They are 
so lengthy because we are discussing all differing sides of the 
subject. 

You have apparently never read a post by me, or lupinlore, hpaddict, 
sistermagpie, Lee Kaiwen, or a couple dozen other usernames that are 
frequent contributors to this forum. 

I know darn well that I don't think DH is the best piece of 
literature in the world, and I am struggling to come up with a single 
user name on this forum that has posted anything remotely close to 
that.
