Katie:

He was built up to be such an important and interesting character and it
just didn't happen

Lynda:

He was?  The above refers to Draco and frankly I never once in the books saw
his character being built up as so many have claimed it was. That's just not
there for me. I was quite surprised--and pleased btw--at Dudley's reaction
to Harry in this book. Unexpected from everything Rowling had said and very
pleasant. Maybe not the big reveal so many were looking for--and I'll agree
to that there were no really big surprises, but Dudley, the pleasant and
somewhat unexpected marriage of Lupin and Tonks, the confirmation of
Dumbledore's manipulations and youthful jaunt into the dark arts, Kreacher's
newfound loyalty to Harry and a few other things I could probably think of
if it weren't 28 minutes to midnight on Christmas day made it not a complete
bore of a book after all.
