Reading the posts on the lack of growth in Harry's magical prowess in HBP, I
have to comment firstly, that, he does actually make some strides so to
speak, magically in the book. He learns to apparate, he does apparently pass
his classes which means that studious or not, he must be at least keeping up
with the work and he does learn some new spells. Not only from the HBP's
book either. Episkey which is the one Tonks uses on him first to heal his
nose when she finds him on the train, and then of course, the ones that are
from the potions book. And then, of course, serving as Quidditch Captain
should have helped to hone his leadership abilities. All in all, I'm not
overly disappointed in his maturation thus far...
