For me:

1.  The entire set-up of the Triwizard Tournament in GOF.  Why can't
the champions and their headmasters simply apparate or portkey to
Hogwarts a few times a year rather than stay on the property for
months and months?  Why have a team of judges made up of the very
headmasters whose students are competing (plus one nutty former
bureaucrat)?  How exactly is international co-operation being
promoted or enhanced here?

The TWT really ruined GOF for me; it was the first time in the series
that I really couldn't swallow something whole.

2.  The way that JKR is increasingly not explaining important bits of
magic - like how horcruxes are created or how you get out of a
pensieve when there's no one around to pull you out (something that
Harry really needs to know, IMO).  At first I assumed we'd get the
details in later books but since there's only one to go, I'm starting
to feel that we won't get any explanations at all.

Which wouldn't be too bad except that "just in time!" magic spells
show up regularly that Harry just happens to need to know...

3.  The way that some things are presented to us as being rare (ie,
Harry being a broom prodigy in PS/SS) or unusual (occlumency being
"an obscure branch of magic" in OOTP) and then turning out to be kind
of common.  Such as Ginny being a budding Quidditch star because she
borrowed her brothers' brooms and flew around the garden at home -
and who threw bludgers at her?  The garden gnomes?  Or Bellatrix - of
all people! - being able to impart occlumency skills to Draco.  It
kind of deflates the uniqueness of things.
