Betsy Hp:
I agree with everything you said here.  (Um, except for the enjoying 
the reading thing.  I had to grit my teeth to get through, but that's 
small potatoes.)  But I want to have fun with Moments of Poor Taste.

One that struck me was that thing with the war memorial in Godric's 
Hollow.  Going by the description it was probably a WWI memorial, and 
going by my knowledge of that time period it's probably the only 
grave marker for a lot of the names on the memorial, and it's 
probably the names of just about every muggle boy of a certain age 
from that town.

And the wizards steal it to stick in a statue of the Potter family. 
Blech.

I honestly don't think the witches and the wizards of the WW consider 
themselves British.  Or at least, their idea of Britain and a 
muggle's idea of Britain are two vastly different things.

And I just had to highlight:

Betsy Hp:
I'd worry about it a bit, but the prose was so clunky in this last 
one, and the plot thread so reliant on deus ex machina and things we 
didn't know but probably should have way back in book one but JKR 
will share them with us now, that I doubt it'll end up in anyone's 
canon.

The Potter books are this era's pet rocks.
