Personally, I just stuck around and see if Rowling resolved some of the major problems I have with the series.  For example, child abuse. Instead of a long winded post, here a review of HP&PS the sums up the issue of abuse in the series.

I was hoping that Rowling will do the right thing and give the Dursleys some karmic justice. (Or at least Vernon getting some jail time)  Instead, we have the wreck that is DH w/ Manipulative!Dumbledore telling the reader (indirectly) that "child abuse" is okay as long as it is done "for the greater good."  That is enough so send my blood boiling and vow never to buy another book from Rowling ever again.

Harry Potter being a children's book, yet the message the book is that no adult will do anything about the abuse, even if you try to do the right thing and tell somebody about it.
