 One thing does disappoint me about Harry. He never seems to evolve, he just grows up slowly and aside from trite incursions, he lacks any true planning genius and ends up needing rescue from friends. It's getting repetitive and predictable.

I wish the writer would really dig deep here, if I were writing things, at this point I would have written it so Harry really thinks hard to plan ahead, something a more mature Harry would. He would have cast spells of some kind before being detained by the hand of evil to circumvent this type of thing rather than risk lives. He would have maybe dug deep into the roots of magic to actually make a device as others have made, like the invisible cloak. I would have had him make something clever and odd, like a ring with a slide away cover revealing an eye. Whenever the eye sees light, any living being that is touching the ring will be instantly transported to wherever the wearer is thinking of. Or how about this; a root from a special tree that each time it splits, a vapor is released which protects it's holder within a given radius from any types of spells, etc....

Well just my thoughts. I'd hate to see him act like a little boy in every movie never really growing up to do something truly spectacular.
