Oh god, yes, that certainly wasn't a complaint, my saying that. It 
broke my heart, in a good way, my poor baby Harry with his bloody 
hands. And that he TAKES it. He just sits there, quietly, bleeding 
all over the place, not going to anybody, even his friends, to fix 
it. Because somewhere in there Harry decided that that is what 
strength means.

*sigh* 

I stick by what I said earlier - that OOtP is an excellent (although 
not unflawed) book and a worthy entry in the series, but it is 
painful and crushing to read. What, in previous books, was the joy of 
discovering new nooks and crannies of the wizarding world, was 
replaced in OotP by the torment of discovering new darkness, evil, 
and pain in the wizarding world.

Hagrid also totally annoying and Ginny unbearable.

Woe.
