I very much like the Harry Potter series except for two main aspects of the books:
1) J.K. Rowling has given way too much credit to Harry. In fact, hes probably the biggest jerk Ive ever encountered in fiction. I was reading Deathly Hallows and theres a certain incident where Ron appears after abandoning Harry and subsequently saves Harry's life. For all that, Harry appraises (as if hes qualified to appraise anybody) Ron: "You've sort of made up for it tonight. Getting the *spoiler*. Finishing off the *spoiler*. Saving my life."

2) Why in every book does Rowling have to introduce a new sort of "relic" that the books central plot revolves around? Clearly that reveals the fallibility of the overall plot.

At least if ppl dont entirely agree with the second objection, the first one should be quite evident given the plethora of damning evidence ever since the fifth book.

Is it just me or ...after the H.P. books were starting to be filmed ...did the story lines become more cinematically friendly?....Dumbledore dies....two movies after the actor kicks it?...

For those that have read the 7th book ( harry potter and the deathly hallows), who liked the book? Was the ending good? Who did you expect to die? Did you like the book? Why or why not? Rate the book from 1 to 10.



I liked the book though it was very, very sad. The deaths of Fred Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, 'Mad-Eye' Moody, Dobby the house elf, Scrimgeour, and Severus Snape shocked me. I think the book was the best of all other 6 and that this book was action packed the whole time. I felt extremely sorry for Fred and Snape. Fred was an energetic character and his death was uncalled for. Snape was in love with Lily Evans all along and that's why he was protecting Harry. The book also had an amusing epilogue which made me a little satisfied with the way things turned out. All in all, this is one book you might remember for a long time. I give this book a 9/10.

I'm reading the Scarlet Letter and don't understand one of the quotes in chapter one. It says "The founders of the new colony...have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison."
Could someone tell me what this quote means and what the point of it is?

...what else could we read and write about? I'm including medical fiction, since there's always blood and violence involved.

In the epilogue, we see him and his wife and his child on Platform 9 3/4, but we are not told who his wife is. What's your guess?

Several hundred, I'm guessing. Some in literature, some in history of magic, some in philosophy, some in psychology, at least a few in business (most successful of all book series). What do you think?
