You've described it so much better than I could. ^__^ Thank you! That's exactly how I feel: seeing the strings being pulled without feeling the pull myself. It DOES feel cheap.
I think it also is a testament to the reader (and writer) how much the reader is willing to immerse him or herself. A writer could be the best in the world but if the reader is not willing to submit to it a little bit, it's useless. :( I think I'm getting somewhat jaded concerning the HP books. I just can't let myself into them as much. I've had too many annoyances and rebuffs.
