Oh man, I am really laughing right now. You know, wank wars are so fun to read. And I knew that, but I'll say it again. WANK WARS ARE SO FUN TO READ.

The best part is when the people do exactly what they've accused the other person of doing.

*LAUGHS*

The essay was very good. I think the arguments speak for themselves, in such a way the H/Hr shippers, besides being pissed, could do nothing to shoot it down. Still, the people involved took it a bit too seriously to be much fun. I think we ought to convert them to boy sex ^_~

And rant away! Even if my strong suit are movies, I can analize books worth something, and it's always interesting to listen to someone that knows what she is doing. I like to take things appart a bit too much, so if you go at it by the pice, all the better for me ^_^

And the characters... well, I like Harry Potter, but by now Harry has grown quite a bit and his perspective hasn't changed that much since he was 11. His view of the world is so simple that I'm left craving a bit of complot, a bit of lies and deceit, power struggles and politics. And I'm feeling the lack of a brilliant bad guy, too. It's fun, but, there's too many empty spaces, and that's probably why so many good fanfickers are into this fandom; they have a lot of space to move around.

Well... that. Start with your analissis and I'll tell you what I think. Oh!! And I have to confess I haven't finished OotP #^^# It got here once I had been severely spoiled (I had to wait for the spanish version, released about 6-8 months after the english one), then I had to wait until it blew over, because I wasn't going to pay a small fortune for it and then... well ^^ I bought it bout' 5 months ago, but the Pendragon Cicle and Isaac Asimov I loove just a bit more.

Sorry this took me so long. RL has been giving me a pain in the neck.

Ahaha, yeah, okay, I will try not to spoil anything for you concerning book 6 then. Oh, it was good though. Really fulfilled some things for me, and on top of that, I got to ponder a well-crafted mystery again so that was nice.

One of the main issues I have with Harry Potter is the cliche aspect of it. Book six does a lot to alleviate that particular issue, but I totally hear you about the lack of a brilliant bad guy. Voldemort scared me so much in book four, as did Bellatrix, but then in five they just... got whiny. And annoying. And not nearly as frightening. I think Voldemort gains some of that back in book 6, but Bella... Hmm.

There are things in book 6 that really bothered me from a writing standpoint, but I don't know how much I can say here... *bites nails* It's a humdinger of a climax and I wouldn't want to ruin it for you. But there is definitely a change in style, at least as far as the plots and intrigues and deceit goes. If I am right about one particular aspect of the story, then I applaud JK for going out on an EXTREMELY shaky limb. It's wonderful.
