Ah. I've never critiqued the books on this level because I thought they were all a little silly and sloppy when you came right down to it.

Er....lolwhut? I didn't "critique" the books "on this level." These were just my vague impressions that I remember having when I finished them when I was 11-13. I was annoyed at how boring and unscary the inferi were compared to the diary or the Dept of Mysteries. I was annoyed that Dumbledore's funeral scene was so excessive and didn't stab me like the post-climactic scenes of books 4 and 5. I was annoyed that stuff like Hermione's political insightfulness or panicky discomfort about things that didn't have a rational explanation was dropped. I was annoyed that Harry's ripping grief and trauma and existential dread from Book 5 was dropped. That's not a "critique." That's a kids' reaction, which I had.

Do you really...think that my previous comment is anything close to "critiquing"? That's...not a critique. At all. It's just a pointing out of how aspects of books 6 and 7 were disappointing in comparison to things the earlier books did well. It has nothing to do with being silly or sloppy or not being silly or sloppy.

I was emotionally affected by Books 1-5, and affected in more thought-provoking ways by books 4 and 5. I wasn't nearly as emotionally affected by Books 6 and 7, and they weren't nearly as thought-provoking either. That's not a "critique" on any "level." It's an emotional reaction.
