Yeah, not everyone would've been happy no matter what. I was more pointing out that when an author is trying to think of complex twists and stuff, at that point, the fans have already already thought of that and then some. It's hard to be clever when you lead a super fandom.

I personally thought HP got weaker the grittier it got. I didn't think the blood bath in book 7 was effective for me. Book 4 set a precedent on characters dying, but frankly, I would've rather either Ron or Hermoine die (preferably Ron - not because I hate Ron, but he would've made a better death scene) and spare everyone else. On one hand, it was kind of a cool concept that the books matured along with Harry, but on the other hand, I just felt this massive disconnect. The earlier books were so enchanting because so much was unexplained and so many quirky tidbits left open-ended. In later books, Rowling took those open tidbits and thoroughly explained and made use of them. The world felt much less magical as time went on. Again, maybe that's commentary on Harry growing up, and if that was intentional, well done to her. But at the same time, the things I enjoyed most about the books were gone, and I was less intrigued by the straight action drama.

But hey, if it had gone my way, I'm sure plenty of fans would've hated that, too.
