Re: 145
You know what's kind of sad? I read that line and instead of thinking of JKR, I thought of Stephenie Meyer. It bothers me how people often compare the two (in a positive fashion, as if Meyer is half as good a writer as JKR), but this line makes me think they do have a bit more in common than I was originally willing to admit.
Why is that with HP, people got into massive debates re: the epilogue, but the whole of the Twilight series reading like that causes people to get up and SQUEE!? It's too sickeningly idealistic, IMO.
Re: 145
In that respect, yes, in a way they do. But Ginny is not a main character, and Harry is not a crazy stalker whose life centres around her, so Rowling's love story seems a lot less insane. I'm more prepared to forgive badly developed side characters than badly developed main characters. Rowling's story overall is about other things, so an insufficiently plotted love story is only annoying, not rage-inducing, haha.
Plus, Rowling did rather a good job with certain other relationships, and she's very good with friendships (which I think she should have stuck with, concerning Harry).

Honestly? I think it's because Rowling writes a great story, her writing, while not fantastic, is good and has heart.
Meyer writes an idealised teenage romance, and if you have that mindset you squee, and if you don't, you generally think the whole thing is rubbish and don't bother with it. Or gleefully mock it, of course! But there won't be much critical debate. The writing can't support it, plainly speaking.
