Honestly, if the first book was just one and done, it would have been a lot better. Each book after the first was just...not good. The idea of 'fanfic with the tags filed off and the names changed' entered my head when I read the first one - but being a reader of fanfic and regular novelized fiction, I just don't make comparisons like that after the first observation. Lazy, poor writing is lazy, poor writing no matter what genre it lies in. The first book was fine as a standalone and lots of fun to boot. But the series as a series is...not good. Boring, over-the-top, in-your-face wailing angst and simulated, unnecessary drama that was bewildering at one end and almost funny at another. I have written and read bad fiction from all stripes, but this series; I just don't understand why it became a series, as RR really wasn't trying all too hard halfway through the second book and into the end of the third. It's either a blatant money grab or just a good idea that didn't execute well. I can't decide if it is one or both, really.

Really the Supernatural-ish titles (from the Kansas song that became rather the 'theme' to SPN) to obvious HP themes/characters to the book are kind of a tip-off to the 'grabbed from the fanfic arena', so I don't understand why it going from fanfic genre to novelization is a complaint here. If it is a complaint. I could have missed something here.
