Notes:

This is not your forum to identify and call out specific people just to call them assholes. Call out general actions you find reprehensible, mod ability/inability, that kind of stuff, but once you get into what basically amounts to 'this person is a stupid bitch and here are some icons/an lj layout/add. info to identify them with' - no.

Don't feel bad. The first book was geared to a much younger audience than the later books were, so it's understandable you as an older reader wouldn't relate to it.

Also, I know this is blasphemy, but JKR isn't the best writer ever. Her awkward sentences are a bit too plentiful, and she's in a love with adverbs. Adverbs are like literary herpes. Either she's firing her editors or they're afraid of her, because OOTP needed at least 100 pages cut. I'm embarrassed for her when I read that book, because she has her characters repeating stories over and over.

Of course I've read every one and seen every movie. They're good books, they're just not the second coming of literature. And if you managed to spot that as a speaker of another language, I think that makes you pretty smart.
