As I contemplate my new layout as well as the rest of life's mysteries, I have come to the conclusion that I am finally prepared to vent my severe displeasure with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. So now I bring you the first of what's sure to be several installments of....

DUDE. Rhea, I don't know how you do it..but you describe everything wrong with Superman!StudMuffin!Harry (eeeeyuck) so ... perfectly. Just dead on. He just was so cocky and unbearable in this book. He reminded me of James, in a way, with the senseless throwing curses/hexes at random people and laughing at his own best friend's expense.

HBP!Harry is shockingly devoid of this humanity.

Oh yeah. And the way he got over Sirius, just like that? ... Inconsistent, I tell you.

Looking forward to the next rant. :) Putting this in my memories, by the way.

Agreed. I can excuse James's idiotic behavior at that age; he had a normal enough childhood and therefore can be expected to have such normal growing pains. Harry, on the other hand, had to grow up a lot faster. There's no excuse for him to be so immature in book 6.

And thanks, you're making me blush. =)

Rhea's back! Sweet. Sorry you're sick. I'm feeling under the weather myself.

Keep bringing on these critiques. I can't wait to read what you have to say about Hermione next.

Back indeed! Glad you enjoyed, and I hope you feel better. We're having some very odd weather here and it's making everyone's sinuses and allergies and what-have-yous go absolutely bonkers.

Wow, you almost went for the one-year anniversary!

Eh, I sorta made my brain forget HBP. I mean, H/G? Wha? Wha?

It dulls the pain. But besides that, effin' ditto.

I wanted to forget HBP, but I felt stupid when I reminded myself how many times I've read each of the first five books and then compared it to two measly readings for HBP. It just seemed weird to me; I thought I might as well try to give it another chance. Turns out I needn't have bothered.

Your icon = hilarity. =)
