Tell the truth, now: You wouldn't really mind all that much if Harry Potter bought the big howler in the upcoming seventh and final novel in the series, would you? I mean, what's to miss? In the novels, if not (yet) in the film adaptations, the boy's turned out to be a right foul git. A moody, whiny teenager - no, worse, a moody, whiny teenager with supernatural powers. And poor study habits. Tell me the world needs that. And don't excuse him by saying he's had problems. We've all had problems.
Well, two American authors - grown men of some accomplishment but diminished to the status of fanboy geeks - demeaned themselves by pleading for the boy wizard's life. Feh. Avada Kedavra, I say.
