........ and now on the day after

Huh, my post earlier today doesn't seem to be enitrely lucid or well thought out. Kinda a mindless, sleep-deprived rant. Bugger.

Anywhoos, read the book, thought it to be satisfying. Rowling's weakest character by far is her titular character, Harry Potter. He's very much a cipher, his character serves theme and plot, but I don't necessarily think of him as a person. Ron, Hermione, them I think of as people because they're well developed and are far much more interesting then our forehead scarred hero. Harry doesn't really exist other then to serve the story, I can't imagine him living a life outside of the books, with the other characters I can. And Rowling? Why did you have to start calling him the "Chosen One"? *shudders*
