That said, I now have to confess in a small voice that I don't like Harry very much these days. He's rash and foolhardy and absolutely convinced that he's the only one who understands, or is capable of understanding, what's going on. "A typical teenager," I hear everyone telling me, and I recognise the truth of it. Still, believing that, and refusing to listen to advice from anyone, be they adults or Hermione and Ron, he sets in motion events that have catastrophic results for other people. And then he seems to be suitably horrified, but I have my doubts that it's more than show, because he doesn't learn anything, and so the cycle just repeats itself. I told someone the other day that if Harry ends up dying in Deathly Hallows, I won't be that upset. He's got one book now to convince me to feel differently.

I wonder how much I need to say about this book ;-)
