As for Rowlings name, I’ve seen it mis-spelled quite a few times by newspapers, etc. I’m amused that this is the best argument that you can come up with. This suggests that my criticisms about the final book are relevant.

No, your continuing to do it on purpose after having had the error pointed out to you a dozen times marks you as an obvious troll, and it does in fact render your other "opinions" irrelevant. You're just basking in all the negative attention you are being given - like a bratty child.

A. It’s a pet peeve of mine when people don’t actually respond to the content of one’s post and instead harp on spelling, grammar, etc., as if these are somehow relevant to the debate at hand. If you want to debate back and forth concerning the content of the ending of HP. I will respond back to you with why I think that you’re wrong, but it’ll be an actual debate.

B. Some of the whining and calling of troll does suggest that hardcore Harry Potter fans are not really open to criticism of their favorite book. I happen to believe that unlike math or science there’s more than one answer regarding a book, and each answer should be open to interpretation. I have serious issues with the book.. the most serious of which was the ending. I also think that it happened to be deathly boring in the middle and didn’t spend enough time at Hogwarts, etc.

C. “bratty child.” Name-calling is the only thing that I hate more than grammar, spelling issues taking the place of real debate. Please keep it civil or I’ll have to report you to the moderators.
