But really- an incredible good book. If they make that into a movie i want to see how they decide to do thestels, harry's detetion with Umbridge and Kreature
THESTRALS! THEY ARE CALLED THESTRALS! ugh. Sorry. That just irritated me.

Anyhow, I thought the book was in general good, but I had a few problems with it personally.

For one, Harry is becoming this angsty brat throughout the whole thing. I'm not sure of that was JKR's intent, butif not, she could have easily figg'rd out a better way to portray his frustration rather than kicking the crap out of Dumbledore's instruments or storming around his room. Also, through the whole thing, he keeps reminding Ron and Hermione that he was the one who did this and he was the one who did that without anyone's help. It get's pretty fuggin annoying, you know?

As for Grawp, a complete waste of time. It did nothing for the story, other than give Rowling an easy out for getting rid of Umbridge. Granted, it was kind of cool to see her traumatized by the whole thing, but I doubt Grawp will develop into anything pertinent in the next book, either.

Harry and Cho. Ok. Cho's got a major inferiority complex as far as Harry talking to Hermione instead of her. Granted, it was a bad choice to bring it up in the middle of thier date, but I still think she could have handled it better. As for the mistletoe scene, nice work. I loved the feel of it and (lol) Harry's reaction to it. Harry really needs to learn how to talk to the fairer sex, though. I mean, come on. It's kind of pathetic.

I dunno. That's just my opinion on the book.
