And I'm all for that! Let the man not be perfect! Have a gray zone! I LOVE gray zones in a book. But I'm still pissed because after all of that I'm still getting treated to the Dumbledore is the best treatment by the end of the book and by the whole fanbase. It defeats the purpose of that.
And I'm not saying have Harry spit on his grave or something, but even at the end I felt he still glorified him (and by extension the fanbase) and that was what irked me about the whole thing. I knew people who wanted a mentor like Dumbledore if they ever were on Harry's position. Actually he's totally point 4 of limyaael's mentor rant:
He's a terrible mentor for putting himself before Harry and that whole last book was terrible for me. For the first time on that series I closed the book and hit it against a wall and a table (4 on the wall, 2 on a table).
The Deathly Hallows thing was so random that it was a major cause of annoyance. I would have preferred HP and the Deadly Horcruxes or HP and the awesome rebellion back at Hogwarth led by Neville that is more interesting than going around camping (I guess that title needed to be in very small font). It wasn't needed at all! Love is what defeats Voldermont and he was already powerful and evil without a special wand. Plus gathering those soul fragments was already a chore! It felt like JKR was focusing in having 2 epic adventures and falling short on both of them.
And what I want to know more than anything is why the hell did they store the cup in Hermione's bag but not the pendant? They are both cursed and the idiots are like "Well we can't store it in the bag so lets wear it." Was there a line I missed in there that said the pendant had a "Anti bag" spell or a "must be worn at all times" spell? I'm serious, did I missed something? What made it so much more protected by wearing it versus storing it? I will apologize to this whole part of the plot if it had a reasonable explanation and I was just too frustrated to catch it (Hey, it happens).
That whole thing bothered me because it felt like JK was forcing drama versus common sense. I would never wear something like that knowingly because it's already been shown that Voldermont can posses people via those horacruxes. UGH!!
