"Yea for Harry! Harry is a great hero, even though he can have his attitute issues, but every kid does!" Harry's not a kid anymore, and I have never noticed any attitude issues. What happened in book 5 was perfectly understandable. He'd been ignored all throughout his childhood, and then he was thought he was being ignored by his friends, and felt abandoned. Darth Vader came in first for best villian, but I don't consider him really a villian, he never did anything that evil.

Harry is a great hero. I would have also voted for him. We all watch him grow up, and that's what makes him special.

As he should.
Harry Potter is amazing. He should be named number one. He's just...Harry Potter. It totally makes sense.

I also thought of JK when I read about this. Her Harry Potter stories certainly have a life of their own now.
