I think that there’s nothing wrong with fifteen year olds writing fanfiction.. I am going to be critical of a multi-millionaire author choosing to end her book with a piece of fanfiction that reads like it was written by a fifteen year old author... One’s an amateur author who isn’t going to get his/ her work published; the other is getting paid millions of dollars. I expect the latter author to come up with something of greater quality than the former. 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, it suggests that your criticisms are as ill-thought-out as your posts, honestly. There was a person on another Harry Potter thread who claimed her misuse of grammar and punctuation (and she had previous claimed an English Lit degree) were because she was talking to us stupid people. Not a good way to try to score points.

Obviously you are one of the few who feels the epilogue was badly written. Sorry you feel that way but she can't please all of the people out there, especially when some wanted Harry dead and many wanted him to live. Too bad you didn't enjoy the book, but a lot of us did, including people older and more mature than yourself, so don't act like we're all stupid immature teenagers because we don't see things like you do.

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.
