I've enjoyed your previous reviews, and I completely understand why you're stopping. On the whole, I've thought that Rowling did a petty good job with the books and I thought that she was making at least some attempt (not always successful) to get across a decent moral message.
I was deeply unhappy with the Dumbledore announcement. So uncessary. Such a poke in the eye. So disappointing.

a brazen attempt to be culturally relevant. there is not a hint of homo in the entire series and she does this? next week the series will be a parable about the dangers of global warming and the week after that it will be that Voldemort is actually AIDS.
she pretty much ruined her books acceptance to millions of readers by becoming political retroactively.

So in other words, had Rowling made the statement about Dumbledore a few weeks ago it would have saved him from reading books 1 thru 5?

When and where are we going to have the book burning?

No one can accuse you of not giving the books a fair reading.
For some reason, my daughters have never been interested in the series so I never started reading it.

I consider myself a fairly astute reader but I didn't pick up on any "butt lust connection" between Dumbledore and the Dark Wizard, Grindelwald.
However, given Rowling's statement above, I guess I wasn't astute enough in my reading here given that I'm generally not prone to assume that two male characters who are friends are actually doing more with their wands than just casting spells. But hey, maybe I'm just old fashioned.
That says it all.
