Ya, the longer the book the better imo. I really couldn't relate to this book very well though. Harry was such an asshole throughout the whole thing. Flipping out on anybody and ****. I mean....this encredibly hot chick likes you and you act like an asshole to her? I mean really?
I'm hoping the next book will be another 100-300 pages longer..but the book needs to not drag quite as much. In the goblet of fire the whole quidditch world cup thing was flowing really nicely and was full of climatic ****. Very interesting. Hogwarts didn't start until half way through the book(same with order of phoenix but all the stuff before hogwarts seemed too much like filler)
I'm seriously annoyed at the way Harry acts though. I don't know if Rowling was trying to tap into what kids feel and how they act...but it didn't work. If I was harry's friend i'd beat the crap out of him at some points. Ron and Hermoine were trying to help him and be nice and he took it the wrong way the whole time. Also, i don't like the characters outlook on things. It's like they always want revenge on people they don't like. With me there's some moral conflicts there. Someone needs to give harry a lesson in how to be a nice, fun person. Rowling also makes it seem like it's perfectly alright for Harry to act like such a dickweed to everybody...like they owe him something. Dumbledore saves Harry's ungrateful ass from Voldemort and what does Harry do? Get's pissed off at dumblydore. At the beginning of the book too, harry's really pissed at Dumbledore for no reason.
Cot damn, for the 6th book it better have Harry sending a boatload of "i'm sorry" letters to Cho.
And Harry acts no better than his dad. Just in different way.
