Yes Harry is an annoying teenager in book five and I applaud Rowlings for writing him like that and letting her hero grow up! I like it that he isn't so cute and likable anymore, if he keeps this up he will grow up to be a real human being instead of remaining a boy-hero forever! Hurray!

How many of us could have witnessed a friend's murder, been tortured ourselves, and come out of it as well as Harry did?? I know I wouldn't have been able too. Any "whining" that Harry did, was perfectly reasonable in my opinion. He didn't annoy me at all...what annoyed me was Dumbledore and everyone else around him, none of them HELPED him deal with what happened to him. Dumbledore was the worst, completely ignoring him when he needed him the most...

Great post! You have a couple of good points there... no-body really helped him... except Luna... and even that happened at the end of the book.

I was just kidding that he should stop whining.

I'm glad he is starting to get annoying, otherwise he would just end up as a goodytwo-shoes/ boring twit of a character.

yeah. I hate these perfect hero's in these fanasty stories... they just annoy me... part of the reason I like TC so much is because he's not your average hero.

Did Harry really annoy you in the Fifth book?
