Did Harry really annoy you in the Fifth book?

He really annoyed me the whole way through. If I was Ron, I'd give me a smack. He was always moaning.[/i]

Ron or Harry? It's a bit confusing. They both annoyed me. :evil:

They're teenage boys, they're supposed to be annoying.

I dunno, I kinda felt bad for Harry. He's been through a lot and he has some room to be pissed off.

I agree. What I find annoying is that in PHOENIX the author has gone overboard finding injustices to pile on Harry. All the people who know him, if they would stop to think for just one second, would know all that propaganda about him is lies. The story has lost its reality for me.

Reading Chap 13,

He's a teenager -- the perfect portrayal of one, if we're thinking in stereotypes. Now that Dumbledore has finally told him a lot that he needed to know, I think that will help him grow up.

Yeah... I think he will to, also because of

, which, imo, will make him grow up some more.

about the above spoiler...I can't believe she did that...I bawled...he was my favorite character...*sob*
I was totally annoyed by all three of the group in that one...Hermione least of all, probably, but still...I do think Rowling wrote them really well, though...I remember being a lot like Harry (pent-up anger that just explodes and all) when I was that age.

I don't really blame Harry much for being that upset. Though I thought he was more mature than that.

Although if I were Harry I'd of slapped Dumbledore for not telling me all that stuff sooner :roll: May of helped out a lot in understanding everything.

Yeah... I do concede the point that he had every right to be pi**ed off... but still... go have a pie already! :P

LOL!! Ron and Harry annoyed me. I mean, stop whining and save the Wizarding World already!! sheesh!!
Harry was a bit snowed under with a whole lot of crap. But he shouldn't of payed so much attention to it. Ron was just annoying because he kept saying 'mate'. Get a new word mate.
Hermoine: I just like Hermione. :)

No way, it had to be more than that! Wasn't it?

I think Harry handled everything laid on him remarkably well. 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... :?
