Harry potter... and why i am so sick with him...

Because of the exams ( i am having mock exams even though my EOY is over), i am not going to be indulging in my normal type of topic, which involves "criticising" some people or organisation ( although i already have in mind what i am going to be criticising)

So, i would be ranting on Harry Potter and its various exploits.

With the release of the 6th Harry Potter book, I found myself flipping through the first few books so as to refresh my memory on what happened in each year where Harry Potter is at Hogwarts. JIC you had also forgot the order of the books, they are:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher stone (Read around 6 times)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Read around 6 times)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Read around 6 times)
Harry Potter and the Globet of Fire (Read around 5 times)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix ( Read around 2.5 times)(skipped the chapter where they were in the department of mystery, could not stand seeing Harry Potter being stupid again...)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (going to read)
Harry Potter and the ?????????????
which i am presuming to be something like " the dark lord......"

So anyway, why am i so sick with him. Firstly, according to the magic: the gathering colour pie, red is the colour of emotions. Well, i like to put Harry Potter right in the middle of red. Why? you may ask, well, he doesn't think at all....
The first book was fine and all, other than the part about Norbert, which i feel is a bit of a fault on Hagrid part...
the second book started off very red with driving the car to hogwarts... but other than that it was fine...
The third book was a bit dumb with sirius and all appearing, no problem with that though
The fourth book was really dumb. Personally, anyone wishing to be Harry Potter deserves a kick in the head. Getting into a tournament that he should not even be part of, getting all the attention, erm, getting killed...

The fifth book has just got to hit the cake...
Imagine if you are Harry Potter...
First, your scar is always hurting because of well, you-know-who
Second, you have a stupid dream which always ends in the corridor of the department of mystery
Third, you got umbridge around your back
Fourth, you lost someone whom you used to be able to talk to (Dumbledore comes to mind)
Fifth, you have a girlfriend whom crys all over you whenever you start talking about someone (Cho and Cedric comes to mind pretty frequently)
Sixth, you accidentally led to the death of your Godfather (i hate seeing sirius go)
Well, people whom are still thinking about it better get kicked in the face...

And, Ollivandar words still don't make sense. In the first book, he said that using a different wizards wand would not achieve the same result as using your own. Well, this "revelation" has rarely even been used...
In the second book when Lockhart used Ron's spoilt wand, that did not count because it spoilt
In the third book, Sirius used someone's wand, but no explicit mention of the difference is observed
In the fourth book, Voldemort and Harry Potter "duel" ( if you can count that as dueling) where their beams connect, reminds me of those very old cartoons, where two heroes fire some rays at each other at the same time and then they try to force that part towards the other side (Usually the evil side) and then a BOOM would occur following with someone being blasted to smitheerins...(Peter Pettigrew comes to mind)
Fine, that was a result, but still no mention of difference in the usage of different wands........

So? Ollivander words would be used in the last or the sixth book????
Maybe

And, well, that should be enough.
