Phoenix fan, what are your thoughts on the first 150 pages or so? I find emo Harry to be unbearable.
I never once thought of him like that. Harry has serious problems to do deal with. I swear to god, comparing those problems to the dating nonsense of Goblet makes him look like he's matured 15 years.
I find that people use emo when issues make a character unlikeable, regardless of the "validity" of their emotions. The thing I remember about Harry in Order wasn't that he was whiny, it's that he became kind of mean and it was kind of uncomfortable... But that only made it better. I love when an author has the confidence to do that with such a beloved character to show that although they're the good guy, they're not always going to do the right thing.
It's hard for me to vote in this poll since I've seen each of the movies at least 3 times since reading ANY of the books again, but I think reading OotP was the most exciting for me, while Goblet had the most pre-release hype. Deathly Hallows is hard to rank because conclusions always get an extra bump in my mind for tying everything together.
