    You know, that is one thing that JKR got right - the fate of the house-elfs.

    Forgiving the Dursleys, especially if they are even worse than in canon.

    * nods emphatically *
    In general, I like it when he takes some perfectly legal financial revenge on them. Or walks off into the sunset, shaking the past forever.
    Although I DO approve of him putting some sort of detectors on the house, to alert him if Dudley has a magical child. That makes me feel good.

    I prefer it if a gas leak causes an explosion.

    I dislike it when the Dursleys survive.

    Harry doesn't have to kill them. The author can be creative.

    "How did they die?" Harry asked.

    "Well," the solicitor began, "that's actually... quite interesting. Apparently your Aunt was suffocted during an act of lovemaking with your Uncle, who then suffering a heart attack after, er... releasing his seed."

    Harry nodded. "And my cousin?"

    "After his parents were no longer able to protect him, about fifty citizens filed charges against Dudley including assault, robbery, and rape. He was sent to prison, and survived two weeks before being shanked."

    Harry tried but failed to hide his grin. "Thank you, you've been very helpful."

    As he turned to leave, the solicitor stood. "Er, Mr. Potter, what exactly are you going to do with those bottles of kerosene?"

    Harry smirked. "Give my relative's graves my final respects. Then it's off to Tahiti." And he disapparated.

    The Muggle stared at him in shock. Shaking his head, he pressed his intercom. "Lucy, I'm going to need you early today."

    "Sure thing, sir. Would you like the full service or just a blowjob?"

    Can't say that I've seen this happen.

    Sounds mighty retarded though.

    It typically involves Harry needing to save the world as if he doesn't have enough to do trying to get out from under dumbldedore's thumb or what ever shit they call a plot.

    Another peeve has got to be Harry just trying to go on holidays. Everyone knows that Harry doesn't have time for that.

    Unless it's Harry basically saying "Fuck Britain", taking off to the Bahamas with 50 million galleons or whatever Sirius left him that week, and the rest of the story being filthy, dirty smut.;)

    But he gets hot Caribbean pootang beforehand, yes? Then all is well in the world.

    One thing I really can't stand. Dating. I don't really give a jack shit where Harry took Hermione out to eat and how he stared into her beautiful eyes. It always seems to be action stories that need filler that do this, too, yet only do it once and it always ends up with someone attacking that one restaurant out of the hundreds of thousands in London so Harry can save his lover. Pisses me off to no end.

    Yes, well um no, he is still saving the wizarding world from their own screw up.
    either I do it, which means it will probably be a while, or some one else does it, the writing of a novel length Harry leaves England and starts a new life, I was thinking military career in the states just so you have something to write, of course crime boss works to if you want to write it that way.

    Another thing that pisses me off. Harry joining anything that is affiliated with guns. He's a bloody wizard! He's not a mafia!Mac Daddy who sells crack, pimps his hoes, and gat gats people. If he wants to sell drugs, let them be magical drugs. If he wants to shoot people, let it be with an Avada Kedavra. Anything but muggle weaponry. Just doesn't make it Harry Potter anymore.

    MAGIC can be tracked, any way what is he going to do pull out his wand and AK some MF.
    As for the pimping of hoes, summon inucubuses.
    The gun thing we disagree on, get people addicted on potions.

    Another thing, Lily actually believes in house elves rights. This is just annoying as then Lily is just Hermione with red hair.

    "But Muggls hav nukes!!1111!1!!!"

    Think about it. A gun would be useful if you're trying to remain undetected, or don't want it to be traced back to you, or simply don't want it to look magical.

    *Imagines Harry blowing Ron's brains out with a 9mm in Barbados, then going to back to the comely honey sharing his bed this week*

    Freud loves Harry Potter.

    Another peeve of mine is authors giving lame ass explanations or reasons for why/what/how something happened the way it did.

    "Its magic! LOLoLOL!!11!" is not an explanation. Only Mpreg writers and H/G shippers use that retarded excuse.

    I *do* loathe the stories that keep making Lily just like whichever girl is Harry's soulmate:
    House-elf rights if he's dating Hermione
    Seer if he's involved with Luna
    Redhead and a prankster if it's Ginny

    :p Really, Harry wants a family, and he wonders what he missed by not having parents, but ... it's a little unnerving, how many authors are trying to cut James out of the equation.
