Yeah, there's always book 7, but I hope you understand why I'm not so enthusiastic about it anymore. HBP was JKR's "best" book, but in reality, it's a steaming pile of dung that will not stand the test of time. I have the sinking (haha, bad pun) suspicion that JKR will fulfill the Mary Sue template completely, down to the sacrificial death of Ginny Sue, i.e. Ginny could be the last Horcrux and selflessly commit suicide, after which all the world, including the heartbroken Harry, mourns her death.

It sounds like an amateur fanfic, but I'm not kidding here. HBP was like a VOMIT masterpiece.

Austen huh? A big name for comparison.

Of all the things I've written, I'm proudest of my essay, but all of it is based on the assumption that JKR is a competent writer who knows what she's doing, who drops hints everywhere, who is able to spot a Mary Sue just by her flaming windswept hair and flawlessness.

To my dismay, JKR is NOT such an author.

Therefore, my entire analysis is moot, no matter how logical I may have been, no matter how much canon I may have presented.

JKR doesn't deserve to be compared to the likes of Jane Austen.
