Thank you! You are too sweet. Actually, you are, as earlier this week I lost my head a bit and got a little emotional, and I'm still trying to work out my response to some things that have been flying around except I can't put it all into the right words quite yet--it's fanon stuff about reviewers and shipping and character hate.

However I will say that it seems to me that there is this sticky bit that people have between their reaction to the books and their understanding of what JKR wants us to think/feel. I'm generally in the camp of, JKR gets one chance to tell us how to think and feel, and that's when she's writing the book. I'm not sure that feeling about the books exactly the way JKR does means you're a better fan. But this is all still in the early thoughts stage.
