sometimes i hate not being eloquent, because there are so many things i could talk about, but no. it makes me upset.
so today, i'm gonna talk about Harry Potter, because i can't give coherent thoughts on any of the important issues at hand that don't involve wizards.

specifically, i want to talk about Cho and some thing that's bothering me. i've recently wondered why the book treats all girls as something to be decoded, instead of treating all people as immensely complicated human beings. i've already taken a step back and realised that, of course, the book is told from Harry's point of view. and that's probably how he feels about the situation. even so, it still irks me. it gnaws at me the same way Harry's attitude does, despite it being pointed out to me that he was probably suffering PTSD. i can't let it go. but at the same time, i can't expect a 15 year old boy to see women (and really, everybody) as the complex creatures that they are when he's got the mentality of, well... a 15 year old. which is another thing that bothers me. i knew what i was getting into when i sat down to read a tome about Harry Potter in a constant bad mood. i knew. and yet i can't help but be annoyed. and then i feel bad because i expect too much.

if you've stayed this long, thanks for reading yet another HP rant. i'll try to find something else to talk about next time.
