This is not my opinion. It's an excerpt from an artikel titled link. I have however come across a few people who have voiced the same thing. Just curious to know people's thought on this.

I’ve read all of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books—devoured them, really, because whatever her flaws, the lady does a terrific job at building compulsive narratives and enjoyable worlds. But the lebih time I spend away from the series, the lebih its problems get to me, and the biggest problem of them all is the main character himself. Harry is, to put it kindly, an absolute no one. He suffers at the hands of the despicable Dursleys because, hey, what’s a hero’s journey without a little suffering? Then one hari he learns he’s inherited great powers and wealth, neither of which have any connection to him beyond basic genetics. The news hunts him down like a wretch-seeking missile, and before anda know it, Harry’s whisked away to a magical land where he’s repeatedly informed how wonderful he is sejak strangers, all without ever having accomplished atau earned much of anything beyond a passive ability to not die. Yes, Mr. Potter makes his fair share of enemies, and yes, he does do his best to live up to the responsibility of being the most famous boy wizard in the world. But the series never shakes the fact that Harry is destined to heroism less sejak merit than sejak fait accompli, and every good fortune that comes his way plays like wish-fulfillment to distract us from the fact that there’s no real center to the kid. He’s as generic as a Hardy Boy, and when Rowling did try and give him some edge, he became just another self-centered, whiny teenager, telah diberi to fits of self-loathing that manifested as witless sarcasm and dull surliness. It’s not that Harry Potter is a horrible person, atau even the worst fictional character to ever grace a Fantasi narrative; Fantasi does, after all, rely an awful lot on prophecy and fate. It’s just hard to accept that a writer capable of characters like Severus Snape and Hermione Granger chose to rest the crux of her narrative on a boy whose most memorable personality trait is a facial scar.

Before anda all come out with pitchforks and guns, I'd just like to say this is my opinion.
1, Half of the peminat-peminat only like Twilight, because they think Rob/Taylor is hot.
2, I can't argue about the plot because there isn't one.
3, Bella has no personaility.
4, Edward is just plain creepy.
5, Bella always needs a man in her life. When Edward leaves she needs Jacob. This is really stupid.
6,Bella wouldn't even look at Edward if he wasn't hot.
7, Edward wouldn't look at Bella if she didn't smell good.
8, It gives a bad message. Like kill yourself when your sparkly boyfriend is around. atau there is no point in being happy unless anda have a boyfriend. atau it's ok to ditch your Friends to tarikh a super hot vampire.
9,Meyer constantly repeats the same words to tell us how hot Edward is. This gets boring after two pages.
10, The actors suck.
There,ten reasons. Feel free to add on more.

Is it just me, atau does it seem like most of the Twilight peminat-peminat feel that they have to write in capitol letters to get their points across? Personally i find it really annoying.
It's also a fact that if anda write in capitol letters IT TAKES LONGER FOR THE BRAIN TO PROCESS THE INFORMATION and therefore takes longer to read. Originally all the road signs (In England anyway) were written in capitol letters, until they were redone and someone found that smaller case letters were quicker to read. So they changed it.
So seterusnya time anda feel like shouting because your book sucks, don't write in capitols, but put...
*shouting*... at the begining of your speech.
Thank you. That is all.
