The Dennis-The-Crazy-Guy-At-My-Old-Job Harry Potter Review

Now, I'm not saying that Ms. J.K. isn't a good writer, alright? I mean she's decent. Agian, although, it is familiar ground she is covering. Am I wrong? Magic? Down trodden boys? We've heard it before. But here is what really bothers me - Harry, Hermione, and Ron are sixteen now. Shouldn't they be, you know, throwing their uglies around a bit by now. Harry lived a sheltered life so I can buy him not "snogging" every other thing in a training bra, but these others can't really be so asexual as this. I've seen the statistics and, really, there should have been more than a handfull of "magical" pregos hauling themselves to herbology classes. This Cho girl for instance. She seemed a bit too eager for any believable innocence. She's got to air out that orchid with the speed she goes through 'em. Maybe Malfoy is using his Bad Boi charm to get him some inside action between the lines. But I'm going to need at the very least a hint of it. I mean, if Rowling wants us to get behind her fantasy world then we've got to smell it! Speaking of - the only bathroom scenes involved a crying ghost that went there to hide. What? Nobody shits at Hogwarts?

Well, I haven't yet finished The Half-Blood Prince so I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for a small bit of real world texture. But I'm not banking on it. What a conservative sell-out Rowling is. Stupid Scots.
