Mind sharing what those are?

I would assume that one would be a Coming of Age story, which pretty much sums up HP

Harry Potter is like Star Wars in that the hero doesn't get the girl, but the secondary hero does. And I hate that in both of them >:[

I did feel that book six was wildly more like a Final Fantasy or RPGs in general, than any of the ones before it (a mystic quest to find the things that comprise Voldemort and will allow you to kill him? Hello looking for parts of Dracula's body in Simon's Quest!) maybe that's why it's one of my favorites. It read like a great big fanfic. Or maybe that was book five. I thought that about one of them anyways. I thought it was book six though;o;o;o;;;;;;;;
