/Harry not being interested in Ginny at this point feels natural, but if Jo wanted them to end up together so badly, she should start working on their relationship in either this book or the next one/
Yes, I don't understand why, if Harry x Ginny was endgame from the beginning, JKR didn't set it up earlier. Yeah, okay, Harry's only twelve here and she wanted to write about Harry's crush on Cho in Book Four and Five, but Ginny still could've been there as a friend. It's not just that he doesn't have romantic feelings for Ginny until Book Six, it's that he doesn't notice her at all. She's barely around in Book Four and is mostly unheard of in Book Three. She's not really part of the Trio at all. This is the book where Harry finally gets to really meet Ginny, but after he rescues her from Tom, she's put on the back burner until HBP.
/Instead of trying to forcefully free House Elves, Hermione should start campaign against animal abuse/
Or abuse against Muggles, especially considering that her parents are Muggles. She sees Winky's treatment in GOF and starts SPEW, but seeing the Roberts family being attacked by Death Eaters apparently isn't enough to make her start an organization to protect Muggles.
/Kids at Hogwarts are learning how to break laws of universe, yet here Ron is horrified that anyone could bother with schoolwork during holidays. Only Rowling could make learning magic sound tedious/
I think that this is just meant to be another parody/echo of the real world. Ron doesn't like homework, because what kid wants homework?
/It’s like in between chapters somebody erased some memories from her brain/
And in between books as well, considering that we never hear of Molly or Arthur trying to get Harry removed from the Dursleys after they learn how they treat him.
/An aristocrat admonishing his son in presence of salesman?/
But Draco is so much worse than Dudley, guys. Can't you see Vernon reprimanding Dudley about his grades in public?
/I see that Jo decided to ramp up the Weasleys-are-very-poor theme so Harry can feel worse about his fortune. Strange that he doesn’t think that he should buy some kind of gift for Ron’s parents for their hospitality/
He doesn't buy gifts for Hermione in return for her gifts, either. The one time that he does give away money, it's the prize money in GOF and he gives it to the Weasley twins so that they can start a joke shop.
/Yeh should’ve ignored him, Arthur,’” said the man who would be the first to join brawl, if Lucius was badmouthing Dumbledore/
And likely hex Draco as well, given what he did to Dudley. In fact, that's one point that Arthur has over Hagrid: he attacked Lucius, but at least he didn't go after Lucius's child.
