Parts of it are SO stupid but other parts are so great?? (i own an old copy, so jkr gets 0 cents out of me) I was honestly really fascinated by the way the story weaves together totally normal teenage problems (sports, bullying, dates, exams, school rules, adults' contempt) and Harry's life-and-death Voldemort-related problems. She avoids this trap of like, "Harry's not a normal teen, he's got BIGGER problems" and shows how ALL of the things the gang struggles with feed into each other. And eventually, the good adults' contempt for the teens is their downfall.
