Well, I will readily cop to being uncomfortable with some of the more socially awkward scenes in 4 and 5 partially because of my own insufficiently dim memories of being a socially awkward teenaged boy. But I don't recall ever having met anybody in high school who spent the whole day talking in all caps, which was how Harry reacted to anything more traumatic than a stubbed toe in Order of the Phoenix. I mean sure, if he's going to lose his temper at the drop of a hat, that's a legitimate choice on Rowling's part (though I'm still not sure I agree with it—most teenaged angst I encountered more morose and less explosive), but can we find some means of expressing it in print that doesn't hurt my eyes?
