Something I think Rowling did particularly well, a moment from a later book alluded to in an earlier one, or even something that I DON'T think she did very well, words that are used too frequently (in one book, Hermione and Luna are constantly saying things "vaguely". In Pheonix, Harry and Neville do an awful lot of "roaring" - pet peeve!) Still, all of that just strengthens my connection to the book. There are all these layers - good and bad - that I continue to discover.

That she was able to create characters we've come to know as well as friends and family, and a world that we want to linger in a little longer. I've read and/or listened to the books dozens of times, and I certainly have my issues with the plot points and story arcs, and even underlying philosophy of the last three books, but I wouldn't trade my experience with HP for any other reading experience.
