because it didn't - not in the sense of a tight plot, or a cheery turn of phrase. After the bloat that was OoTP, Ms. Rowling enrolled her muse on a pilates course and a string of slow release foods - and how! It's just at times... I felt a bit rushed by the book, if you know what I mean? This after reading it four times for various metas I still felt as if I were being pushed through the pages, because the author seemed impatient to have done with it. On the plus side, all the spaces in that book seemed to be filled in, whereas in OoTP there were certain gaps that only fanfic could fill, you know?
But I've found that my appetite for fanfic decreased after HBP, because all actions by all personalities were accounted for (and also, I can't be getting all involved in the characters to just have my heart broken as they are reduced to a plot point)).
I'll be reading the seventh book out of intellectual curiousity, not necessarily because I'm dying to see what will happen, in the sense that I've invested all this time in a series, and I need to get some closure.

Man, I won't say that HBP blew chunks...
