5.To paraphrase Cracked.com "And Harry will have to find all of the Horcruxes in book 7, making this an RPG where you must find the "7 magical items" to break some "loosely explained barrier" to get into the "final dungeon" where in the end you're still a "total nerd".

I didn't really look to Harry Potter to redefine the genre. I thought the charm of JK Rowling was that she just does stuff that has been done before, but in a solid way and with cute and imaginative details. Plus, for the original target audience, all this stuff was new to them.

Then again, I probably wasn't as big of a fan of the series as most, so my expectations were kind of low.
