Yeah, I saw Jax's post and I knew Kristal wasn't enamored (which honestly surprised me) but yeah, I still can't figure out just what the giant plot holes are... And I do know a rather disturbing amount of canon, but I'm also fairly blase about a lot of it, admittedly and can write off a lot of things (like the randomly reappearing sorting hat, for example) with a 'eh, it's magic, there's a reason I'm sure' which definitely helps when reading these books.
