One of the many things that is compelling about it is that increasingly I am convinced they have only read as far as the third book, if that.

I don’t think it helps that James’s characterisation changes rather sharply between books 3 and 5 - prior to that he’s always presented as Fred/George prankster who had a reciprocated hatred of Snape, whereas from book 5 the bullying/bad behaviour is presented as very one sided.
