Therefore my point stands. Also, I think I was in that subset of the population.A creepy, arrogant seven year old who's too smart for her own good
I disagree. The end was awesome. It wasn't desired, and it was one of the biggest cliffhangers I've ever personally read, and I screamed in frustration after reading it and realizing I wouldn't get a conclusion to it, but it was still awesome. And at the very least, the story we had been reading was finished and given a proper epilogue. We get to see what happens with everyone. And after that, then the aggravation happened.Also, Animorphs was awesome. Except the end.

Length and difficulty. Also, bad things may have happened, but they aren't graphic enough to warrant being in the Grown Ups section. I mean, Julie gets raped, yes? But that's nothing compared to the Iron Rod of Kushiel's Avatar. Or the Squick that is everything that Auel writes.::clears throat:: Harry Potter is not exactly light and fluffy...
I'm not entirely sold on the whole 'it's about lighter subjects' thing:
The Little Mermaid (not disney here) Ariel turns into seafoam and dies because the prince didn't love her back
Julie of the Wolves Julie gets raped
Animorphs didn't read it but someone said it...
The Pied Piper all the kids get kid napped
Pollyana She get Paralyzed
Bridge to Tarabitha The little girl dies
The Light in the Forest the whole damned book is depressing A boy was kidnapped and raised by Native Americans then gets forced back into the white man's world and then he gets exiled from them by helping his adopted cousin out
I can't think of anymore right now
....so yeah maybe not happy endings for YA either. Maybe the difference is length...?
From his new fic Long Night of the HarvestDon't forget: Mass Effect is powered by magic space rocks. Evangelion is powered by Your Mom.
There's also the fact that it's made of paper, and remember that magical protections often overlook non-magical methods (like the twins getting Bill with a water bucket over the door). It's actually more surprising that the diary was able to resist mundane fire at all.As for the dairy perhaps harry thought because it was the first horcux that it was not as protected as the rest. I could be wrong.
