I gots those moments and when I read things that just don't ring true despite the obvious effort it can be rather frustrating, sort of What the Hell are you watching kind of a connection because it's obviously not the same thing as me. But on such a deeper level, maybe because the author is actively attempting to mask a dislike for the character.
Yes, exactly, it's both the "ringing false" and the masking that I'm talking about, and that bothers me so much. It's not the author's problem--she is trying to be thoughtful and fair to canon and write well. It's my problem. And it bugs me! I'm glad you understand, though, because I was worried everyone was going to be reading this post and think, "omg! TKP doesn't like other points of view! How narrow IS she?"
Ron Weasley in the movie adaptation of Chamber of Secrets was another big one.
Ha! I think that was definitely a love or hate part. I liked it, thought the actor did a good job with it, too.
See now there, we can totally agree to disagree and it just warms the cockles of my heart, instead of turning me into a ranting...well, ok, maybe not bitch, but yeah. *dances with you and your points of view*
