Yes - unfortunately, those of us who were mostly here for the Harry Potter fandom, and who then found that DH ruined Harry Potter entirely, will have less reason to hang out on livejournal. But I do follow some political blogs, so I'll certainly keep an eye on yours still, if it's still active.
BTW, I'm doing a brief follow-up post so people can see what on earth I'm talking about. It's true you and I have different tastes in literature - I love good fantasy for children, and have since I was a child. But, if there is one thing I'd like you to understand, it's that the Potter books are not good fantasy. Not good children's fantasy - not any kind of good fantasy. It would be a shame to be turned off of an entire branch of literature just because of these books.
The Attolia books aren't fantasy, anyway. They could be seen as alternate history/political intrigue, set in a country very like Renaissance Greece. As for Paver, take a look at this link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30965518/ns/today-today_books/
It's the first few pages of Wolf Brother, and if any reader, after reading them, didn't feel for this kid and want to know what would happen to him, I'd be really surprised.
