I dislike HP because I get the impression that JKR is being slightly condescending with the language she uses. I don't get that with Tolkien and Pratchett, but Rowling seems (to me) to have used a word, gone 'Oh, but that's too difficult" and used a word from the 'Oxford Picture Dictionary' instead.

Don't kill me, that's just my impression.
