What Readers Hate

More like what I hate anyway...

spelling and grammar

Seriously, people have NEVER heard of the word "check". Not to mention "double check" also.

And the most common problem I see in stories is spelling.

That's right, people. Spelling.

And I will put the words on here.

Patronus spelling errors:

Some idiot wrote this story called Harry Potter the Two Years After the Final Battle. And he also spelled a Patronus a PETRONAS. He got only 6 letters right. How sad.

Luckily, this is the only one I have spotted.

Animagus grammar/spelling errors:

EXAMPLE:

"I DON'T WANT TO PRACTICE WITH MCGONAGALL!"

"But your anamagi forms are getting better, Harry. Just practice. You know how the saying goes: Practice makes perfect."

Anamagi. ANAMAGI. Some people thought Animagus wasn't even a word in the HP world and so they decided to use Anamagi.

NAMES

Ginny

I don't know why people spell Ginny's full name wrong. They call her Virginia. Seriously, have people ever read the books? It's Ginevra, people! Ginevra Molly Weasley!

So many authors are wrong!

Draco

Draco Lucius Malfoy. Luckily, I've only spotted one of this error.

Spells

Some authors really piss me off by adding a "o" or a "dra" at the end of a word and make it a spell! Use Latin, people!

Hexes, Curses, Jinxes, Charms, and Spells

Hexes are minor curses that do little damage. Jinxes are basically the same of hexes except they use it to distract. Curses are spells that do more damage than hexes or jinxes.

Charms are spells that don't do any damage at all, and not usually used in dueling. Spells are not hexes, jinxes, curses, or charms.

Expelliarmus!

People call this Disarming Spell a curse or charm, etc. However, it is really just a spell, and not a curse.

Stupefy!

This is the Stunning Spell, not curse or charm, etc.

Unforgivables

Crucio!

This is the Cruciatus Curse, a spell used for torturing. You really need to mean it though, I quote from Trixie. Ahem, sorry, Bellatrix. Also, if used too many times, it causes BRAIN DAMAGE. Look at Alice and Frank Longbottom. They're in the Permanent Ward in St. Mungos.

Avada Kedavra!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is not called Avada Kedaevra. The Killing Curse is quick and painless, and destroys the body and soul.

If you get any of the Unforgivables wrong, I will use the Imperius Curse on you and make you strip.

I'll try to get more errors. Bye.
