obtrusive and necessary personality adjustments

[cimorene]

I know this isn't a novel thought because I think it every time I read a bunch of Harry Potter fanfiction and I've probably posted about it more than once before, but:

Usually when Harry is too well characterized I find the fic too annoying and sometimes I can't even finish it, and I definitely prefer fic where he's unrealistically not-stupid.

I'm enjoying one right now where he's way too calm and reasonable, and just a couple of days ago I finished another one where I kept thinking "What an idiot! That's definitely in character... ugh."

Trying to remember if this is the only fandom/fanfic character I feel that way about...
