Am I the only Potterhead here?!

I happen to be a fan of the book series (as well as having most of the books on tape). The movies can mostly go tickle themselves, though.

Luna Lovegood is the best designed character of the lot Smile

They are.

Really annoying. With dialect less is more. Give a few key words per paragraph and the reader fills in the rest in his head.

My background is in classical literature... I do not understand your struggles Levitate

I can't even imagine having a member of the American deep south whose written speech is similar to that of a damn New Yorker. Dialect gives familiar culture and voice to your characters... it'd be a shame to not utilize it.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
