You can tell in this incarnation of HP that he does not belong to Gryffindor; he has no recognition of bravery or self-sacrifice. For all that he prides himself on logic, his logical chain of thought is tenuous at best. He postulates a theoretical situation as true then extends it out to a conclusion never realizing that his initial supposition has not been established as fact. And he does this repeatedly.

Voldemort's arguments for being Voldemort are so correct. Good guys are never adequately respected or admired or appreciated.

The writer loves to apply his scientific knowledge of myriad studies but as far as actually writing a story with well thought out characters and characterizations, this is lacking. For all the introspection Hp engages in, he needs to sit down and assess what is actually going on and to quit falling into intellectual black holes.

Some parts of this the author gets way too carried away with his own supposed erudition and cleverness. The circular logic spirals out of control. Hp is altogether too blinded by his own intellect to actually listen and understand anyone else and somehow he thinks that intellect can completely take the place of life experience. He really is a consummate jackass.

It started off kinda cute and I actually love the dissection of scientific practices and principles but in the last 100 pages it has gone past obnoxious. And it has been 450 pages of his first week of classes. I am fine with the complete recharacterization of the books but really...

I have heard some mention of similarities to Ender Wiggin but in reading so far, he is more the embodiment of Peter Wiggin. He is not a likeable kid, irregardless of his purported intelligence which does not bear close scrutiny. Honestly, there is more than a little authorial arrogance so far. The sorting hat's analysis of HP seems spot-on and I dislike the recharacterization of Hermione so far.
