I do agree that movie heroes arent as badass as they should be. I was never very into the Harry Potter series but I did see all of the movies and I was really disappointed that he never progressed beyond being a weakling that got lucky some times. By the last one he should have been dominating folks.
Fighting wasn't the point of the harry potter series, it was a kids book. JK never really did write the action scenes very well. She was more about character development and their interactions with each other. She wrote him to be a kid, not a child god among men. She even made clear in the last book that he was slightly above average when fighting everyone else and only exceptionally powerful when confronting Voldemort because of carrying part of Voldemort's soul.

The amount of hype and faith the other wizards put in Harry Potter was disproportionate to his skill which is what bothered me.

I really didn't get that from the books. The general public were all super impressed he survived a killing curse and wondered if he was invincible I guess, but the adults he knew treated him like a kid with no power a lot.

The only one who really knew what Harry was going to do was Dumbledore, and he pretty much knew why/how to everything it seemed like... The adult he knew treated him like the kid he was for the most part. They didn't let him take part in the Order and other stuff. Harry just ran around behind their backs from what I remember.
