Well, Harry majorly messes up at the end of the third to last book, jumping to conclusions, FWIW. I can't remember what happens in the last couple of books, though, but I'm not sure fighting with his friends should count both as making things all about him because other people fall away, and as people who like him take his side. I think you have a general point, though. The world bends around Harry Potter in a lot of ways.
You're actually making me want to read more of the Riordan, which I wouldn't have expected. But I've read the first two and felt sort of blah about them (now I feel like I must have been missing all the cooler stuff), is that the basic sort of thing to expect from further books as well?
