I find the responses to the GoF gap so fascinating. (also, I am firmly in Camp "The Deathly Hallows subplot makes no sense.")
I worked out a lot of my issues with the canon via Alternity (which, y'know, if you want to be busy reading for a good while, there's a lot of stuff there. We got a lot better around Y2, and really hit our stride in Y4. Y1 was the shortest year in word and post count by far, so it goes fast.) Readable via journal entries, but probably easier by PDF - website over here has context, and PDFs for download and other links, and I am here for questions if people have them.)
More to the point, we had a lot of conversations in the process about what parts of canon we thought made absolutely no sense, which we liked, but needed modification, and which we wanted to run hard with. (We were universally on "The Deathly Hallows are a silly plot" and ignoring it, for the record. Complete with Monty Python noises in my head.)
On other recs: Lust Over Pendle and the sequels remain about an annual reread for me because I am apparently right here for manners novels with shennanigans and completely ridiculous magical theory.
