If the people saying this isn't original enough for them, simply tell them to write their own ORIGINAL fanfic! I don't doubt that it's all been done to death but if they think they can do better, more power to them! For myself, I like the story and am enjoying reading it. I'm also one of those people who likes to read where Harry has a harem and takes his own side in the stupid war. And as been said before, " Don't like, don't read!"
