    She had a spreadsheet outlining the plot and character beats for the last books by the time the first film was made.

    She’s just not a great writer.

      I’d have to see the spreadsheet before I’d give her any credit for having one. The story gets w9rse and worse as it goes, I can’t imagine she planned that. The ending is absurd and I haven’t heard anyone defend it successfully.
