Ye gods, woman, how could you sit through more than one of them?
I can't even say I hate Artemis Fowl. They just seem so unrealistic that even my Mary Sue-ish love of destined to be overpowered characters crawls shrieking into a corner. And as you say, it's not even only that, it's the lack of basic research into ordinary behaviour in our world too. Add to that the total lack of wit and I was done after reading the first one.
I think the difference between Harry and Artemis is that Harry is a character while Artemis is an instrument, either as a mouthpiece or a deus ex machina, and that's why even my 10 year old self wouldn't have fallen for Artemis.
