I know I have read an essay that made the point that Mrs.Rowling had built up to Ginny-Harry much better than a lot of Philistines like to pretend. Can someone point me to it? Right here and now, I am not really in the mood to go and write one for myself, and I would like to have something to respond if I ever hear that ignorant opinion again.

On the other hand, does anyone doubt that the sudden apparition of Remus-Tonks in HBP is in the nature of a JKR rapsberry at certain fannish obsessions - just as, in my view, her sudden and incomprehensible invention of a black Blaise Zabini?

Lucius Malfoy is the most overrated villain on the planet. He is unintelligent, arrogant and whiny.

Finally, the twits who insist that Dumbledore is a manipulative bastard are the same idiots who are currently pretending that Israel could defend itself from Hezbollah without destroying bridges or killing people. It's called a war, dolts.

I lived in Britain, on and off, since 1976. I moved permanently to London in 1987. And before you ask, today, July 24, is my 44th birthday.

Actually, I hate birthdays - my own, I mean, not those of others. I just thought that Lilium, who is 20, might be startled by such ancient dates. I am at the stage of life when you begin to notice how young all policemen are.

Don't, please. I am Fabio to you. A lot of people with a lot less right claim it anyway. However, my family name is Barbieri, with two i's.
