fpbI 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.

Date: 2006-07-24 01:40 pm (UTC)It's hard to be independent, clever, and bold when your boss is a sociopathic king of evil with a penchant toward brutal punishment. But, silly Lucius for choosing such a boss--gets to the point about Lucius not being intelligent. (Lucius no doubt thought it was a good choice because Voldemort appealed to Lucius's sense of class privilege and offered him the thrill of being able to lord it over lesser wizards). But since Voldemort is SOOO evil and SOOO removed even from his closest supporters (no-true-friends thing), anyone following him ends up--or is from the start--a mere henchman.
