Re: Re:Whoooooaaaaaaaaa

Firstly, I didn't see any obvious similarities b/w LoTr and HP except the genre of course.
Secondly, when authors make characters overtly moral, we tend to call them boring. The word 'prig' comes to mind. LoTr has lies and deception of a subtler kind. And they're 'understandable', so to say. Because it's all for the Ring. In HP, the moral kinks are, perhaps, inexcusable because the magnitude of the evil seems less, though personally I think Voldemort is as dangerous as Sauron.

It's been said a zillion times but What the hell, I&quot;ll say it again. Sam seems to forget that while the characters in LoTR are mature, the HP characters are teenagers.
Anyway, I like HP a lot, though I feel the craze is unwarranted.

What if - what if this is as good as it gets?</p>
