Am I the only one a little bothered by Dumbledore? Not only with the fact he could end up in the Guinness Book Of World Records for "Most Incompetent Headmaster of All Time" (though I'm sure there's worse. :P), but also because...he just bugs me. I know JKR was trying to write him as the "flawed Yoda", so to speak (and to be fair, he's nowhere near Yoda. XD), but it's also how...preachy he gets. Towards Fudge, for example. You know, in Goblet of Fire, with, "You place too much importance on purity of blood, yadda yadda et cetera et cetera" -- which considering how he treated Tom Riddle and the Slytherins is...slightly hypocritical isn't it? Probably bad writing on JKR's part, though. :/

Anyways, sorry 'bout the rambling. Thoughts?

Well, I think the really bad part was him throwing an age-long hissy fit afterward. But yeah...I get what you mean. :)

You understate - there were three ages of stars before the Sun was created (and that's not counting however long they spent with the Lamps and the Trees, not to mention the time they took building the place) ::removes pedant hat::

Wasn't Lorien or Nienna supposed to have some sort of therapy-related power? They really failed there, I think.

They should have hired Wang Fire. :P /ATLA joke.

No problem is beyond his ability to solve!
