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?

"It boggles the mind how far will hardcore Rowling's fan go to make excuses for the plot holes, lack of planing and blatant characters flaws.
Btw. I'll never understand the need some people have to turn their favorite characters into saints and the ones they dislike into monsters.
As far as I know it is not against the law to like a characters warts and all. Heck, some of my all time favorites are very troubled individuals but I can acknowledge that they are far from ideal."

*This*, so very much! D:
