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?

I can't find it right now, because I think it's in a comment somewhere, but gehayi has a fragment about "Wendell and Monica Wilkins" in Australia realizing they can't actually remember what any of their supposed siblings look like and having horrible nightmares and a terrible feeling that they're forgetting important things. Which seems like a plausible outcome of Hermione doing such a drastic modification for the first time.

It really does. *Shudders at the thought* Poor Mr. and Mrs. Granger...talk about a case of We Hardly Knew Ye to boot, especially since they don't get much screentime. (Or pagetime, rather. ;-)

Another case of characters that could have been really interesting but were ignored in favor of *The Harry*.
