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?

Wow. I did not remember that. Evidently JKR forgot as well. No surprise there, canon established in one book is tossed out the window when she does the next. Wtf kind of terrible author is she, and only a select group of people recognize it, argh, it drives me nuts.

When we are talking about "brave" James&Lilly vs Voldy fight we see and the things writen om GoF, isn't the way "shades" of people Voldy killed getting out of his wand inconsistent with the way they died?

DD tells Harry that they come in the order they died (the most resent murder toward older ones) but Shade!James appear before Shade!Lilly!
As she was murdered after him shouldn't she been the next after Cedric to say "Hi, Harry! Your deus ex machina is here to save you!" :(

Good point. *Shakes head* Crazy, crazy canon... :P

I think it was reversed in a later edition once someone pointed that out. Which only confuses things more, because if you can't even trust the book you're reading to stay the same...
