death to capslock

I’m not a member of this community (lol!); I found it by accident and found it amusing and then found it was supposed to be carrying out serious(ish) discussion. But is anything actually discussed here? Isn’t it rather that a shared viewpoint is repeatedly affirmed? The shared viewpoint seems to be that through a combination of bias, carelessness and stupidity the author of HP has introduced inconsistencies into her story and some of these seriously undermine the meanings she intends the story to have, to the extent that it pretty much means the opposite of what she intends. Having decided this, the community takes turns to post instances that reveal this failure by the author and then everyone agrees that they are, in fact, instances that reveal the author’s failure! This is fine if it’s just for fun. *Harry is at large on the streets of Magnolia Crescent and there is anger burning in his heart. But don't worry the love is there too. Its mixing with the anger to create something really good and is sure to save the world. I loved that! (Though I’m not sure where the idea that Harry – or his love - is going to save the world came from! ;D) Don’t you think, though, that if you claim you're doing more than having a laugh the problem with this affirmatory approach is that you only find what you’ve already decided is there? This would be a pretty futile activity, and also sad if it meant you missed things in the books that could make reading them more rewarding and add to the sum of your pleasure! (On the other hand, it’s probably a good way of keeping disputatious oafs like me at a distance.) (woman ironing)
