JKR falls off pedastal..

Mean and horrid of me I know, but having a nasty, warped sense of 
humour, I did enjoy this post of Lexicon Steve's:

27430:
This is very true. The system is so biased that it's hard to believe 
that someone like Dumbledore would allow it. He represents fairness 
and impartiality, after all, with everyone of any race etc. getting a 
chance. But maybe that's why he doesn't hesitate to step in at the 
last minute and award points in a fashion which is clearly planned to 
undermine the Slytherin win as dramatically as possible. Not only 
that, think about the Triwizard Tournament. I could go on and on 
about the major plot holes and inconsistencies of this entire mess, 
but one particularly galling problem is that not one of the champions 
competes fairly. They all cheat and get outside help and advance 
knowledge and this is expected! "Cheating has always been a 
traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament," we are told. I think 
we have to adjust our understanding of the way the Wizarding World 
works, not only in terms of technology and physics but also in terms 
of morality and ethics.
