PS. Is Lupinlore really representing a serious POV? I look in on the more
or less continuous row that has been going on since before Xmas with
almost complete disbelief now.

Don't get me started. I can't believe I willingly walked into 
that deathtrap debate AGAIN! There's no way to shut it off either, 
as you said, because there are always people willing to take a new 
crack at the debate. So it goes on and on and on.....It will never 
end because JKR will never, ever, sastisfy people who feel the way 
LL does. Maybe said people will do us all a favor and chuck the 
books in the dustbin NOW instead of waiting until JKR 'fails' in 
their eyes.

Oddly enough I'm coming across much the same controversy over the FGB thread
I'm currently coding (Fred and George are Bas^H^H Bullies). After 70-odd posts
I'm beginning to reject a few as they become increasingly personal and
meta-discussion. We are now at the point of the 'right to disagree with JKR'
that LL has reached with DD. This IMHO is a primary danger of
over-enthusiastic fandom, up there with fanfic which at least has the honesty
to go ahead and rewrite the Potterverse for themselves.
