Actually, i found this quite stimulating. I'm not in the same camp
as many of the other folks here so I won't even begin to debate
this but I do see similarities between Les Mis and HP. Though,
the child-is-a-slave bit is nothing new really.

I have one question though, and it is Off-Topic somewhat.
Who in the HP universe is Javert? ;)
