Well I do occasionally agree with you - and I did last time there was a
thread about Dumbledore.

And there's a nice piece of reasoning that could lead to Dark Lord II -
Harry Potter the Revenge

I partly agree with you. I would like some better villains. Voldemort seems
to be becoming an Evil Mastermind (complete with all the clich mistakes)
and Draco was promising - but is now just an irritating brat. However while
I would like some really satisfyingly evil baddies - I don't want them all
to be Slytherins. I just cannot believe that you can separate off 1/4 of the
11 year olds at Hogwarts and be able to write the whole lot of as evil and
irredeemable.
