DOES JK ROWLING HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST GOOD-LOOKING GUYS?
I would not dare measure the significance of this question,
though I know it seems
trivial. But who knows, with JK Rowling, "it seems" is not really
advisable, or to rephrase, it's not safe to assume because you just
don't have a clue of what is significant and what is not.
And I think this is an interesting question: What do
Gilderoy Lockhart, Cedric Diggory, and Sirius Black have in common
(aside from being all male, duh!!!)?
On the bright side, they do possess pretty faces (although Sirius
Black's face was described as "gaunt" due to the years of detention
in Azkaban, nevertheless, he still has vestiges of good looks and
was described really handsome during his teenage years, as was seen
in the pensieve) that made them horded by girls.
But on the other side, their awful fates resemble. Which made me
wonder whether JK Rowling have anything against good-looking guys.
We all know what happened to these poor guys. However, I
still want to enumerate and elaborate:
CEDRIC DIGGORY- killed without much ado as if he's not that
important (and probably he's not really that important after all);
his death merely gave us an idea of how cold-blooded, pitiless
homicidal maniac Voldemort is.
SIRIUS BLACK- spent many years of his life in Azkaban for
the crime he never committed, escaped only to hide with a moronic
house-elf in the home he detested (although he transformed it into a
lair for the Order of the Phoenix, which by the way, made him feel
worse because he started to think he's useless) and went out to save
Harry at his life's cost
GILDEROY LOCKHART- ended up in St. Mungo's Hospital for his
malfunctioning brain, thanks to Ron, of course! Yes, he's the only
one in Harry Potter series with good looks, who lasted and survived
alive so far. But worse than dead, he has a spoiled memory
Now let me ask again: Does JK Rowling have anything against good-
looking guys? Or was it purely coincidental? Let's just see and we
better watch out for the next guy who will be described
as "handsome" for something terrible might come his way.
