Silvana:
I like to compare the characters JKR develops with Tolkien's LOTR. JKR
herself once stated writing her books she was inspired by Tolkien's work.

I made up some ideas of who might be who, but I had doubts about who is
Aragorn.

snip.

I'm not sure about:
Lupin = Faramir
Fudge = Theoden

What do you think???

Sorry if it is too weird. 





SR:

I liked your comparisons.  The one that struck a chord with me is Fudge.  I'm going to compare his role in the plot to that of Lord Denethor.  A figurehead, blinded by his own power and desire to retain it.

I guess that would leave me comparing Arthur Weasley to Theoden - leaders of large, 'country folk' families ;)

We know that Fudge is going to fall, but I'd like to see Arthur Weasley stick it out until the end.
