Actually, no, I'm almost always deadly serious in everything I say.
In this case, shoot me but I don't like heavy, simplistic, moral
allegories. Those belong in Sunday School literature, not in popular
fiction. I would not like it at all if JKR descends into heavy
moralizing/Christian allegory of the type: "Harry nobly rises above
all the pain and abuse in his life as, filled with self-sacrificial
love, he gives forgiveness to all that have wronged him, renounces all
his hopes and dreams, and offers himself up to save a world that has
scorned him." However, I feel with a sense of ever-increasing dread
and nausea that some of that might be coming up.
