It seems to me it's only a cop-out if you think there's an answer
to the problem of evil that's not a cop-out. I mean, what kind of
answer is throwing a magic ring into a fiery mountain?
What made it not cheesy was that it was so difficult. I am sure
whatever Harry is asked to do in the name of that power will not
be easy for him.

What made it not cheesy was that it was impossible and eventually
took an evil character and either Providence or Coincidence to be
accomplished. I wonder if we'll get any parallel to this in the HP
books.

vmonte now: 
I'm guessing your talking about The Lord of the Rings? I don't really 
remember the books because I read them when I was 12-years-old, but I 
did see the movies last year. What I loved was how Frodo gave Gollum 
a second chance, even though Sam kept warning him about Gollum's 
loyalty. And even though Sam did turn out to be right about Gollum, 
if it wasn't for Frodo, Gollum wouldn't have been around to leap for 
the ring and save them all in the end. So, even though Gollum could 
not escape his past or the hold the ring had over him, he still saved 
Frodo. It really sounds awfully familiar to me...
