>Dumbledore is perfectly willing to risk the  lives of children (and 
other innocents) to further his own goals. He'll  (apparently, per 
text) allow a child to enter an arena beyond his skill  level that 
could lead to that child's death. As a test of character. I'm  
fairly sure Amnesty International would not approve. Neither do I 
think  it'd approve of Dumbledore feeding a suspect truth serum 
without benefit of  counsel 
Nikkalmati: 
I assume in regard to "entering an arena" you mean the Triwizard Tournament?I 
 thought it was clear that DD had no choice but to allow Harry to participate 
per  magical contract.  I certainly don't think it was a test of character. 
DD  saw it as an assassination attempt, which it more or less was.  I think he  
would have stopped it if he could have.   
Interestingly, there apparently are no lawyers in the WW. One can take  that 
as good or bad :>) JKR does not protray bureaucrats favorably; she  does not 
like journalists either.  I wonder what she would say or how she  would portray 
lawyers!  I suspect Percy is the type she would choose, if  not something 
worse.
