So you think the world is made up of good people and only good people?
This world of ours where murder and torture and terrorism are a sad
reality - this world is made up of good people?
I think JK is spot on - the world is made up of the good and the evil
and in her words (roughly paraphrasing) all we can do is fight the
evil again and again and yet again, until perhpas, one day, it becomes
too weak to take over.
That's the message of the books IMO, and a wonderful message for our
times.
