"He wanted to touch it, to find out what it felt like, but nearly 
four years' experience of the magical world told him that sticking 
his hand into a bowl full of some unknown substance was a very stupid 
thing to do. He therefore pulled his wand out of the inside of his 
robes, cast a nervous look around the office, looked back at the 
contents of the basin, and prodded them" - p.583.


Alla:

LOL, Harry are you sure you will remember this next year?


"Dumbledore did not blink, look around at Harry, or indeed move at 
all. And that, in Harry's opinion settled the matter. Dumbledore 
wouldn't ignore him like that" - p.586

Alla:

LOL, are you sure Harry? You just wait till next year.


"Then Harry heard, quite distinctly, from Dumbledore's other side, a 
familiar, growling voice saying, "Filth" - p.587

Alla:

Here we go that filth word again, but read on. Moody bothers me here 
a great deal, I vaguely remember we discussed him here, but I am 
pretty sure it was rather long time ago and certainly we did not 
rediscuss it as often as some other topics, hehe.

""Crouch is going to let him out," Moody breathed quietly to 
Dumbledore.  "He's done a deal with him.  Took me six months to track 
him down, and Crouch is going to let him go if he's got enough new 
names.  Let's hear his information, I say, and throw him straight 
back to the dementors."
Dumbledore made a small noise of dissent through his long, crooked 
nose.
"Ah, I was forgetting . . . you don't like the dementors, do you, 
Albus?" said Moody with a sardonic smile.
"No," said Dumbledore calmly, "I'm afraid I don't.  I have long felt 
the Ministry is wrong to ally itself with such creatures."
"But for filth like this . . ." Moody said softly." - p.588


Alla:

I am sorry, what? Not that I am surprised to see another lovely 
moment of WW justtice system in action. Here we have a witness who 
made a deal with prosecution in exchange for information, and Moody, 
that hard working fighter of dark wizards suggests to violate the 
deal AFTER witness gives an information and just throw him back as 
dessert to dementors.

I know people have many reasons they may not want to imagine 
themselves permanently escaping in WW. I am actually among those, but 
certainly not because I do not believe that Trio and new generation 
in general will make such changes.

My reason are their schools and their justice system. I will happily 
go and visit the characters I love if they were real, but there is 
absolutely no way I can imagine in my worst nightmares anybody of my 
loved ones getting out of their justice system and of course I would 
rather suffer a lot of things than let a kid to go to their school.

So, yeah, back to Moody. Um, wrong and unethical behavior?



"Yes, they were talking about Neville's parents," said 
Dumbledore. "His father, Frank, was an Auror just like Professor 
Moody. He and his wife were tortured for information about 
Voldemort's whereabouts after he lost his powers, as you heard" - 
p.602.

********
Alla:

Why JKR, why, why do you feel that you should make such a change? I 
could care less if Alice Longbottom was an auror or not, but if in 
your head she was not initially, I wish you would stick to your guts 
and would not add an extra working woman to appease people ( if that 
is what it is)


"No," said Dumbledore, his voice full of bitterness Harry had never 
heard before. "They are insane" - p.603


Alla:

Why bitterness in Dumbledore's voice, anybody has a guess? I mean 
obviously he would be sad about their fates, but it is not saddness, 
it is bitterness. Because he could not save them? Because it reminds 
him of Arianna's fate?

Anything?
