[the_old_crowd] Re: DEs Entering the Ministry (and Sturgis Podmore)

[Randy Estes]

I'm sorry, excuse me for being blasphemous to the
cannon.... But what kind of a name is Sturgis Podmore?

Is there really such a name as Sturgis?

Sounds kind of fishy to me!!!

As for the Harry Potter rescue mission and the lack of
any security at the Ministry of Magic, I think JKR got
a little too lax here.  Even a quick comment made by
someone at the end of the novel would have been
sufficient to explain the lack of any guards on duty. 
Everyone who reads this has to think "where are the
guards?"  How about a few lifeless bodies or tied up
wizards found during the errol flynn battle?

It's not a flynt.  It's just lack of tension or
difficulties in the way of Harry and his friends when
we get to the big finale.  I think she did not know
how to work the guards versus the kids acting like
heroes, so she just left all of the confrontation
scene out.

Someone else pointed out the ending of book one as the
analogies for the seven books.  This one was the troll
laying on it's side.  I think alot of fans we feel
this book is the dead troll of the seven.  I do look
forward to the complicated potions riddle as a model
for the next book's ending.

Red Eye Randy who is feeling a bit uppity today

As he spins his magical eye around to catch his
youngest son provoking another fight with his
siblings!
