Right, and I'm doing it. :) I mean, I think Hermione is an incredibly dangerous person who should never, never, never be put in a position of power over people. I think Harry is a bully. And I think the series as a whole promotes a sort of unthinking hatred of anyone "not like us". But... is this how JKR wanted me to leave the series? Is this the interpretation she was hoping for?
Because while I'm doing my job of poking at the questionable moral moments, the Trio is not. Which means, they don't learn from their mistakes. Heck, they don't even identify their mistakes, and no one around them points them out as such. So while I grow as a person, they do not. Which, in a weird way, does link the Potter series with Barney. I don't think his character changes much either. ;)
