Sorry, I meant to post it as a link but...
Okay? But what is it? In this age it's nice to know what we're clicking on before doing so.
It's where JK elaborates on what happens after Voldemort died...
It was neat to read so I thought I'd pass it on.
That was cool to know.
But, I personally don’t like the Dumbledore character.
Although his decisions led to a better world, I still can’t forgive the way he manipulated Harry, the way he left anyone in the dark and kept secrets to himself.
Aww that's awesome. And yeah, Dumbledore was manipulative, but Snape was selfish. I think they all had some good in them. Or both. Voldy was just a bad bad boy.
I barely started the first Hary Poter book so... I think the dumblidor character was quite manipulative.
At risk of anyone getting huge spoilers, I'll endeavour to be careful. That said, please be careful, yourself, if you don't want spoiling, since you might get more than I intend from what follows.
Dumbledore was manipulative, yes, but I can mostly forgive him for this. He didn't just arbitrarily decide to do it. He was proud, remember, and not only that, he has great respect for free will. If he'd spelled everything out in one big blast, he would have risked overwhelming Harry, confusing him, even making him disbelieve. I'm not saying he was perfect about this--he certainly wasn't--but I think most of the time his secrecy and care were justified.
Regarding Snape, I simultaneously like and dislike his character. I like his reason for doing what he did, immature as it seems for a grown man in my opinion, but I dislike how downright mean he was, when he frankly didn't have to be. People will say he was maintaining a front, but I'm not sure I buy it.
Um, I can't see the post. It says it's invite only. Is that true? It seems like all of you were able to access it with no problem.

I liked the revelations regarding Snape. I think the author did a great job with him. At the same time, I believe his feelings of anamocity towards Harry were in many ways quite real, given his feelings for Harry's mother, and his father. Sins of the fathers (and mothers) and all that.
weird, I can't read it. I get a page that says this blog is open to invited readers only.
