"Tut, tut--fame clearly isn't everything."
Sorry about the lack of entries, especially the long delayed Potter ranting.
Anyway, I may as well post the part I have...
( The Houses. )

As a member of Ravenclaw myself, I certainly wouldn't mind a less peripheral role in the stories.
And that leaves Slytherin… For a house that's supposed to be filled with the cunning and ambitious it's sad when I have to ask "where the hell is the damn cunning and ambition"! Seriously, point out a passage where a Slytherin displays actual cunning. And what goals do they have other than making Potter miserable and winning the House or Quidditch Cup? My god, other than being "big meanies" to Potter and his friends why does House Slytherin exist?Tee-hee. Now, now, Onychomys. You know that any good Cinderella story with a hero(ine) who rises in station despite all the odds has to include the standard meanie elitist snobs who desperately want him to fail. In such stories, "cunning" can be translanted as "mean-spirited," and "ambitious" as "selfish." If the villains are actually intelligent, they could easily best the hero, after all. Because he's not supposed to be a genius himself, but an ordinary Joe ( ... )

Anyway, nothing is really a Cinderella story for me unless it has "evil" stepsisters hacking at their heels trying to make sure that stupid slipper will fit, damn it!
Will future ranting include anything about the rather interesting plot devices by which Harry is miraculously saved every time he's in danger?
A few will get specific mention... Yes.
