If ...The gender equity issue doesn't shock me. If you take in the author's life when looking at a story, then it make sensse. If you want to view the story apart, you still have Hermione as the only female character of any significance, which I would argue pushes the bias the other direction. She'always right, because she was friends with two adolescent boys.Justin Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574809008044516547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499360174740018122.post-47202887149914150432011-07-08T00:19:53.409-05:002011-07-08T00:19:53.409-05:00I have always thought the books could have been ~4...I have always thought the books could have been ~45 pages had Harry just said...hey you know what...this weird thing happended the other day...but there was so much fear about being kicked out.

It took me a long time to accept that I am such a shallow reader, but once I did, it eased my pressure to think of things like you just did. That being said, I enjoy other people's musings, and you certainly have some good thoughts. Keep in mind, though, that with the exception of Ginny and her mom, the entire Weasly family is male and they play a significant role in the last 2 books. And if Dobby's father had been in the picture, he, too, would have been a positive character.<br />~KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
