I will always try to defend the underdog. The amount of Deathly Hallows bashing has been overwhelming at times. So much so, I simply stopped coming to HP for a couple weeks. Thankfully (or unfortunately) depending on which view you hold - I came back and thought - I can't be the only one who thinks the way I do. I am going to share my views.

I enjoy bantering. Particularly edgy bantering. I do feel responsible in some ways for the 'lack of edgy banter in HP' as far as discussing the faults of DH and saying JKR was lazy and took the easy way out with her seventh book.

I just think it is worthwhile challenging our own views and perceptions.
There was a LOT of 'it's all crap because it's crap' reasoning.

Having said that though - it's good to see you around wallflower. (long time between drinks - as we aussies say). I don't think your post is directed at me specifically, but felt the need to respond so I have.

anyhoo - on a lighter note.
