Hi johnlocke06 - I'm not trying to pick a fight with you at all, we are all entitled to our opinions. But, as they actually are Jo's characters, I have to trust her response about Kloves instinct about them. Perhaps you own instincts were the ones that were not in line with hers? That's o.k. though - that's why reading a book is so great - we get to form our own opinions and feelings about the characters. Some of his tactics did anoy me too - particularly with Hermione actually (she seems to have taken over the heroic actions from Harry and Ron far too much), but over-all, I think he did o.k.
