pegkerrIf you haven't see it, here's an exceedingly condescending write up of Lumos, from The Observer.
The writer was mostly talking about being squicked by those freaky slashers. However, if you haven't seen my post written in 2003 about Harry Potter and the condescension of the critics, you might want to take a look it it here.

Tolkien and Shakespeare) to consider the possibility that apparently an "evil" or unpleasant character might be redeemed in the progress of a story, but it's female delusion if Harry Potter fans talk about that same concept of at a event at a con dedicated to the topic?
FYI: Darth Vader is a bad guy throughout the first three Star Wars movies, and he kills lots of people and is the main villain, but it turns out that he's the hero's father and Vader admits that he was wrong right before he dies. And we see him as a happy ghost after that, all redeemed and stuff.
