Harry Potter

I spent yesterday reading the new Harry Potter book. That’s right – eight hours, 1 to 9, a solid 652 pages. I must say it is phenomenal. The ending was both slightly predictable and incredibly unpredictable at the same time. I can’t wait for Harry to kick Voldemort’s ass in the next book. It seems like he didn’t do enough ass kicking in this one.

At its core, the book addresses the issue of Good versus Evil. What Evil desires most is immortality and fearlessness. However, those come at a price, which Good understandably objects to. Good desires a world without Evil, because being good is its own reward. While Evil is afraid of the unknown, Good has fear but does not seek to stop fate.

Good seems like sort of a pussy. If you fear something, you should try and do something about it. Harry Potter is just a freakin' hippie.
