Wonderful! That makes sense and contributes to my feeling that there is truly a greater good/evil fighting for control of the world in the Harry books.
Going back to our previous discussion concerning the lack of depth compared to Tolkein and others... The Hobbit introduced readers to Middle Earth in a far lighter manner than addressed later in The Lord of the Rings series. My feeling about the Harry Potter books is that the early books in the series are more like The Hobbit--entertaining and drawing the reader into Rowling's world. Her later works, hinted at by the serious turn at the end of book 4, will delve more deeply into good and evil, just as Tolkein's books became far more complex in The Lord of the Rings.
