Dark Creature Favortism?

[author_by_night]

I apologize to those on my flist who are not into Harry Potter, but this is a poll I want to make available to those not necessarily on my friends list.

I have noticed that Vampires do not seem to be shunned in potterverse, like Werewolves. They have special candy for them, and apparently can be famous singers and invited to Christmas Parties in school (wherein they are followed by girl students.)

So - my poll:

[Poll #857657]

That's what I think as well. As such they're not contagious, therefore do not have to be as feared like werewolves. Also, a transformed werewolf is a savage beast. The vampires in Potter-verse seem to be perfectly reasonable beings.

Good point, although the Werewolf in HBP apparently did often look "thirsty." But that could just have been comic relief. ;)
