Snatching a meme from a meme from a meme...

[author_by_night]

This meme has been going around:

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

Like one of my friends, I really only have a few fandoms. So here's an alternative - ask me for at least three unpopular character opinions from the following fandoms:

- Harry Potter

- Firefly

- Buffy (though please try and stick mainly to 1-4 characters - and they may only be opinions I think are random and/or unpopular, just because I don't know the fandom well enough yet to know what the popular opinions are).

- Ugly Betty

- Earth's Children (though please only the main characters, I haven't re-read the books recently enough to remember who this person from that tribe in PoP was or whatnot).

Dumbledore!

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Ah, Dumbledore. Hated him after OoTP, loved him after HBP, went "WTF" after TDH.

1. I think Dumbledore was very wrong in making Sirius stay in the hellhole that was 12 GP. His intentions were good, I don't doubt that, but any other Order member would have taken Sirius. Andromeda and Ted Tonks, for instance, and in my personal canon, Andromeda begged and pleaded DD to let her have Sirius there. It just didn't make sense.

Actually, I'm not sure how unpopular that one is.

2. I still think Dumbledore was a very complicated character. I think his real fault is that he's the epitome of a Gryffindor: he wants to do what is right for the people he believes in so much, he'll do anything, even if it might put them at a seemingly disadvantage. He may have gotten rid of his relationship with Grindlewald, but I think he always kept his "for the greater good" mentality.

3. I believe that whatever Dumbledore's faults, he loved his students, especially Harry.

That all makes sense. How about Draco?
