Utterly unscientific

[mayhap]

[Poll #534083]


What the ruddy hell does Rowling have against rabbits and people who own them????

Exhibit A: Lavender Brown, whom I have had a secret soft spot for since her rabbit bit it in Prisoner of Azkaban, becomes a freakish, baby-talking harpie!

Exhibit B: Billy Stubbs's rabbit ends up hung from the rafters by proto-dark-lord Tom Riddle!

Exhibit C: Remus's "furry little problem" is widely mistaken for a badly behaved rabbit!

Okay, that last one is kind of cute, but still. Why is it always rabbits? Inquiring minds want to know!

JKR did mention on her website that she has a special affinity for weasels, who, according to her, "not so much malignant as maligned." Seeing as weasels are the natural predators of bunnies, that may be the source of her anti-rabbit prejudices. :-P

Bunnies aren;t just cute, like everyone suposses. They've got those beayd eyes and those twitchy little noses. And what do they need such good eyesight for, anyway?

:P

Ready to change my answer from the clod: I'm leaning more toward "I liked it" but feeling the strange appeal of "I liked it and disliked it equally, improbable as that may sound".

I always like the endings of her books, but often wish for just a bit more energy around the 1/3rd mark.

(p.s. like the new style)
