An Unfavorable Harry Potter Review

I really hadn't intended to write anything about Harry Potter, but I thought this mini-review at the blog Hip Hop Music was worth mentioning:

I'm 20 Pages Into Harry Potter, and I'm Pissed.

When the last Potter book came out I was pleased to find JK Rowling finally adding a Black wizard into the mix, with the introduction of Kingsley Shacklebolt. It was a shining moment for our people.. Halle Berry wept.

While reading along I always imagined Shacklebolt as portrayed by Sam Jackson, hoping he'd evolve into a badass hero a la Mace Windu.

But as I start the latest book what do I find? Shacklebolt has been reassigned as a secretary.

A SECRETARY.

What the hell kind of Spook Who Sat by the Door sh!t is this???
