ha! It made me laugh, so props for that.

It’s been many years since I read Candide – is the ending a reference to that? (All I remember is the woman with one buttock)

I liked the summary of the Potter books. Succinct.

Thanks!
Yeah it’s a reference to the ending of Candide. The whole thing is meant to be in the style of it too, with a distant description of the misfortunes that befall the unshakably optimistic protagonist.

I clearly haven’t read enough literature.

But thanks for summing up the Harry Potter books.
