Just like anything, nothing is black & white, like w/ Harry Potter. All these characters have a back story... which are very important to the series. I haven't been able to read this series b/c I believe it was written in the form of a play or a script. I just saw this movie & I got a better understanding of alot of things. U can't shut sut down storytelling.... that is just the beginning. It's the beauty of several characters that shape something that will build up to sto more.
