Feel free to ask for two or three letters, since there isn't a huge bunch of people who read this journal.

E is for Enforcer. As in Donald Morgan's job.

Talking about Morgan, have you read the overview for book 11?

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

I have not. The books are one of those weird things where I enjoy them thoroughly, read as many as I can get my hands on and will go out and buy on the day they are released, but in the meantime, I don't pay much attention to. I'm weird like that. :-)

Wait. Morgan's first name is Donald? *checks wiki* I'll be damned. Bwah. Donald. (I don't know why that's making me laugh. But it is.)

I'm pretty sure that was book!Harry's exact reaction. I think there's something wonderfully, I don't know, geeky? about Donald. It's like Ralph or George or Aloysius, it just makes you giggle.

It is geeky! ...I think even George would be better than Donald, but that's not saying much, is it?

I hate book!Morgan. He's one of those people I want to reach through the pages and slap silly, just like Snape and Umbridge in the Harry Potter books. I know we do get a little glimpse of insight with him in Dead Beat (something to the tune of 'he's been hunting dark wizards for so long that he's exhausted and jaded and can't wrap his head around Harry being a good guy'), but I still think he's an idiot.

Tv!Morgan is quite a different situation. He's more intelligent, a bit kinder, and has a bit more of a sense of humour. I remember listening to the commentary for Things That Go Bump and the director saying that Harry and Morgan could have been friends, or at least associates, if Harry hadn't killed Justin. I think that's true. They both want the same things and are willing to fight for them. Harry just breaks the rules to do it.
