Yeah, I guess. In some circles having Tolkien and JKR in the same sentence might be anathema, but whatever. The comparison is apt. (I hate JKR's writing, but I lovelovelove her characters. Even Harry, although he gets on my nerves sometimes. :D)

Sometimes I feel sorry for that teacher, to be honest. I mean, she treated us (in top-set French) like we were five, but still - she was trying, and we kinda... made it hard for her. Idk. *has a guilty conscience* ♥
