It's really weird. JKR supposedly wrote a 'serious' book about *gasp* Evul!Nazis, but a lot of things in this horrendous book looks nicked from that famous British comedy sitcom 'Allo 'Allo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'Allo_'Allo!
In 'Allo 'Allo you have, for instance, Monsieur LeClerc, who often walks around in ridiculous 'disguises' (for instance, he disguises himself as 'an innocent onionseller' with a cap and strings of onions around his neck, and will then, very conspicious, yell at the top of his voice "who will buy the onions of an innocent onionseller!") and then sidle up to the lead character, lift his glasses and say, "It is I, LeClerc!".
Then, as a running gag, there are the two very brave-but-foolish British airmen, who are hidden from the Nazis in the most outrageous places. And that's *all* they ever do during the nine seasons and more than eighty episodes: they hide. And are 'brave'. Sounds familiar?
I don't get it, Jo! Are you trying to write a 'serious' story where Good Wizards fight Evul Nazis and where People Die, or are you trying your hand at parody? Either way, YOU SUCK!!
