July 17, 2005I'm 20 Pages Into Harry Potter, and I'm Pissed.When the last Potter book came out I was pleased to find JK Rowling finally adding a Black wizard into the mix, with the introduction of Kingsley Shacklebolt. It was a shining moment for our people.. Halle Berry wept. While reading along I always imagined Shacklebolt as portrayed by Sam Jackson, hoping he'd evolve into a badass hero a la Mace Windu. But as I start the latest book what do I find? Shacklebolt has been reassigned as a secretary. A SECRETARY. What the hell kind of Spook Who Sat by the Door sh!t is this???

(Oh, man, now I'm the dork patrol.) We've technically got Dean Thomas and Lee Jordan in all of the books. Oh, and Angelina, who has the dubious honor of having her race made more prominant in book 5 when a Slytherin says that her hair looks "like worms." Yeah, not a great track record. (I got HP-dorkery all over your comments. I am SO sorry.) Posted by: CJ at July 18, 2005 12:59 AM I noticed that, too, and wondered in reading it if it were part of a larger pattern of rowling paring off the adult characters who might help hp in order to set up the three kids to 'go it alone.' (we've got tonks and lupin reassigned/'ill' and out of the action in this book as well). oh, and don't forget the new eeeeeevil kid from slytherin who makes a brief appearance here. ;> Posted by: dcfroglet at July 18, 2005 7:12 AM I think Shacklebolt is there just to keep tabs on the prime minister, and as a guard. Don't forget that the prime minister doesn't realize what Shacklebolt is: the most bad-ass wizard on the planet. By the way, I could TOTALLY see Sam Jackson as Shacklebolt, but I'd also love to see Ving Rhames in the role. Posted by: DJ Chomps at July 18, 2005 10:49 AM PartyRock, you're a douchebag. [Note from webmaster: This refers to a previous comment that I have deleted. Ben's assessment of the commenter was accurate, for the record.] Posted by: Ben at July 18, 2005 11:16 AM As someone who has never read a page of any Harry Potter book, but can appreciate it's appeal, I have to agree with Ben here. PartyRock, you are a douchebag. Also, am I alone in finding sick humor in the one black wizard being named Shackle? Or is that my Harry Potter ignorance talking there? Posted by: Jason Solis at July 18, 2005 2:00 PM I'm with Jason Solis. What's with "Shacklebolt"? Sounds like he's a Wizard from the Middle Passage... now I'm glad I never got into "Potter"... Posted by: ReidBlog at July 18, 2005 3:19 PM Damn you're right, talk about a slave name! Posted by: Jay Smooth at July 18, 2005 5:24 PM I'm waiting for the next book, with Kingsley X. Posted by: Anil at July 18, 2005 7:38 PM lol got me in sticthes this post. never read harry potter stuff the black wizard is new to me. shouldn't that read black witch-doctor/shaman? I'm tripping I'm feeling the link to the spook stuff. gotta dig and find out more. 1 Posted by: obifromsouthlondon at July 19, 2005 8:46 PM I read the book this weekend, and immediately assumed that Shacklebolt was assigned to be the (non-wizard) PM's secretary because of the proximity to the PM. It seemed obvious that he was there as a bodyguard, and since he's flying solo there, it's because he's a badass. Covert assignments aren't about the cover job, they're about the real job.
