I Harry were able to simply overpower all the demons in his life, where would the value of his story lie? He's the underdog, the figure who must overcome the odds, and defeat those who are more powerful. Not by matching them blow for blow (and therefore evil for evil); but by being true to the memory of his parents, his friends and himself.

Just my opinion of course, but I find great worth in these stories, and have greatly enjoyed reading the books and watching the films.

Transformers? I watched the first one - Looked like an hour and a half Leatherman Tool demonstration to me.

+1!
