The "bad boys of literature" - we recognize them in a heartbeat when they appear on the pages. They are those dark, enigmatic characters with huge attitude and murky motivations who nonetheless propel the action of the story forward. Great literature has given us bad boys whose appeal still draws over time, and our discussions about them remain quite heated. Love them or hate them, these literary badboys fascinate some - and repel others. JKR has generously given us a number of these characters in the HP series. What makes them tick? What is their draw for so many readers? Do they ever, just possibly, outshine the hero? Can there be great writing without them?
