Los goblins son malos o buenos o malos, no está muy claro.
La percepción de Dumbledore, de Snape, del padre de Harry Potter, de la madre, incluso, cambia a lo largo de la serie, y es posiblemente lo mejor.
En resumen, que aunque la serie de Harry Potter tiene sus cosas buenas, que hacen que uno, más o menos, se lo pase bien leyendo, JK Rowling no es JRR Tolkien (bueno, si acaso, es más entretenida), yo creo que, por lo pronto, no va a pasar a la historia de la literatura.

 Harry Potter 3 - Halflife2.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
i just dont like the idea, its taking everything that fantasy stories have built upon, evolving witches and goblins and wizards into sinister incarnations of what they once were- like LOTR and many RPGs, but de-volves them back to the childish tales with witches with pointy hats and little green goblins.
So call it "harry potter and the prizoner of azkaban" or whatever.
it's ok. sure, it's Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban but it IS the third installment of the Harry Potter series whether you call it that or not.
