Eh I dunno. I was likening the sudden turn of mass populace loyalty to the latest HP book. They experience in their magic world, similar sudden change of what and who is acceptable.

Not that would call myself writer at all, let alone worthy of ideas even simlar to JKR, but honestly that's the kind of shift I was shooting for. Now, I just need the means and more believable motive.
