Later in the article it mentions Reggie of Nintendo to be the next best public speaker due to his vast amounts of charisma. He wouldn't be too bad of a choice to advocate the voices of gamers because that seems to be what Nintendo is about. It may piss of a few Microsoft and Playstation fanboys though:P
Actually it's from Spaceballs and the quote is: "... now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb!"
And pertaining to your arguement, I totally agree that he (Harry Potter) gets through things out of sheer dumb luck, but the fact that he is average gives him a greater appeal to the average kids who can relate to him rather than the typical child prodigy hero who can zap enemies with a cunning flick of his wrist and get out of trouble in the wink of an eye. That wouldn't even work with the storyline presented because most of what happens is DUE TO his inability to get out of certain situations such as sneaking around the school and whatnot. He is also not entirely average because he has proved himself in situations of greater importance like saving a friend or something. A very admirable feat you'd want in a protagonist if you ask me.
Of course you may want a more interesting protagonist like Raislin from the Dragonlance novels. If so, go read them and let these kids read what they like.
Shamans have two different elementals to choose from while mage has to go DEEP into frost to get theirs. Sucks for fire mages, but Invis is a nice addition:). Warriors get a move to block the next attack of another party member... Genious! And yes, pallies spells are kinda lacking:/.
Overall, it's pretty mediocer, but I'm sure Blizz will get the unbalancedness out before the final product (hopefully).
