But there aren't any "good guys" who are "on" the dark side.
You have some "appearances" of evil. And you have characters that struggle against the evil.
What I'm saying is that I think I'm seeing 3 sides instead of two. I see the good guys cooperating with a force that is presented darkly.
Until I resolve it, I'm not actively working against it, I'm not recommending it either....jmho fwiw.
One thing I like about Harry Potter is that sometimes things aren't what they seem like. How often does that happen in reality? Actually, quite often.
