Reply to comment by madchad90 in Hannibal Lecter in The Red Dragon by Majiska394

The fact that Hannibal Rising came after the fact makes this lack of consistency more unforgivable, not less.

The fact that Red Dragon (and the other books) existed, and presented a fleshed out profile of Hannibal should have been taken into account when writing Hannibal Rising.

Harris was pretty much forced into writing the book against his will, so he probably didn't care too much about making sure it lined up perfectly with the previous ones
