"Pompous" and "gasbag" quite nicely capture aspects of Master
Bloom. Still, I can't help but like the melon-headed old elitist,
even some of his snobbish criticism. It's worth noting, I think,
that The Wind in the Willows and the Winnie-the-Pooh series
are among his favorite books, so he's not necessarily knee-jerk
anti-children's literature, and that he supports an adult son who
he has described in interviews as "not quite right," of something
to that effect.
