Review:
Poor Frank Bryce.
Really, Harry Sirius should have been your first person you contact.
I love the Weasleys and their attempts to interact with the Muggle world.
“‘Well…’bye then,’ Harry said to the Dursleys.
They didn’t say anything at all. Harry moved toward the fire, but just as he reached the edge of the hearth, Mr. Weasley put out a hand and held him back. He was looking at the Dursleys in amazement.
‘Harry said good-bye to you,’ he said. ‘Didn’t you hear him?’
‘It doesn’t matter,’ Harry muttered to Mr. Weasley. ‘Honestly, I don’t care.’
Mr. Weasley did not remove his hand from Harry’s shoulder.
‘You aren’t going to see your nephew till next summer,’ he said to Uncle Vernon in mild indignation. ‘Surely you’re going to say good-bye?’”—page 48
First of all, I love Arthur. Second of all, no Arthur, they aren’t because they’re abusive as fuck and you should just adopt Harry.
Thank you for introducing Cedric’s father just to kill Cedric.
“‘I am not joking, Mr. Weasley,’ he said, ‘though now that you mention it, I did hear an excellent one over the summer about a troll, a hag, and a leprechaun who all go into a bar…’
Professor McGonagall cleared her throat loudly.”—page 186
I love this man.
God I always feel so bad for Neville whenever I read that scene with the Cruciatus Curse.
Ron and I think the same way when it comes to homework. When it gets too hard, bullshit your way through it, especially if you don’t like it.
Okay, Hermione, I’m in total support of getting help for the House Elves but seriously stop being annoying. It also took her way too long for her to actually go talk to the House Elves to see what they actually wanted.
“‘Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?’ he asked calmly.”—page 276
Yeah, yeah.
This binding magical contract is such bullshit. There should be a loophole.
Do you think that one of the champions could have been like “accio golden egg” and that would work? Maybe it’s charmed to not be able to use that spell or maybe the champions are just idiots for not trying that spell.
“‘Congratulations, Harry!’ she said, beaming at him. ‘I wonder if you could give me a quick word? How you felt facing that dragon? How you feel now, about the fairness of the scoring?’
‘Yeah, you can have a word,’ said Harry savagely. ‘Good-bye.’”—page 362
Motherfucker! Hell, yeah.
So are the other students just not having lessons? Do they spend all day in their ship/wagon and never have to go to lessons? Do their headmaster/mistress teach them?
The Yule Ball is cool but I could do without Fleur’s bitching and Percy’s smugness.
Ron, you’re being childish and you asked Fleur!
Fucking Rita for making Hagrid feel bad about half giant.
I forgot that Myrtle would watch the prefects take baths, what a creeper.
The Weasleys coming Harry, it makes me so happy.
“From far away, above his head, he heard a high, cold voice say, ‘Kill the spare.’
A swishing noise and a second voice, which screeched the words to the night: ‘Avada Kedvra!’
A blast of green light blazed through Harry’s eyelids, and he heard something heavy fall to the ground beside him, the pain in his scar reached such a pitch that he retched, and then it diminished; terrified of what he was about to see, he opened his stinging eyes.
Cedric was lying spread-eagle on the ground beside him. He was dead.”—page 638
Sobbing.
Harry seeing Voldemort’s victims is always so sad.
Villains in these books should really learn not to monologue and just kill Harry.
Ugh, Fudge not believing Harry is just so frustrating.
Mrs. Weasley hugging Harry, I love the Weasleys so much.
I’m glad that Harry gave his money to Fred and George! The endings are always so sweet.
