“Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one thing, he hated the summer holidays more than any other time of year. For another, he really wanted to do his homework but was forced to do it in secret in the dead of night. And he also happened to be a wizard.”—page 1
Yeah he is a really weird bastard.
If I were Harry I would just use a freaking pen instead of going to the trouble of using ink and a quill. If the teachers had a problem I’d say, “Sorry, I could only do my homework at midnight because the abusive ass guardians you keep sending me back to wouldn’t let me do my homework in daylight.”
Why doesn’t Harry just go over to Ron or Hermione’s place to do his homework?
It’s such bullshit that Harry can’t go to Hogsmeade. Really, it’s kind of a waste of time, you know that Harry is just going to sneak off, so you might as well tell him he can. It’ll be easier to keep a better eye on him.
It’s oddly convenient that Ron, his family and Hermione are all staying at the Leaky Cauldron.
Hermione’s cat is a ginger just like Ron.
“‘Don’t be ridiculous, Ron,’ said Mr. Weasley, who on closer inspection looked very strained, ‘Black not going to be caught by a thirteen-year-old wizard. It’s the Azkaban guards who’ll get him back, you mark my words.’”—page 61
Haha.
Yay for Hagrid getting to teach!
Fuck, you, Malfoy, fainting is awful.
Trelawney is my favorite. McGonagall and Hermione are such sticks in the mud. C’mon guys, a boy surviving death by the power of love and a woman turning into a cat is totally normal, but a person tell the future, that’s a bit farfetched.
I love this book because of that scene with the boggart, I love anything to do with fear.
“‘I know that, but we can’t prove it,’ said Wood bitterly. ‘And we’ve been practicing all those moves assuming we’re playing Slytherin, and instead it’s Hufflepuff, and their style’s quite different. They’ve got a new Captain and Seeker, Cedric Diggory—’”—page 168
Cedric!
Shut up, Hermione and have some fun. Harry’s always going to be in trouble, the sooner you accept that, the better.
Harry why didn’t you go back to your room, grab something warm to wear and your invisibility cloak?
“‘Crackers!’ said Dumbledore enthusiastically, offering the end of a large silver noisemaker to Snape, who took it reluctantly and tugged. With a bang like a gunshot, the cracker flew apart to reveal a large, pointed witch’s hat topped with a stuffed vulture.
Haha.
“‘Harry—make sure you win,’ said Percy, in an urgent whisper. ‘I haven’t got ten Galleons. Yes, I’m coming Penny!’”—page 257-258
Dammit Percy.
How does the portraits and paintings get paid?
Yeah, I get that Hermione is stressed but she thought about Ron when getting her cat. I have cat who are so lazy and domesticate that they wouldn’t care about rat in the house. Also it is Hermione’s own fault that she bit off more than she can chew, she should swallow her pride and admit that she can’t handle it all. It’s part of growing up. Though it was made up for it because she did smack Malfoy.
“‘Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people’s business.’
Snape froze. Harry stared, dumbstruck, at the message. But the map didn’t stop there. More writing was appearing beneath the first.
‘Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git.’
It would have been very funny if the situation hadn’t been so serious. And there was more…
‘Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor.’
Harry closed his eyes in horror. When he’d opened them, the map had had its last word.
‘Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball.’”—page 287
My favorite part.
“‘THIRTY-ZERO! TAKE THAT, YOU DIRTY, CHASING—’
‘Jordan, if you can’t commentate in an unbiased way—’
‘I’m telling it like it is, Professor!’”—page 308
I love Lee Jordan, he’s so funny. While it’s really silly that everyone is getting so worked up over a stupid game and cup, my god this chapter is hilarious. Everyone was just crying and it’s so funny.
“‘I’ll understand, of course, if you want to stay with your aunt and uncle,’ said Sirius. ‘But…well…think about it. Once my name’s cleared…if you wanted a…a different home…’
Some sort of explosion took place in the pit of harry’s stomach.
‘What—live with you?’ he said, accidently cracking his head on a bit of rock protruding from the ceiling. ‘Leave the Dursleys?’
‘Of course, I thought you wouldn’t want to,’ said Sirius quickly. ‘I understand, I just thought I’d—’”—page 379
Aw, Sirius.
God Snape’s conversation with Fudge, he can go fuck himself.
Prongs!
“I, Sirius Black, Harry Potter’s godfather, hereby give him permission to visit Hogsmeade on weekends.”—page 433
Crying.
