McGonagall then reveals that Grandmother’s dislike of Charms is, of course, merely covering up her own inadequacy.
Funnily enough, her and Hermione's dislike of Divination is nothing to do with them not being good at it (heaven forbid!)
Parvati gets a cameo to remind us she’s a boy-crazy airhead who’s dropped her favorite female teacher in favor of a sexy professor.
Well, that's female solidarity for you. (Did Rowling's husband like, have an affair with her BFF, or what? Seriously, I think for women who have a relationship not centred around men/secondary to men, we have...arguably Lavender and Parvati, and the Delacour sisters?)
Why hasn’t anyone written fic where Parvati has an affair with Firenze?
As Hermione, the expert on prejudice, so brilliantly explained, he's just a 'horse'. Besides centaurs may not Mate for Life. (I've seen Draco/Firenze and Ron/Firenze, though. It was actually wicked, someone should totally do centaur!het.)
So Harry walks around wearing a captain’s badge 24/7? And I’m not supposed to laugh?
I'm sure he's totally modest about it, unlike Ron and Draco with their various iconography. (I'm surprised the ultra macho house encourages badge-wear, even if it is to show how great you are at sport. It's one step from there to jewellery/caring about your appearance in anyway, then you become a homo/Slytherin.)
Apparently you’re supposed to try out for Quidditch every year because teams are ruined by people playing the same players or their friends.
Katie seems to have an unbiased, clear-headed view of how to run a Quidditch team. No leadership skills here, then. (She'd probably listen to people with comments about the gameplans, rather than saying 'I'm Captain, me, me, me!' Prft, girls.) Are we even sure she's in the right house?
Of course we already know that because of the way Harry’s had fresh tryouts every year. Or not.
Yeah, but there could be no one out there more talented than Harry.
in danger of being cut so that Harry can struggle with Captainly Responsibility.
Now the rightful hero of the team's back in town! (No mention of Ginny and her prodigious skills here, either? It's almost like Harry doesn't care about her unless she's right in front of him.) Sorry, Ron, no sharing in any glory (let alone personal) this time.
Or maybe trying to be scathing but you’ve got nothing.
I know! It's like 'Um...good one?' Harsh burn, Harry. You're more scathing talking to Ron.
Btw, Malfoy=Quidditch brooms.
LOL. As noted here: “Harry dropped his gaze to his treacle tart, his insides burning again. What he would give to fight Malfoy one-on-one”. The treacle tart has many forms... ;) http://mpuppet.livejournal.com/29623.html
Slughorn enters the room, preceded by a fat joke.
STOP SUPPRESSING ROWLING'S RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH!
After all, she invented Polyjuice.
I'm so glad that the Trio have benefitted once more from drugging students unconscious, imprisoning them, and stealing their bodies. I was worried they'd gotten their last hurrah for that in OotP, and I like to see credit where it's due.
Malfoy looks the way he did when Hermione punched him in the face. He was sitting at the Odeon at the time, and was so surprised at the way the movie changed what happened he dropped his popcorn.
Be fair, Magpie. The trouble is, of course, that women fancy Tom Felton (you're a woman, you know what it's like. The terrible confusion I have sometimes, wondering if all actors are in fact, the character they're portraying... I mean, I saw Legolas in the documentary LOTR, but then there was this other screen showing him as a totally different guy, with a beard, and on a pirate ship! WTF?!) but Draco is NOT Tom Felton! It's an easier mistake to make than Rowling thought, apparently.
Draco and Nott smirk skeptically
Even though they're totally enemies, because Nott doesn't need a gang, and is clever, and doesn't buy into evil bullies like Draco's spell, and is planning to save all the other Slytherins from his tyranny! *breathes through mouth* The fact that Nott has been mentioned thrice, always with Draco, is just underlining this! Nott for MoM!
