*The other spiders won’t let Hagrid near their webs now that Aragog’s gone, because even monstrous spiders find him annoying.
And yet it still doesn't occur to him that maybe the giant spiders aren't the nice, cuddly, misunderstood creatures he always took them for. It kind of pisses me off that it's looking like Hagrid is actually going to be rewarded for his attitude towards animals in the one and only instance he was right. Grawp. Or Gwap. Or whatever his name is. I bet he gets the giants on their side and it's all "Yay Hagrid the Open-Minded!" from then on. :P
*During chapters like this you wonder if JKR ever regretted just not giving the Gryffindors an actual plot for this book, because finding ways for them to kill time until Malfoy’s ready in June seems like it might have ultimately been harder.
Honestly, I'm really curious as to how they're going to turn HBP into a Harry-centric movie. Beyond my doubts as to Dan Radcliff's ability to portray Harry's having a raging chest monster that no one can see without just looking like something from The Exorcist, there's just nothing at all happening with the Trio or even Gryffindor in general to make a movie with. God, if we get more sunlit days I don't know what I'll do.
