any chapter minus Harry, which explains how very mediocre he is, and has Snape snarking and Narcissa, automatically joins the Top Ten.
Oh yes. Although I think I'll have to read through the book again to say anything confident about what my favourite chapter is. But I like this one a lot.
They can look sassy and believe that their Menfolk may once, possibly, sort of made a mistake, but in general, they're shrieky, attractive and sort of Stepford-esque.
Yeah, it's probably a bit too optimistic to suppose that Bellatrix would actually make any sort of genuine attempt at independence. I thought the Bellatrix/Ginny shipping was to do with the latter's posession by Tom Riddle, but I suppose any avenue works if you ship that way.
What with that and the whole punch/slap mistake, I hope this will end the constant 'OMG u fangirls r liek so confused with the movies'.
I think you'll find that being confused with the movies is fine and dandy if you're having a bit of Hermione Granger/Emma Watson confusion, or mistaking the ridiculous Hippogriff flight for something that happened in the books, but anything vaguely Slytherin-supporting is (a)a clear indication that you are a stupid movie-fangirl, like that's suddenly a bad thing and (b)obviously too stupid to realise that the "Slytherin" actors are quite mediocre at portraying their characters, unlike that wealth of talent that is Daniel Radcliffe.
No! Not in a HP book!
I sometimes get the impression that Severus has fallen into the books from somewhere else, into a big pile of plot-crap. Only time will tell if Rowling intends to do something supar-speshul with him, or if it was an accident. But he's certainly one of the best characters.
You'd think Narcissa would remember that.
That's what comes from spending so long between books, I reckon. But yeah, surely she would remember. Perhaps she assumes that the information was passed from Kreacher to Narcissa to Lucius to Severus to Voldemort. It could happen.
Or else blood is important.
The only thing that makes me think Rowling isn't pushing the blood = destiny thing is that Sirius defied his family. But then we hear that Regulus is apparently the mysterious R.A.B, which suggests that he was good deep down after all, and probably got it from Mr. Black, who was probably a sekrit hero or something, under the thumb of his horrible wife, proving that some women shouldn't be allowed to marry and keep their men down. This is why I sincerely hope that R.A.B isn't Regulus, because it may well lead to this kind of drivel.
