If I ever write a set of sporkings again, I’ll make sure to write them all up before I start posting them.
Of course, the problem with that is that you have to force feed yourself a boring doorstop of a book over a short time. Even if you start out with great enthusiasm, you'll probably get bogged down about halfway through.
I’m still not sure what’s supposed to be so difficult about the Hogwarts curriculum. From what we see, it’s all just a matter of waving your wand the right way and saying particular words.
I think the "difficulty" is probably an informed attribute, like "James reformed" and "Aberforth slept with goats."
Wait, what are first-years doing at the Quidditch try-outs? Last we heard, only second-years and above were allowed to play on the House teams. Oh dear, continuity.
Maybe after an exception was made for Harry, a lot of parents lobbied the school to change the rule. I'm sure everybody's not impressed by the Boy Who Lived to Have Exceptions Made for Him.
Of course, Ron gets chosen as Keeper; and of course, it’s all thanks to Hermione. Although given the levels of anxiety Ron suffers every time he plays a game, I can’t help thinking that it might have been kinder of Hermione to let him fail.
No, no, no! Hermione can't have a failure for a boyfriend. Ron has to succeed to be worthy of Hermione--even if he only succeeds through her intervention.
