*Why can Harry not practice his Summoning Charms without Hermione? He can’t keep pointing and speaking on his own? Couldn’t she just write CONCENTRATE on a piece of paper, given that’s all she’s saying to help?
Slightly OT, but recently I've seen more than one post implying that Snape is a terrible human being because he failed to teach Harry Occlumency, in that all he did was stand around and tell him to try harder. Have we ever seen anyone teaching magic by any other method, ever? (Maybe Lupin -- I haven't read PoA in years.)
*OMG, the thing Krum did to the dragon was AWFUL! It was in agony and smashed all its eggs? I hate this Tournament. I really hate it.
Sometimes the WW reminds me of Ancient Rome. The Roman overlords would import expensive animals, like giraffes and lions and elephants, to wow the populace as they were slaughtered in the arena. What else would you do with beautiful exotic beasts?
Well, it’s nice that Harry and Ron now both know, as we all already did, that Harry didn’t put his name into the Goblet himself, but are we ever going to address that "Maybe you’ll have a scar now, that’s what you want, isn’t it?" remark?
I really thought the badge-throwing scene was being honest about Harry's dark side, as in, the fact that he feels entitled to go too far when he gets his righteous rage on is a flaw. Unfortunately for that interpretation, even now that he's cooled off it never occurs to him that he crossed a line. Ron doesn't have to apologize for making Harry throw things at him? That's real big of you Harry.
