Oh, but it's not Hagrid-as-teacher they disliked, oh no. It's the actual subject! Yeah, because nobody would care about magical creatures normally.
Yeah, because animals are never a popular subject. I notice Herbology isn't suffering from lack of students, but what kind of kid would be interested in dragons and griffons and such? How could that ever be an attractive subject? Face it, if Hagrid ran a candy store people would suddenly go off the stuff while Snape's brocolli stand continue to do a brisk business.
Harry sniffs what will later be revealed as the love potion. It reminds him of treacle tart, broomstick handles and something at The Burrow. Harry/broom/treacle tart/Pigwidgeon OT4! Honest, guv.
I love the fact that Harry knows it's from The Burrow, because what Harry wants is a place in the Weasley house more than the girl. (Whereas the broomstick handle reminds him of Draco.:-D)
Lucky thing Ginny apparently reeks of flowers, suddenly. Probably comes from peeing perfume.
And yeah, I'm really happy not to know what reminds Hermione of Ron. Just his general ginger manliness, I guess. But what do you do if you're not in love with somebody yet? Obviously we're supposed to assume Hermione loves Eau-de-Ron because it's Eau-de-Ron. Would the Potion make Dean Thomas smell of Ron if he gave it to her? (Now I wonder what it smells like to Ginny: bat bogeys, chocolate and 5 days without a shower adolescent boy. Mmmm!)
Hermione reveals she's Muggle-born and Slughorn doesn't mind. And Draco looks like he apparently did when Hermione punched him in the face. In the movie. Yeah.
Having seen the clip I wonder if it startled everyone when Draco fell violently out of his chair and began to cry.
But, Hermione does the special spell-revealing spell on the thing, and it's just a book.
I guess we'll just not ask why she didn't do that back in CoS.
