*ETA: How sad that I'd like to think that all this is building up to Hermione's chilling mind-wipe of her parents in DH, but now I think it's laying the ground for self-sacrificing Hermione. Look how nobly brisk she is about her personal sacrifice of blowing off her parents! If she dies after she mind-wipes them they won't spend the rest of their lives mourning her! How sad is that for Hermione?
I don't have sympathy. Because mind-wiping her parents would almost have certainly led to wiping the memories of their closest friends and some of their patients. Hermione couldn't have allowed people to ask questions now could she? She must have had a busy summer grabbing everyone her parents knew. I wonder if Ginny helped. It sounds like her kind of job.
If Hermione had died, her parents would have been arrested for her murder. Hermione, so compassionate and worthy to be the friend of the CHOSEN ONE!
*Ron, as usual, looks like the clown when a wizard mistakes his freckles for a disease (for a second there I thought he might have acne).
Ron can't ever be or look acceptable. He must always be the village idiot. Sometimes I wonder what the guy Ron was based on thinks of all of this. I remember seeing him on a special about Rowling. He looked distinctly uncomfortable.
*Mundungus offers the kids a stolen car, which is perfectly appropriate for visiting Arthur. As long as no gold’s changed hands, he’d have no trouble looking the other way on this one. It’s stolen AND magicked? Excellent!
Hold on there, not totally excellent. Excellent would have included world class sporting event tickets for the whole family and anyone else they wanted to accompany them in the stolen car. We have to VALUES here, you know.
