Wow—there is so much WTFery in this chapter. So much.

Read Chapter 27 )

*A/N: Seriously, how in the hell is that NOT offensive? Why does the book treat it like it isn’t a big deal?!

**A/N: I’m sorry—it’s wrong of Umbridge to hate Firenze because he’s part human…but it’s perfectly okay for HERMIONE to compare him (unironically) to a FARM ANIMAL?!

In honor of the Bonfire Night festivities being held in the city, have another one of these!

Some brief mention of suicide in this one )
*A/N: Just because you point out that Hermione would be a textbook Ravenclaw if she didn’t have to be in Gryffindor for the sake of the story doesn’t excuse it, Rowling….

**A/N: For the record, this was also in the text.

Excerpt here.

Maybe Pottermore members can fill us on on what's in the rest of "Rita's" article?

I have to wonder what they have added to the wizarding world's water supply. Remember how wizards used to be fickle creatures, capable of going from hero-worship to deep suspicion and hatred based on a few gossip columns or rumors in the halls? No longer!

As the crowd stampeded, tents were flattened and small children mown down. Fans from all corners of the globe stormed towards the area where members of Dumbledore’s Army were rumoured to have been sighted, desperate above all else for a glimpse of the man they still call the Chosen One.


Since Harry is about to turn 34, this is roughly 16 years after the DA did its thing. That they're still famous for being the DA, and Auroring and whatever else is clearly a distant, secondary consideration, suggests that they haven't really done anything all that newsworthy lately. (I would bet on the cut being from a game of pickup Quidditch with Ron & co. or something equally boring.) Yet they're excited enough to see Harry that Rita can spin it into a stampede?

There must have been nothing happening at all in the WW for the last 16 years. I guess they really do disappear when Rowling isn't looking.

In the discussion about "The Centaur and the Sneak", Dracasdiablo made a very interesting point. She stated that Marietta was a bad friend to Cho. After thinking about this for a while, I have to admit that I actually agree. The quotes that follow will, I hope, make clear why I think this. Read more... )

* First of all, sorry this is so late, I'm afraid I've been a bit busy preparing to go back to university.

* This is the chapter in which Hermione officially crosses the line from “occasionally strident and self-righteous but on the whole likeable and sympathetic character” to “dangerous sociopath”.

I seemed to have forgotten Jabootu for this one. Go figure.
