Three good chapters StormCrow Send a noteboard - 22/07/2010 02:28:20 PM
Thoughts, feelings, etc.


We get a laugh in all three, with Lockhart disolving all the bones in Harry's arm. More with Lockhart getting blasted by Snape in the dueling club. Yet more with Hermoine turning into a cat with the Polyjuice Potion. :D

Harry's revelation as a Parselmouth is big in this as well, with all the suspicion towards him as the heir of Slytherin and the following attack on Justin Finch-Fletchey (sp?) .

Also, these chapters were an interesting expansion of the tension between Malfoy and Harry. In the Quiditch pitch, then in the dueling club (where Malfoy cheats, of course), and then an inside look into Slytherin and the "relationship" between Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle.

Can't say I'm sorry to see Colin Creevey, the human Dobby, get petrified and out of the story for a few chapters!

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 1606 Views
You're right. It's not as bad the second (or third) time around with him. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 01:54:01 PM 1398 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1433 Views
My problems with Dobby are very different from my problems with Lockhart Camilla - 21/07/2010 07:02:55 AM 1500 Views
I can see that and I understand completely. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 02:06:27 PM 1650 Views

This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 1522 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 1562 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 1489 Views

Re: Character development Seriana Sedai - 20/07/2010 06:45:43 AM 1347 Views

I found an error i the POA preview in the back of my book Deadsy - 20/07/2010 10:51:42 AM 1311 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1239 Views
I always felt that the first two movies were the best, and the others bungled the atmosphere. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 21/07/2010 03:08:29 PM 822 Views
I wonder if Rowling ever looks back and wishes she could change some stuff Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 06:44:41 PM 1326 Views
I think this book isn't as deep or as thoughtful as the first. Rebekah - 23/07/2010 11:36:17 PM 1389 Views
I feel the same way. aria - 24/07/2010 01:04:39 AM 1266 Views

But it was a question: Camilla - 27/07/2010 10:25:27 PM 1302 Views
Yes, but the two possibilities in Rebekah's post were either Wednesday or next Monday. Legolas - 27/07/2010 10:33:10 PM 1638 Views
