I'd have reacted rather like Ron, methinks. Or fainted and been eaten by huge spiders.

Hagrid's sweet, really. I am so glad that Film Hagrid hardly sticks in my head. He's one of the badly-done characters in the film. Book Hagrid is much, much better, and far less bombastic than Hollywood's version (surprise surprise).

I about lost it with that line. Can you imagine standing there with the huge spiders converging and then Aragog pronouncing judgement like that?


Indeed. Hagrid lost many, many points there.

Thank god for the return of the wild Ford Anglia!


Indeed, again. Do you think all Ford Anglias come with sentience, or did Mr Weasley's enchantments bring it about?
