Re: He is so lovely. Camilla Send a noteboard - 03/08/2010 06:10:34 PM
I lovelovelove Lupin. Ahem. Oh, clear and rational analysis and discussion, you say? Right.

:D

First Scabbers. Not so much an observation as a question, really. If Pettigrew lives as a rat, in the body of a rat, and he never returns to human form, should he not age as a rat, and be very weak and die soon?

Dunno. How long do rats live? Couldn't magical ratty pets be longlived?


I don't know. The reason I brought it up was that the man in the pet shop said something about the common garden rat and living 3 years or so.

The Twins: I love how Fred and George tried to shut Percy in a pyramid. And their mocking parody of him greeting Harry had me giggling out loud. But then they are perfectly subtle and tactful about cheering Harry up about the dementors and Malfoy at the feast. They become many-faceted, not just clowns or funny happy guys. They are actually able to deal sensibly with a younger kid being bullied. I am impressed.

The twins are really well written characters. I believe everything about them. That's one of Rowling's talents, I think, creating multi-faceted personalities to inhabit her books.


Indeed. Or, she suggests, creates the forms, and then allows us to fill in all the rest. It is an astonishing talent, and one many of my favourite authors possesses. I prefer that to people who paint their characters in great detail and attempt to control my understanding of them. I suspect this is the reason why Roh and I have had so many heated debates over the various Rowling characters -- we each imbued them with different traits. This is possible because they are not two-dimensional. You can put a lot of stuff in a box; it is more difficult to put anything in sheet of paper.

I like Mr and Mrs Weasley's discussion on whether to tell Harry. It is nice to see they love him. And how Mr Weasley would be willing to go back on his word to Fudge because he feels Harry needs to know what is going on. Of course, this reflects on Fudge again, feeling it is better to just keep everyone in the dark.

So lovely. Fudge is the perfect government man. It's kind of reassuring that even the Magical World has such useless leaders. :P


Reassuring? Really?

And Crookshanks is perfectly lovely. I don't see what Ron is on about. It sounds like the world's best cat. Although it isn't a cat, is it. It's a something else, the name of which escapes me.

Cats drool.


Not as much as dogs.

But Crookshanks is funny. Reminds me of Greebo.


That hadn't occurred to me, but you are right. At least partially. Less ... insane?

But LupinLupinLupin! Ah, one of my major literary crushes. And it is not just the fact that he offers free chocolate (always a plus). He is asleep, then, as soon as the dementors are there he protects the kids and then he offers them chocolate. Lovely. Perfect. He makes everything feel safe and good.

I bet he's pretty huggable as well.


I am sure he is. I have never quite forgiven Harry for not giving him a hug when he left.

Malfoy is his usual self. Clearly mocking Harry's reaction to the dementors to cover up his own fear of them. And then getting suitably punished for his disrespect by Buckbeak.

~nods~ Slimy little twerp. I do feel sorry for him, though. What with his father and all.


Yes. Still, that excuse only goes so far. He is getting to a point where it is getting a little worn.

Sir Cadogan is a little annoying. Or quite annoying. But he never reaches anywhere near the levels of annoyance reached in the last book.

~nods~

Trelawny. Is lovely in an annoying sort of way. I fully intend to start walking up to random strangers and say "You know that thing you are dreading? It will happen on [random date]". It is genius. And I really like how some of her "predictions" turn out to be real, but not in the way she interprets them. For example, the ``around Easter, one of our number will leave us forever''. And she does seem to have a good ability to read human nature, as when she identifies Neville as the one most likely to break a cup if prodded in the right way. She is a problematic character, though. Very morally grey in the way she abuses the credibility of students by making them think one of them is going to die, for example. And I wonder whether she got the twins mixed up when she told Parvati to beware of red-haired men, as her sister is the one who has a miserable time with Ron at the Yule Ball.

Trelawny is great. I like that Rowling remembers to have useless established teachers as well as the replacements the kids have suffered over the past two years. Makes Quirrell and Lockhart seem much less anomalous.


True.

And Emma Thompson was the perfect pick for Trelawney.


She was indeed. There has been some very good casting in the movies. Trelawny, Lockhart, Snape, McGonnagall, Mr & Mrs Weasley, the Twins, Wood, ...

Also: I've often wondered whether the teenage girl readers are supposed to think that the thing Lavender is dreading is her period. Might make young girls feel a bit better about the fact they're worried about it. I like to think of Rowling as being caring like that.


Huh. That never occurred to me.

McGonnagall, as usual, the voice of clear-cutting no-nonsense reason, knowing the perfect way to dispell Trelawny's mumbo-jumbo.

I had a teacher like McGonagall. She was wonderful. Strict but fair.


I am envious.

How good a book is this - compared to the rest of the series, and compared to YA books in general? *NM* Legolas - 28/07/2010 01:19:06 PM 1108 Views
I'd say it is one of the best in the series Camilla - 02/08/2010 10:23:49 AM 1883 Views

Okay, so possibly a Shakespeare reference also used by Bradbury. Whatever. *NM* Legolas - 05/08/2010 12:37:56 AM 1012 Views
