Indeed, but.... ~spoileriffic for Book 4~ Elaine Send a noteboard - 05/08/2010 02:19:22 PM
at the point in late Goblet of Fire where we find out about the stunt the family Crouch pulled to get Barty Jr. out of Azkaban. I seem to recall that there's something about how someone witnessed the burial of "Barty Jr." (in reality his mother) with their own eyes, or some such.


...it was Sirius who saw "Barty Jr" being buried with his own eyes. Dementors are blind.

When you think about it, it makes sense that there would have to be human wardens as well as Dementors. Can you see Dementors going around providing food, cleaning the building, and so on? If that's the case, though, those poor humans must have pretty much the worst job in all of the wizarding world...


I do agree with you here. Or, perhaps, house-elves. Poor house-elves. Hermione would not approve.

How good a book is this - compared to the rest of the series, and compared to YA books in general? *NM* - 28/07/2010 01:19:06 PM 1039 Views
I'd say it is one of the best in the series - 02/08/2010 10:23:49 AM 1747 Views
Absolutely. - 05/08/2010 08:15:20 PM 1921 Views
More of a question, really - 01/08/2010 10:40:23 PM 1800 Views
I think this is situational and a sad commentary on his home life. - 02/08/2010 03:01:49 PM 1637 Views
Well, but the question still remains - 02/08/2010 03:04:01 PM 1754 Views
Oh, got it. - 02/08/2010 03:12:47 PM 1842 Views
Ah, interesting - 02/08/2010 03:50:41 PM 1891 Views
The problem came down to actually doing the work. - 02/08/2010 03:54:21 PM 1813 Views
I never had any. - 03/08/2010 03:25:07 PM 1731 Views
I'm finding this one more difficult to discuss. - 03/08/2010 05:38:01 PM 1818 Views
Apparently you are not alone in that. - 03/08/2010 05:48:13 PM 1951 Views
I suppose this is more or less the right place for this. - 04/08/2010 11:59:45 PM 1906 Views
Hehehe - 05/08/2010 12:14:38 AM 1821 Views
I had totally forgotten about that choir and the Ray Bradbury reference. - 05/08/2010 12:37:09 AM 1733 Views
Okay, so possibly a Shakespeare reference also used by Bradbury. Whatever. *NM* - 05/08/2010 12:37:56 AM 947 Views
Possibly? It's the witches in Macbeth. *NM* - 05/08/2010 08:36:20 AM 936 Views

Suggestions for the re-read. - 28/07/2010 06:14:49 PM 1948 Views
I was wondering when this would come up - 28/07/2010 06:39:01 PM 1780 Views
I knew I was gonna forget something. - 28/07/2010 06:55:50 PM 1877 Views
Perhaps - 29/07/2010 09:29:53 AM 1821 Views
I considered that, but it seemed overly non-trusting, and nobody has posted in them yet? *NM* - 29/07/2010 10:12:23 AM 850 Views
Yet - 29/07/2010 10:13:44 AM 1867 Views

I think a little break might be a good idea. Give people a chance to catch up. - 02/08/2010 11:46:13 PM 1880 Views

I think I should make clear, just in case, that I don't mean immediately. - 03/08/2010 05:11:26 PM 1758 Views
Yes - 03/08/2010 05:13:10 PM 1760 Views
