Re: A few more... Camilla Send a noteboard - 18/08/2010 02:13:25 PM
Fred and George's bet, their winning, the leprechaun gold and their being paid, the explanation for much of their later odd behaviour, is all here in these three chapters. I don't really see the point of this plot line. The only reason for it that I can see is to make us think that they are the strange thing that goes on at Hogwarts. But to introduce a whole extra plot line for that...

The leprechaun gold will also be a contributing factor for the big fight between Harry and Ron later on, and I think this whole plotline is meant to underscore the poverty of the Weasleys and how that does affect them (although you have to wonder, if even a public servant doesn't make enough to live decently, when it seems widespread in the wizarding world to have stay-at-home-mums, why there isn't much more poverty). And it doesn't make much sense for Harry to give them the gold at the end if they haven't been shown beforehand to be in need of it.


True. Although it has been well established already that the Weasleys have little money. But I suppose driving it home isn't a bad idea.

I was also surprised to realise that both the mascots actually are relevant for the later story (Veela ->Fleur, and Leprechauns->Bagman's & Twins' plot).

Good point.

A few more things:

- The Trio actually stumbles upon the kobolds with their (fake) gold that they've just gotten from Bagman. By throwing the Veela's inbetween that and the Bagman meeting, Rowling obscures the connection that might otherwise have been a tad more obvious.


I noticed that.

- Percy mentions Mermish as one of the languages Crouch speaks


I did not notice that.

- First mention of the Department of Mystification, and iirc one of the guys mentioned here will be Imperiused by Voldemort in book five


I noticed that. Perkins, was it? Also, I have a nagging feeling we should know who Basil is, but I can't think of any.

- Before Crouch realizes Winky and his son are involved, he shows a little of the mentality that so abhorred Dumbledore and his sympathizers - and Harry, in the Pensieve - thirteen years before.


Yes.

- Fudge almost directly admitting that Malfoy obtained tickets for the Top Box through a generous donation to St. Mungo's, not for the last time; you have to wonder if some of those generous donations don't stick to Fudge's fingers in the process, considering how thick they are


Yes, and he doesn't even seem to realise it is problematic. Although, I suppose giving sports ticket for a major donation to a hospital is not really terribly problematic. But you are quite right that it sounds like a pattern.

- Re: sexism among Death Eaters and friends: Fudge has never met Narcissa yet? Seriously? What, does that woman ever even leave her house?


I know. It is a little odd.
