And Trelawny is right in her predictions again, of course: difficult times are ahead. And I suppose the thing that Harry fears most is Voldemort's return? Of course it could also be that Sirius is taken from him, which is also too close at hand for comfort.

I'm not sure they're intended to be too accurate here, but yeah, not much of a stretch to say they are.


Intended by Trelawny? Certainly not. Intended by Rowling, who knows. It has been a pattern before.

I also like how Moody's "I knew your father" to Malfoy and "Another old friend" concerning Snape are perfectly truthful. For all the wrong reasons. He is the reverse Sirius, really. I suppose that continues the age old theme of "things are not what they seem".

Yep. What I'm wondering is where Crouch Junior got his extensive knowledge of Moody from. Voldemort himself? His own limited experience back in the day? Torturing Moody for information?


I don't know. But so far I have found that many of his comments work both as Crouch and as Moody, so to a certain extent it may not be so much studied as speaking from the heart (with caution).

Moody's setting Neville up to help Harry in the underwater challenge is a well masked plot point. It is perfectly masked as compassion, and it is introduced before Harry is even chosen, and so we are not yet looking for anything out of the ordinary. Not that it would even be out of the ordinary if we were looking for it.

Yeah, it's clever. Again wondering where he got his information, though. I don't have the impression the teachers are told such details in advance... did Bertha Jorkins already know all the challenges?


Ah. Maybe? Surely they will have been planning it a long time.

I had fun trying to figure out the made up prophecies that Ron and Harry throw together for the moon chart. If they follow the trend from the last book, these will also come true. But I cannot figure out what treasured possession Harry loses.

I doubt it. :P


But it would be so cool.

The twins/Bagman enigma is still running, with two letter-writing/covert discussion moments. I am not carried away. And we get the setting up AND resolution of the "what is Hermione doing in the library" enigma in two chapters. Not a terribly great revelation, but I don't suppose that was the point.

Yeah, in hindsight it's not really that mysterious. Nor is what Hermione's been up to, really. Just keeping us on our toes and giving us enough enigmas to wonder about that we don't know which the important ones are that need focusing on.


I remember being confused by the Fred and George plotline the first time I read it. As I recall I was still confused by it once I had finished the book. I couldn't see the point of it. That may still be colouring my take on it now, I suppose.

But why is Hagrid away? Is it really just he blast-ended skrewts? I cannot remember.

I think it's just a matter of keeping the first meeting of Hagrid and Olympe off-screen.


That is a little disappointing. Especially since it is emphasised in that way.
