Re: Karkaroff, Moody, Fleur, Krum, Ron, Hermione, Snape and Rita Camilla Send a noteboard - 21/08/2010 04:40:39 PM
Karkaroff: If the last bunch of chapters did not convince us, he is now properly pegged as a bad guy. Not only by treating Krum differently from his other students (in stark contrast with anything Dumbledore might do), but also his fear of Moody (and Moody's look of intense dislike). He is the main candidate for evil guy, I'd say, in Rowling's flock of potential baddies in this book.

Definitely. And of course he sort of is evil, a lot like Snape except without the courage.


Yes. The difference between them makes me appreciate Snape more.

Moody: his look of intense dislike, of course, has a very different reason than what the first-time reader will attribute to him. I like this consonance of Moody and Crouch Jr. If all we had got from him had been acting a part, the ending would not have been as satisfying.

Yeah. What's also amazing is how he explains his own whole plot - to make himself less suspicious, one supposes, but still, such a risk!


Daring. But that is one of the reasons why I rather like Crouch Jr. He is a very cool and competent bad guy.

Fleur: arrogant. I smell a British idea of the French: unhappy with the weather and refusing to eat their cooking. And we get the explanation of the Veela grandmother. But I cannot help but feel Fleur is a bit of a cypher. She is pretty and arrogant, and that is it. I don't see her as being fleshed out until a little bit right at the end of book 6.

Well, there's the thing with her little sister. But yes.


True.

Krum: he isn't all that interesting, either. His lack of interest in fame is shown during the photography session, and I suppose that is both a plot (regarding Hermione) and a character point. He is clearly good at Quidditch because it interests him, not because he wants to be famous. It must be very annoying for him to suddenly be surrounded by all these people who want his autograph and stand on chairs to look at him. In that way he is a reflection of Harry, I suppose. But still. He seems to have no personality.

Interesting what a contrast that is with his appearance in book seven and the "What is the point of being an international Quidditch player if all the good-looking girls are taken?" comment. But not much of a personality yet, no, like Fleur.


I confess I don't really remember him from book 7. :<img class=' />
Do they look him up because of his wand?

I liked the discussion that Harry's entry into the Champions' room provoked in that it highlighted the characters of the participants. Dumbledore is level-headed and employs common sense (as well as literally seeing to the truth of things), MacGonnagall has unflinching faith in Dumbledore, Snape will use any excuse to attack Harry, Crouch is rule-oriented (not to mention a little out of it), Bagman is oblivious to the problematic side and shows that he has no sense of fair play. Karkaroff and Madamme Maxime rant and rave.

And "Moody" is paranoid and sets out his own plan. Yeah, true, it's a good discussion.

Ron: he really is astonishingly unreasonable. I don't think it is controversial to say that I think the fractures in the trio later on is as much down to Ron's deep seated issues as Harry's.

I don't know, it makes sense, and Harry's never been too tactful. But they both have issues, yeah.

Hermione: thank goodness she is sensible. She has insight. I like it. She is coming into her own more and more in this book. She is not just smart anymore. She is getting wise.

Definitely. Moving from purely book-smart to all-round smart. Getting exasperated with the boys, though - where is that awesome teaspoon comment again?


Teaspoon comment?
Is that the one in book 5? After Harry's date with Cho?

Snape: his comment to Hermione when he teeth are growing is one of those I find it hardest to forgive him. I don't understand why he would treat Hermione like that, though. She should appeal to him. Yes, she is Harry's friend, but she is smart and good at potions. Yes, she is muggle-born, but so was Lily.

I think it's because she tries too hard, maybe... or just because he picks on so many people. And reminding him of Lily might not actually make him treat her better.


Huh. I hadn't thought of that. She resembles Lily in more ways than birth, being exceptionally clever. And hanging out with someone who looks exactly like James Potter.

I love the drips that when poked and prodded reveal depth to Snape.

Rita: we get to see her in action. I wonder at the importance of sucking the quill -- does it somehow transfer her "voice" to the quill? And to what extent is her writing the result of the spin of an independent magical artefact, and how much her personality.

Seems possible, yeah. The writing is her own personality, I'd think...
