Re: Oh, you're right, it is then. I thought you meant she said it to Harry.

Maybe she has no friends, and so the closest she gets is a competitor? I'm sorry. I am not a great fan of Fleur. Although she wins some points later on.
I sort of am, actually... perhaps because I found Ginny's treatment of her, what with the "Phlegm" and all, to be uncalled for and rude. Most of the women in the series seem to underestimate her and/or loathe her because of her effect on men, but she did get chosen as champion for her school, and proved her courage and competence there.
This is true. I suppose she functions as a comment on the dismissal of someone because they are pretty. And yes, the women are too rude. But...
Yes. Doesn't that happen just after Harry's date with Cho? When they are sitting together discussing how she was crying, and then Hermione explains, and Ron comments that nobody could have all that in their head at once, and presto insult?
Yes, now that you mention it, you're right.
Or am I taking that from the films? This is why I hate adaptations. It makes keeping the action of the book in your head more difficult.
True.
