Re: My comments on Potions class were heeded! Excellent. Camilla Send a noteboard - 29/10/2010 11:52:12 PM
Or, well, you know what I mean. :P And good to see that Hermione does flourish in this sort of thing, too, even if she isn't remotely finished by the time class ends.

On that same topic, what's not to understand about that "Third Law"? I get that Harry wouldn't necessarily know which ingredients to add, or how to cast that Revelaspell, but to claim he doesn't even understand the principle? Weird.


Hmm. I can see Harry as having trouble with abstract thought.

Also, I love Christina Warbeck's lyrics and the way wizarding music uses magic metaphors like our music uses metaphors of everything else.

And Ron under the influence of the love potion, too. Great scene.
