Notes:
(1) Lavender: "Oooh, which one’s that, Professor?"
Trelawney: "It is Uranus, my dear."
Ron: "Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?"
- Ron will regret planting that seed.
(2) Hagrid: “Yeh’ll do wha� yer told or I’ll be takin� a leaf outta Professor Moody’s book... I hear yeh made a good ferret, Malfoy.�
- Sadly, Hagrid can't legally do magic.

Notes:
(1) For someone who doesn't think much of muggles, Fudge sure loves to wear their clothes.
(2) "Sirius Black!" [Mrs. Weasley] shrieked, pointing at him.
"Mum, shut up!" Ron yelled. "It’s okay!"'
- Often a good "shut up" is the quickest remedy for hysteria.
(3) Dumbledore forces Sirius and Snape to shake hands. Ever the teacher, ever the students.

Notes:
(1) Fawkes uses his tears to speed up Harry's wounds healing. That's handy... sort of like wizard Polysporin.
(2) Now that Fleur likes Ron and pays him attention, I guess she's not hot no more. Not surprising. (see gif)
- Alternatively, once kissed, perhaps her veela powers wore off.
- Alternatively, perhaps Ron's shifted his attention elsewhere.

Notes:
(1) Harry's first clue should have been that Crouch always called Voldemort "The Dark Lord." All upright wizards use "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." The boldest just say Voldemort.
(2) Wonder if all the lip licking meant David Tennant needed ChapStick on standby?
(3) Karkaroff fled? Who's going to sail the ship back to Durmstrang? Magic, most likely.

Notes:
(1) Not the most impressive group of Death Eaters here. A bunch of no-names, Buckbeak's would-be executioner and some Slytherin dads.
(2) Wormtail speaks rat. Apparently being animagus gives you the ability to speak to animals. I guess McGonagall speaks cat.
(3) Voldemort gives a traditional villain tell-all monologue. A tad cliché if you ask me.

Notes:
(1) '"Stop being noble," said Harry irritably. "Just take it, then we can get out of here."'
- Yeah, Cedric, stop being noble! Wait... no! Be noble! Take a dive!
(2) First student death, and the series is never the same again.
(3) Baby Voldemort is no Baby Yoda.
(4) Color-changing tattoos would be a goldmine!
(5) "Lord Voldemort had risen again."

Notes:
(1) Harry: "Mrs. Weasley, you didn’t believe that rubbish Rita Skeeter wrote in Witch Weekly, did you? Because Hermione’s not my girlfriend."
Molly: "Oh! ... No � of course I didn’t!"
Narrator: "But she became considerably warmer toward Hermione after that."
(2) In North America we say "uh" not "er." The sphinx's password's "spiduh" to us.

Notes:
(1) Continuity error. This is set in 1994, the Macarena (see gif) wasn't a thing until 1996.
- The male cheerleader on the right's creeping me out.
(2) "Fleur ... was eyeing Bill with great interest over her mother’s shoulder. Harry could tell she had no objection whatsoever to long hair or earrings with fangs on them."
- Fleur loves ze bad boys.

Glitchreads:
(1) Somehow, my recent review for "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" switched editions. Normally I'd switch it back, but it's the second review I've written for the book, and ŷ only lets you switch the edition of either your earlier or more popular review. So now my book covers no longer match! and my OCD is driving me nuts!

Notes:
(1) Krum's oddly puritan about Hermione possibly being with other guys. Who knew?
(2) Hagrid: “The less you lot ’ave ter do with these foreigners, the happier yeh’ll be. Yeh can� trust any of ’em.�
Harry: “You were getting on all right with Madame Maxime.�
Hagrid: “Don� you talk ter me abou� her! ... You can� trust any of ’em!�
- Xenophobic much?

Notes:
(1) 'Both Harry’s and Ron’s [Easter eggs] were the size of dragon eggs and full of homemade toffee. Hermione’s, however, was smaller than a chicken egg. Her face fell when she saw it.
"Your mum doesn’t read 'Witch Weekly,' by any chance, does she, Ron?" she asked quietly.
"Yeah ... Gets it for the recipes."
Hermione looked sadly at her tiny egg.'

TMR Haha good update.


Maja Ingrid 1 Yepp, that joke gets even more funny (view spoiler)

2 Also sadly is that Malfoy is someone who would take that threat and bait Hagrid to use magic to get him fired...

Yes, my thoughts exactly :) (view spoiler)

Yes, if the Buckbeak incident says anything, it's that Malfoy isn't shy about using manipulation to hurt Hagrid. On the bright side, I'm just glad that Hagrid's standing up to Malfoy. He's a teacher after all! He shouldn't have to put up with bullying from a student.

Malfoy will do everything if it means getting Hagrid fired...
Yes, it's great he's standing up to Malfoy, even if it might end up in trouble for him, because of the "My FaTheR wiLL HeAr AbOuT ThiS"

At the very worst, Hagrid would at least have his self-respect. And no job's worth compromising that. Plus, Hagrid doesn't actually threaten Malfoy. He doesn't say what it is Moody did that he'd like to imitate, or even say he thinks Malfoy would make a good ferret, only that he heard people say it :)


Calis Johnson My favorite line from this book
