Notes:
(1) "Harry was too used to [Ron and Hermione's] bickering to bother trying to reconcile them; he felt it was a better use of his time to eat his ... steak-and-kidney pie."
- Smart. He's got his priorities straight.
(2) Harry: "[Umbridge's speech] sounded like a load of waffle to me."
Hermione: "There was some important stuff hidden in the waffle."
- Mmm... waffles.

(1) Well, I'm nearly finished with this. Now I've got to hunker down and write my review. I simultaneously hate writing reviews but love finishing reviews. It's like exercise, and Harry Potter reviews are especially stressful and demanding on account of the extra attention.
(2) Feel free to use my gifs. They're on my Imgur at: .

Notes:
(1) "Cornelius, I am ready to fight your men � and win again!"
- Dumbledore giving orders to Fudge while still an enemy of the state is one of the series most boss moments.
(2) Phineas Nigellus: "You see, Dumbledore? ... Never try to understand the students. They hate it. They would much rather be tragically misunderstood..."
- A bit cynical, but he's not incorrect.

Notes:
(1) Neville: "A brain attacked Ron but I think he’s all right � and Hermione’s unconscious, but we could feel a pulse �"
- You'd think all the time fighting with Hermione would have better prepared Ron to fight another brain.
(2) Voldemort calls Bellatrix "Bella"... wonder if he's a "Twilight" fan?
(3) It's easy to forget that people still think Sirius is a murderer.

(1) "[Harry] just wanted to get them all out of this alive, make sure that none of his friends paid a terrible price for his stupidity."
- That's certainly a good reason.
(2) Harry: "How come Voldemort wants it?"
Bellatrix: "You dare speak his name?"
Harry: "Yeah."
- Good answer, Harry. Very forthright.
(3) Ron: "Accio brain!"
- C'mon, Ron, you've already got brains.

Notes:
(1) Hermione treats Luna like McGonagall treats Trelawney. With open disdain at the mere mention of absurdities, but with affection and friendship when faced against a common enemy.
(2) Harry, Luna and Neville being the only ones who can hear voices behind the veiled archway should have been a light bulb moment, since they're also the only ones who can see thestrals.

(1) Ron: "What’ve you done with Umbridge?"
Harry: "She got carried away."
- Very James Bond of him.
- Even in life-threatening situations there's always time for jokes.
(2) Harry: "Ron’s the only one with a broomstick that isn’t being guarded by
a security troll, so �"
Ginny: "I’ve got a broom!"
- Ginny being invisible to Harry again. He'll change his tune next book.

(1) '"What did you call us?" shouted a wild-looking black centaur, whom Harry recognized as Bane.'
- Bane? I bet he was born in the darkness.
- In my head he's voiced by Tom Hardy.
(2) "Real tears [slid] down [Hermione's] face now. “We haven’t done anything to hurt you ... we just want to go back to school.�
- Of course she wants to go back to school, she's Hermione.

(1) Umbridge: "They were all bleating about silencing you ... but I was the one who actually did something about it ... Only you wriggled out of that one, didn’t you, Potter?"
- How very "If it wasn't for you meddling kids..."
(2) "Though Hermione was sobbing desperately into her hands, there was no trace of a tear."
- Great! Cries all the time, but now she's unable!

(1) "The confederation had met for the first time in France ... Goblins had tried to attend and been ousted ... And nobody from Liechtenstein had wanted to come."
- Typical Liechtenstein, always going their own way.
(2) Hermione: "This isn’t a criticism, Harry! But ... don’t you think you’ve got a bit of a—a—saving-people-thing?"
- Well, not the worst complex to have.

Notes:
(1) Hermione loves elves but hates giants... a bit hypocritical if you ask me. Also ironic since nearly every elf hates her, but Grawp adores her.
(2) 'Harry raised his wand, looked directly at Umbridge, and imagined her being sacked.
"Expecto Patronum!"'
- Sure, that's a happy thought... though, if it were me, I'd add some sort of humiliation to make it extra happy.

Britishisms make for great euphemisms. Everything sounds classier, cuter or quirkier :)
Nah, Umbridge can go to hell, she never said anything important.

Hermione's never blinded by hatred i guess

The important stuff in the waffles is when you get the fancier kind and there's bits of sugar in there and just *chefs kiss*Uhh. Harry Potter comment. Uhm. Go Team Ron. You can win this war with Hermione.

I don't think I've ever had waffles before. I only really recall having pancakes. I feel like I'm missing out.
The thing with Hermione is that she'll keep going on about something, trying to get you to change your mind. As in SPEW or homework schedules. Ron, on the other hand, refuses to concede to arguments he thinks are wrong. On the whole, Hermione's the aggressor. Ron's playing defense.

Hmm, yeah. She learned her lesson though. Not everyone in power has something important to say *lol*

Harry, don't insult waffles. 😂

True. Though her speech and one look at her would've been enough for me to decide if I agree with her
Sakshi wrote: "True. Though her speech and one look at her would've been enough for me to decide if I agree with her"The pink cardigan would put me off right away. In the animal kingdom, bright colors are always a sign of danger. All the most poisonous creatures are brightly colored.
Lol she is a poisonous creature tho, and i love the scene when the centaurs take her, the best treatment she deserves.
Sakshi wrote: "Lol she is a poisonous creature tho, and i love the scene when the centaurs take her, the best treatment she deserves."She definitely gets her comeuppance. It's a very fitting sendoff :)
