Notes:
(1) Ginny starts dating Michael Corner, Ron hates Michael Corner... it's math.
(2) Hermione: "It says in Hogwarts, A History that the founders thought boys were less trustworthy than girls."
- On the whole, sure. Though a girl is the book's big turncoat.
(3) Harry: "Don’t worry, I’ll behave myself..."
- Moments after founding a clandestine outlaw combat guild.

Notes:
(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: https://imgur.com/user/jaysongo/posts.

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.

Notes:
(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.

Notes:
(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.

Notes:
(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.

Notes:
(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!

Notes:
(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.

The lack of self-awareness is exquisite :)
I do love how often I get that gif, lolz - I'm not so self absorbed to think it's "mine" but it does make me smile 😁And not only because I can imagine what fun Dan Radcliff had playing all the different versions of "himself" 😂 🤣

Happy you like it! Makes me wonder whether I should have specific gifs for specific people... like ringtones. Possibly that would just have to happen organically, like how something becomes a running joke. Anyway, I'll make this one yours. Not to say I won't use it in other occasions where it's fitting, but I'll use it extra often for you :)
Noooo use them as you wish my dear, but i guess depending on individuals own speech patterns *cough*typing*cough* certain gifs prob come to mind more often than others *whistles* 😅
Aoife - Bookish_Babbling wrote: "Noooo use them as you wish my dear, but i guess depending on individuals own speech patterns *cough*typing*cough* certain gifs prob come to mind more often than others *whistles* 😅"Oh, no worries. I do try to keep things interesting and not use the same gifs too often. Some I'll use more often than not because they come in so handy. My current favorite, for example, is this one:
Aoife.....for some reason you are sounding like a Fairy Godmother Don't know why but l just read this conversation in Maggie Smith's voice 😂
Especially your sentence: l agree with that kid
Bahahaha as honoured as I am to be compared to Dame Maggie and will admit to being well old *gulp* ... I'm deffo more of a shoulder demon than fairy godmother 😈#classicenabler
Okkkkk ......so a Godmother who is actually cool!!!Like rather than suggesting to stay out of trouble you can probably give some advice to how to have adventure!!!!
Imagine you being Sirius 2.0
I can neither confirm nor deny any such comparisons 😇 But I do believe in encouraging friends to live their best lives and do what makes them happy so long as it doesn't hurt anyone 🤩
We only get to do this once in this form in any case 😈

Well, she's Irish... fairies are sort of their thing :)

Better believe it. This isn't the first time you've brought up being a "shoulder demon." In fact, I've used the gif below in our conversations several times, bringing it back to gif frequency :)

'Tis true, she speaks to you out of the fire and everything, you know, being a demon and all :)

You know... girls can be every bit as untrustworthy as guys... but it's nice to see sexism going our way for once XDBecause forming a secret combat guild is absolutely nothing. It's something that you do everyday *lol*
Alexandra Elend Wolf wrote: "You know... girls can be every bit as untrustworthy as guys... but it's nice to see sexism going our way for once XD"Yeah, there are plenty of examples: Rita Skeeter, Umbridge, Aunt Marge, Bellatrix, Cho's redhead friend, etc. I wouldn't trust any of them. And, yeah, it's nice girls are given the benefit of the doubt in the wizarding world, at least :)

Perhaps he's speaking relatively. You know, compared to dodging dragons, fighting basilisks, going back in time, freeing alleged mass murderers, and the like :)

Oh yes, a great number. You forgot Romilda Vane.
Right. His daily activities are so simple and definitely don't top forming a secret fight club... I mean, he has to do that repeately instead of just once so... the real challenge is the persistance XD
Look we all hate that bitch in the gif but she’s doing good work breaking up that couple from their make up session. Kissing in public is fine but full on make out sessions in the hallway is not the place.
Alexandra Elend Wolf wrote: "Oh yes, a great number. You forgot Romilda Vane."Of course, Romilda! Few things say untrustworthy more than attempting to drug someone to make them act against their will. It's like the Imperius Curse, really.

Harry Potter certainly lives a complicated life 😁

No one wants to see that. Either get a room or take it outside 😕
Sakshi wrote: "Umbridge's face though. she's really enjoying the authority"She's a former politician and bureaucrat. Power is currency and ultimate ambition of those professions. Achieving some measure of authority's probably a career goal. It makes sense that she's drinking it in. Also, she enjoys making others unhappy.

Specially children, cause she hates them. I can't imagine what she'd have been like as a kid herself
