I was really dragging my heels to get to this chapter. But I’m here now.
The idea of the PSA is pretty funny.
My problem with the Fainting Fancies is that there’s no way to administer a counter candy to snap out of it.
I absolutely melted at the bowtruckles now that I’m reading it post-Fantastic Beasts. Newt’s bowtruckle was names Pickett!
I think Harry’s ‘difficult life’ retort cracked me up the most.
I loved Ernie in this chapter.
I still shudder at Umbridge’s detention. Martha’s impression of her is really good.
Hahaha, ‘shred the pitch!’. Good one, Martha. ‘Shred the sky!’. Good one, Alice.
