Lol, Harry Scarhead Potter!
Wormtail most definitely would have told the Death Eaters about the Padfoot nickname!
The owlery sounds so unsanitary! :O
Tim’s songs are great and they’re even better when they’re covered by other people.
The idea of Cho snagging one of Hermione’s hats as a last minute gift is so funny!
Your Hello Fresh segways segways are always enjoyable.
I was happy when I saw the Weird Sisters mention in this chapter!
Here’s what the HP Companion web mistress said about Sirius’ line about good and evil: “One of my favorite lines in the books comes in this chapter, when Sirius is discussing Dolores Umbridge and tells Harry that “the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters.” It’s a beautiful take on all the mysterious shades of grey that exist between good and evil, and the way Harry has watched them play out in people like Umbridge, Snape, Rita Skeeter, Cornelius Fudge, and Mundungus Fletcher. So I always remembered the line, and was hoping it would make it into the movie. Well make it into the movie it did – and the script writer demolished its meaning, by repurposing it to have Sirius describing not Umbridge, but Harry. Harry is a good person, and so the line didn’t make much sense. There are a few things that bother me about the films (though I do like them overall), but I think if I had to pick the worst, that line would be it. Blegh.”
I would have given Real Weirdo to Cho for having Harry’s back!
