Notes:
(1) Viktor Krum persistently stalking Hermione in the library is at the same time endearing and creepy.
(2) Shame the whole "Blast-Ended Skrewts" subplot was cut from the film. I would have liked to see what "the most repulsive things Harry had ever seen" looked like.
(3) Apparently, one elf's servile emancipation is another elf's grievous shame.

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 카지노싸이트 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.'

1 Back in the days I saw Krum's "stalking" her endearing, but now, as you say, it's kinda creepy too (especially considering she is 14 and he's 18). 3 we all know Dobby is an odd one and we love him for that
16 y.o. me thought Viktor was her book boyfriend and now that library situation is giving me "YOU" by Caroline Kepnes vibes😂

Yes, absolutely agree about Krum. I hadn't even considered the age difference!! As for Dobby, you're right on the money there 😁👍
Mrinmayi wrote: "16 y.o. me thought Viktor was her book boyfriend and now that library situation is giving me "YOU" by Caroline Kepnes vibes😂"Yes, it's very interesting how perspectives can change over time! I too find Viktor kind of a creepy weirdo now, when I hadn't before. This reread's got me viewing the books through a whole new lens :)
TMR wrote: "Wowza..😂😂"I like how in the gif, Harry literally falls through the floor. They very obviously CGI'd him on Fred and George's shoulders so they wouldn't have to carry him take after take. But the CGI couldn't hide that he fell further than he should have! 😁👍
Yasss to the skrewts...I could never quite picture them when i was reading 😅
Aoife - Bookish_Babbling wrote: "Yasss to the skrewts...I could never quite picture them when i was reading 😅"Exactly! Hopefully the new illustrated editions will provide some sort of definitive picture of them.
Oooh I hadn't thought about that 🤞🤞🤞Even more reason to start collecting them 😇
Lol I peeked inside the illustrated edition in the bookstore once. Don't remember if the skrewts was in it... all I took away from it was that Krum looked like a vampire on drugs xD

Any excuse for more Harry Potter is always welcome :)
Maja Ingrid wrote: "Lol I peeked inside the illustrated edition in the bookstore once.

Book Krum does not look like film Krum at all :)
