Just now realizing that it seemed super unethical for McGonagall to "buy" Harry the Nimbus 2000. She practically bended the rules already to let him play tapos bibilhan niya pa yung isang studyante niya ng top broom at the time. Anyway

Wait lang. If the Marauder's Map shows Scabbers as his real self--Peter Pettigrew--then how come Fred and George never wondered why Ron (in the map) always hung out with another unknown person named Peter? Although tbf Hogwarts IS a pretty big place....still.....

Still REALLY stupid that they let Harry compete in the Triwizard Tournament. Only explanation fr crouch is yun daw sabi ng rules, but also in the rules: age restriction & that only 3 champions, 1 (only) from each school will be allowed to compete. Sobrang selective implementation

Hay nako for all its brilliance, why couldn't the Marauder's Map just label Barty Crouch as "Bartemius Crouch JUNIOR" and not just "Bartemius Crouch" when he was sneaking around in Snape's office ugh

"Muttering and gesticulating, Mr. Crouch appeared to be talking to someone that he alone could see...Mr. Crouch's eyes were bulging. He stood staring at the tree, muttering soundlessly at it..."

Ughhh huhu still one of the darkest & most unnerving chapters of the whole series :(

"Yes, they were talking about Neville's parents...They are insane. They are both in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. I believe Neville visits them, with his grandmother, during the holidays. They do not recognize him."

Gago ang sakit sakit

Barty Crouch Jr. was clearing the path for Harry. Cedric is the true Triwizard Champion :(

"The air was suddenly full of the swishing ofcloaks. Between graves, behind the yew tree, in every shadowy space, wizards were Apparating. All of them were hooded and masked."

ganda ng resurrection scene ni Voldie bakit hindi na execute ng maayos sa movie huhu

"Harry..." whispered the figure of Cedric, "take my body back, will you? Take my body back to my parents..."

I was today years old when I finally realized how Harry's blood in Voldemort kept Harry alive hahahaha HASSLE

"No spell can reawaken the dead," said Dumbledore heavily.

Huhu is it just me or does rowling's personal life echo so heavily in the series

"Mrs. Weasley set the potion down on the bedside cabinet, bent down, and put her arms around Harry. He had no memory of ever being hugged like this, as though by a mother."

M A S A K I T OKAY????? :(((((

"Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory."

Starting the most exciting book of the Potter series again aaaa!!! Book 5!!!! (In retrospect, skipping book 1 and 2 was the best decision I made in rereading the series)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: how harry unlearns his bratiness and pagiging pa-hero

"Lord Voldemort... He's back," said Harry heavily.

"...back?" whispered Petunia.

She was looking at Harry as she had never looked at him before. And all of a sudden, for the very first time in his life, Harry fuly appreciated that Aunt Petunia was his mother's sister.

"...[I'm] speaking as someone who has Harry's best interests at heart--"

"He's not your son," said Sirius quietly.

"He's as good as," said Mrs. Weasley fiercely. "Who else has he got?"

"He's got me!" shouted Sirius.

Xx

HUHU masakit ulit

It still annoys me that Harry's first reaction to Ron's becoming a prefect was jealousy. Ron gets one single moment of glory and harry can't even be happy for his best friend ugh

In the Woes of Mrs. Weasley, it's revealed that Mrs. Weasley's boggart is her family sprawled on the floor, bloody and dead, and it's one of the most painf chapters of the HP series huhu

"Dobby wishes he could help Harry Potter, for Harry Potter set Dobby free and Dobby is much, much happier now."

Precious huhuhu at least naging masaya siya

1/x probably my longest succession of tweets but shet this scene is one of the most heart-wrenching in the book (and is absent in the movies):

"Haven't you told your friends about your parents, Neville?"

Neville took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling and shook his head.

2/x

"Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of!" said Mrs. Longbottom angrily. "You should be proud, Neville, proud! They didn't give their health and their sanity so their only son would be ashamed of them, you know!"

"I'm not ashamed," said Neville.

3/x

"Well, you've got a funny way of showing it!" said Mrs. Longbottom. "My son and his wife," she said, turning haughtily to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, "were tortured into insanity by You-Know-Who's followers..."

4/x

"...They were Aurors, you know, and very well respected within the wizarding community. Highly gifted, the pair of them. I--yes, Alice dear, what is it?"

Neville's mother had come edging down the ward in her nightdress...

5/x

Her face was thin and worn now, her eyes seemed overlarge and her hair, which had turned white, was wispy and dead-looking. She did not seem to want to speak, or perharps she was not able to, but she made timid motions towards Neville, holding something in her hand.

6/x

“Again?” said Mrs. Longbottom, sounding slightly weary. “Very well, Alice dear, very well—Neville, take it, whatever it is.” But Neville had already stretched out his hand, into which his mother dropped an empty Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum wrapper….

7/7

“Well, we’d better get back,” sighed Mrs. Longbottom. “Neville, put that wrapper in the bin, she must have given you enough of them to paper your bedroom by now.”

But as they left, Harry was sure he saw Neville slip the sweet wrapper into his pocket.

"They won't print a story that shows Harry in a good light. Nobody wants to read it... People just don't want to believe that You-Know-Who's back."

"So the Daily Prophet exists to tell people what they want to hear, does it?" said Hermione scathingly.

Kkkk how relevant

"Give her hell from us, Peeves."

And Peeves, who had never taken an order from a student before, swept his hat from his head and sprang to a salute as Fred and George wheeled about to tumultuous applause from and sped out of the front doors into the glorious sunset.

Iconic.

If Harry listened to the bajillion people who tried to warn him off, Sirius wouldn't have died

"You... this isn't a criticism, Harry! But you do...sort of...I mean--don't you think you've got a bit of a--a--saving-people thing!" she said.

Hahahaha Hermione in the house, the only one that made any sense at all ugh i really have so much hate for harry in this book!!!

"It seemed to take Sirius an age to fall: his body curved in a graceful arc as he sank backwards through the ragged veil hanging from the arch."

Hay nako Sirius' death will always be painful because he died still in hiding and he never really truly got to be free again :((

Also do we know where his soul went after? Did it get stuck in the veil too like how souls are sucked by dementors?

I wish they showed more of Narcissa Malfoy's scenes in the movies. I love the chapter where she begs Snape to take care of Draco. Huhuhu it gives much depth to her character so she's not just the sneering blonde lady thats always just beside lucius

Theres a moment in book 6 that showed Petunia knew and kept in mind Harry's birthday. Two possible reasons for this: either she was looking forward to the day when she would finally kick him out of the house, or she remembered for his protection...or both. I think its the latter.

"Arthur is that you?"

"Yes," came Mr. Weasley's weary voice. "But I would say that even if I were a Death Eater, dear. Ask the question!"

"Oh, honestly..."

"Molly!"

"All right, all right... What is your dearest ambition?"

"To find out how airplanes stay up."

HAHAHA CUTIE

"He's sensitive, people bully him too, and he feels lonely and hasn't got anybody to talk to, and he's not afraid to show his feelings and cry!"

+Draco crying scene. Kawawa. He must have been in a pretty bad place talaga if he resorted to confiding to the ghost of a muggle born
