Notes:
(1) "Squeezing the bubotubers was disgusting, but oddly satisfying.
As each swelling was popped, a large amount of thick yellowish-green
liquid burst forth."
- Ironically, or fittingly, this is use to cure acne.
(2) "Professor Trelawney kept predicting Harry’s death, which he found
extremely annoying."
- To be fair, he very often does nearly die.

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 ŷ 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.'

Middle schoolers don’t mind gross stuff 😂 It mimics real life, sort of how honey will take away the sting from bee bites. I think it’s even got an official scientific name lol

Interesting how nature works. Sort of the same thing with poisonous snakes, where you need the venom to make the antivenom. Gross or not, I just get a kick out of students essentially popping zits for an entire class 😁
1 You shouldn't squeeze acne. It causes trauma to the skin and can also leave scarring. But it's still super satisfying to squeeze pimples, zits or other puss filled stuff. Obsessed with watching videos of it xD

Half because of an aversion to the content, and half because I'm afraid I'll get hooked and spend all day watching them. 😄

Like you know the feeling when you pop a pimple on yourself, one of those really ripe bastards and the pressure inside them is so big it hurts and when they pop the relief is so amazing. Those more insane ones with an unlimited amount of goop is my favourites to watch

My personal stance toward popping zits has been largely preemptive. If I know something's definitely going to blow, then it's best to do it in a controlled manner, and as a last resort. You know, like detonating a bomb in the ocean. Luckily, it's not been an issue for me for a long while 😁

Like you know the feeling when you pop a pimpl..."Lucky you. I still get those "bombs" way too often, lol. I try not to pop them because I know I'm gonna regret it afterwards but sometimes I just want to get that mother of a stopsign away from my face immediately.

Acne may be a thing of the past for me, but picking at scabs is a similar bad habit I regrettably still indulge in :)
So... Trelawney was right all this time, wasn't she?
