Notes:
(1) Hermione loves elves but hates giants... a bit hypocritical if you ask me. Also ironic since nearly every elf hates her, but Grawp adores her.
(2) 'Harry raised his wand, looked directly at Umbridge, and imagined her being sacked.
"Expecto Patronum!"'
- Sure, that's a happy thought... though, if it were me, I'd add some sort of humiliation to make it extra happy.

(1) Well, I'm nearly finished with this. Now I've got to hunker down and write my review. I simultaneously hate writing reviews but love finishing reviews. It's like exercise, and Harry Potter reviews are especially stressful and demanding on account of the extra attention.
(2) Feel free to use my gifs. They're on my Imgur at: .

(1) "Cornelius, I am ready to fight your men � and win again!"
- Dumbledore giving orders to Fudge while still an enemy of the state is one of the series most boss moments.
(2) Phineas Nigellus: "You see, Dumbledore? ... Never try to understand the students. They hate it. They would much rather be tragically misunderstood..."
- A bit cynical, but he's not incorrect.

(1) Neville: "A brain attacked Ron but I think he’s all right � and Hermione’s unconscious, but we could feel a pulse �"
- You'd think all the time fighting with Hermione would have better prepared Ron to fight another brain.
(2) Voldemort calls Bellatrix "Bella"... wonder if he's a "Twilight" fan?
(3) It's easy to forget that people still think Sirius is a murderer.

(1) "[Harry] just wanted to get them all out of this alive, make sure that none of his friends paid a terrible price for his stupidity."
- That's certainly a good reason.
(2) Harry: "How come Voldemort wants it?"
Bellatrix: "You dare speak his name?"
Harry: "Yeah."
- Good answer, Harry. Very forthright.
(3) Ron: "Accio brain!"
- C'mon, Ron, you've already got brains.

Notes:
(1) Hermione treats Luna like McGonagall treats Trelawney. With open disdain at the mere mention of absurdities, but with affection and friendship when faced against a common enemy.
(2) Harry, Luna and Neville being the only ones who can hear voices behind the veiled archway should have been a light bulb moment, since they're also the only ones who can see thestrals.

(1) Ron: "What’ve you done with Umbridge?"
Harry: "She got carried away."
- Very James Bond of him.
- Even in life-threatening situations there's always time for jokes.
(2) Harry: "Ron’s the only one with a broomstick that isn’t being guarded by
a security troll, so �"
Ginny: "I’ve got a broom!"
- Ginny being invisible to Harry again. He'll change his tune next book.

(1) '"What did you call us?" shouted a wild-looking black centaur, whom Harry recognized as Bane.'
- Bane? I bet he was born in the darkness.
- In my head he's voiced by Tom Hardy.
(2) "Real tears [slid] down [Hermione's] face now. “We haven’t done anything to hurt you ... we just want to go back to school.�
- Of course she wants to go back to school, she's Hermione.

(1) Umbridge: "They were all bleating about silencing you ... but I was the one who actually did something about it ... Only you wriggled out of that one, didn’t you, Potter?"
- How very "If it wasn't for you meddling kids..."
(2) "Though Hermione was sobbing desperately into her hands, there was no trace of a tear."
- Great! Cries all the time, but now she's unable!

(1) "The confederation had met for the first time in France ... Goblins had tried to attend and been ousted ... And nobody from Liechtenstein had wanted to come."
- Typical Liechtenstein, always going their own way.
(2) Hermione: "This isn’t a criticism, Harry! But ... don’t you think you’ve got a bit of a—a—saving-people-thing?"
- Well, not the worst complex to have.

Notes:
(1) Ron has his Mirror of Erised moment from "The Philosopher's Stone," except it's not the World Cup he's hoisting in front of cheering supporters, it's the House Cup... close enough.
(2) "[Ron swept] his hair back quite unnecessarily so that it looked interestingly windswept."
- Ron does this in front of Hermione. James did exactly the same thing in front of Lilly.

Umbridge being sacked personally isn't enough for me, I don't think I've ever hated a fictional character as much as her.

She's one of the best villains in fiction, sort of the quintessential horrible teacher, which everyone can absolutely relate to.
I agree Umbridge was horrible. I like the book when after her capture and she went a little crazy after. That made my day!!

Honestly, I hate Umbridge more than Voldemort� -_-

Umbridge is the worst! I hate that woman so much. And I think that's an insteresting observation about Hermione. I guess she's afraid of giants because of what happened with the troll in HP1. Also they are bigger than her so their size might be intimidating while elves are small and look cute. Just a guess here. It shows that she's not perfect though and that makes her a little bit more human. ;-)
Hm I didn’t think Hermione hated giants, sounds more like she was scared silly of them

It's a much better version of her in the books than in the films. She's always frightened and timid in the books, so when she gets braver and more rebellious later on it actually means something. Apart from the first film, she's that way from the start.
Being traumatized by the troll is a good theory, I like it! It makes sense of why she's inclined to small magical creatures. I find being small and cute has a distinct advantage in real life for cats and dogs too :)
Annie wrote: "Hm I didn’t think Hermione hated giants, sounds more like she was scared silly of them"Fair enough... let's rephrase that as being pro-elf and anti-giant :)
I'm really enjoying rereading these vicariously through you; honestly I'd forgotten how funny they are haha

If anyone deserves humiliation, it's Umbridge. Honestly I'd leave it up to Fred and George

I just finished reading Harry Potter series for the 1st time. I just love all the characters and they are so beautifully written. My favorite is Fred and George!! Thank God for them because they had you laughing all the way thru!! Great books!!
