DISCUSSION - PoA Ch 15: The Quidditch Final

[Simon]

No: HPFGUIDX 21149

Hello all,

The chapter summary for this week is going to be fairly brief, but do not
worry as the Quidditch summary is hot on its heels and hopefully is fairly
comprehensive.


Scene 1:
Ron and Harry find out that Buckbeak is up for the chop.
Hermione breaks down and hugs Ron.

Scene 2:
Malfoy insults Hagrid, Hermione slaps him and then she misses a lesson.
Hermione gets upset in Divination and storms out.

Scene 3:
Easter Holidays - not very relaxing.

Scene 4:
Night before the match.

Scene 5:
Harry has a dream about Quidditch and Dragons.
Then he sees Crookshanks with the 'Grim'.

Scene 6:
The game. Lots of foul play by the Slytherins and then Harry pulls of a
spectacular move to win the game.


Questions and discussion points:
1) Hermione hugs Ron. Love interest or a friend apologising? (Especially
relevant as we seem to be having a shipper conference at the moment – I
think calling it a war would be going too far)
2) Hermione stands up to Malfoy over his comments about Hagrid. A
foreshadowing of the SPEW events in GoF? An indicator of why she is in
Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw?
3) Has Hermione got the right idea about Divination? Or is it actually
useful for something? If so what and who will be the one to show its uses?
4) Harry has a dream about being chased by a dragon. In GoF Harry flies a
broom around a dragon. This means he is a Seer. Discuss.
5) Ron predicts that he will get an owl since Scabbers is no longer around.
This means he is a Seer. Discuss.


Discussion of the match itself will be added into the Quidditch discussion.
