This week's contest was to identify who spoke the various Famous Last
Lines submitted by our resident genius, CMC. (How about that
Superbureaucraticmagicaladministration filk!!!!)
No one identified all 42 lines correctly, however Susan Hall and
Dianne Singson each got 41 right. [You will all be glad to hear that
I have checked with the staff at the Flying Ford Clinic for Severe
Harry Potter Obsession, and the doctors say both Susan and Dianne are
doing "as well as can be expected."]
Several other people got 37 or more lines correct. They are Devika,
Elena, wren and Amy Z, all of whom might want to consider checking
into the Flying Ford Clinic as well. Thanks to all the participants,
and stay tuned for the next contest!
Here are the answers, along with some comments from the participants:
"Just you and me, Harry Potter ... you and me..." Tom Riddle, CoS,
Chapter 17
"Take my body back to my parents
" Cedric Diggory, GoF, Chapter 34
"He'll lend you one." Gilderoy Lockhart, CoS, Chapter 18
"See you, Harry" Ron Weasley, GoF, Chapter 37
"He is mine!" Voldemort, GoF, Chapter 34
[Susan Hall noted that: "he" is Harry, again. Note Voldemort's
typical evil overlord rashness when confronted with arch rival.
"First one to kill him gets 200 bonus points and a free excuse
voucher for the next 20 applications of the Cruciatus curse" would
have been more prudent. As he doubtless reflected a few minutes
later.]
"Thanks for the socks, Harry Potter!" Dobby, GoF, Chapter 28
"
tell him what Peeves was up to." Filch, GoF, Chapter 25
"You're going to have to fight the Cruciatus Curse!" Neville
Longbottom, GoF, Chapter 21
"We will return, if you please, to history, to solid, believable,
verifiable fact!" Prof. Binns, CoS, Chapter 9
"They're supposed to be really hard to catch!" Lavender Brown, GoF,
Chapter 24
"There should have been a presentation ceremony, but under the
circumstances
." Cornelius Fudge, GoF, Chapter 36
[Susan Hall noted that: For once one has to agree; a presentation
ceremony would have been tacky. And pretty difficult to arrange
given that, in addition to the murder of the joint winner, one of the
judges has also been murdered and another two have fled the country.]
"I am." Snape, GoF, Chapter 36
"Severus Snape is a Death Eater!" Karkaroff, GoF, Chapter 30
"Keep in touch, Harry" Molly Weasley, GoF, Chapter 37
"Harry," Fred Weasley, GoF, Chapter 37
"Well, second Diggory was the f-" - Draco Malfoy, GoF, Chapter 37
[Susan Hall noted that: given that he is about to confront a
Triwizard Champion who has come off best in direct confrontation with
Voldemort on four previous occasions one has to wonder whether Lucius
Malfoy had just sent his son a Misplaced Optimism in the
Invincibility of Our Dark Master Charm by express owl.]
"Remember Cedric Diggory" Dumbledore, GoF, Chapter 37
"Cedric Diggory" Cho Chang, GoF, Chapter 22
[Note from Joywitch: This one was VERY hard; only Dianne and Susan
managed to find it. Many people noticed that these are the last
words of the entire school, at the end of the year dinner, but we
were looking for the last words of *individual* characters.]
"Bye, Harry" Hermione, GoF, Chapter 37
"Very very well," Madam Pomfrey, GoF, Chapter 36
"He can still be gamekeeper, can't he?" Parvati Patil, GoF, Chapter
24
"But I must do what I can, you do understand, don't you?" Sirius
Black, GoF, Chapter 36
"Goodbye, then." Vernon Dudley, GoF, Chapter 4
"Leave it to me," Bill Weasley, GoF, Chapter 36
[Susan Hall noted that: "it" being breaking the news to his father
that the Minister of Magic is a spineless appeaser with the ability
to face facts of an ostrich in denial. Somehow one suspects Arthur
Weasley will not find this news surprising.]
"No," Dudley Dursley, PoA, Chapter 2
[Note from Joywitch: This one was also very hard, and I can't
imagine how Dianne actually found it. No one else did.]
"
.not that it needs it
.." Rita Skeeter, GoF, Chapter 24
"Headmaster, there is no need to see me to the gate, I can manage
."
Remus Lupin, PoA, Chapter 22
"You fight him, boy
" Frank Bryce, GoF, Chapter 34
No my Lord
.never, my Lord" Wormtail, GoF, Chapter 33
"Buy Ron some different robes and say they're from you." Harry
Potter, GoF, Chapter 37
"...I don't like them much, they always chase me when I get too
close." Myrtle, GoF, Chapter 26
"AARGH!" Quirrell, SS, Chapter 17
"These deaths were not the random work of a lunatic!" Minerva
McGonagall, GoF Chapter 36
"I was jokin' jokin'!" Rubeus Hagrid, GoF, Chapter 37
"I'd better hurry you have a good term, boys!" Arthur Weasley,
GoF, Chapter 11
[Elena noted that this is actually Arthur Weasley's SECOND to last
line. He subsequently says, "Molly, are you going to be all right
taking the kids to King's Cross?"]
"Take them away, and may they rot there!" Barty Crouch, Sr., GoF,
Chapter 30
"Three two one" Ludo Bagman, GoF, Chapter 31
"If you leave now, you may lose the opportunity to see further than
you have ever-" Professor Trelawney, GoF, Chapter 29
"I still can't work out how you two got the best-looking girls this
year." Dean Thomas, GoF, Chapter 23
"He is returned to power and I will be honored by him beyond the
dreams of wizards." Barty Crouch, Jr., GoF, Chapter 35
"I'm about to become the youngest ever Minister of Magic, I am."
Stan Shunpike, GoF, Chapter 9
"...how you managed to return to us...." Lucius Malfoy, GoF,
Chapter 33
