Yes! Me too! I love the hint about the wizarding
government, and am fascinated by the dream
description. St. Mungo's anyone?

Well, actually I did expect something of that sort.

Inventing a new house elf seems to me needlessy
complicated, when Winky is set up so perfectly for the
job. I found it interesting that she was never
reconciled in GoF. She's brought to the final scene,
and then she just disappears, without any indication
of her reaction. So, I concluded her reaction can't be
good for Harry. I'm delighted to see my suspicions
confirmed in this summary. I quite like Winky as a
character, though I refuse to ship her with Crouch
Sr.!

Now if Winky and Amos Diggory were to start blaming
Harry for things... ouch! 

What really surprised me was the description of the
DADA professor as someone with a personality like
poisoned honey. That can't refer to her being
ultimately good or bad, I think, since it's not like
the summary is going to give away the plot. She must
have that personality the moment she shows up. So what
exactly does that mean? 

Poisoned honey is just not a positive descriptor. Will
we have a teacher who doesn't like Harry? 

It's Mrs. Lestrange, I tell you!

Well, it can't be, since that plot twist of the DE in
disguise was already used in the previous book. I'm
still plugging for Arabella Figg, but I admit the
descriptor doesn't match the cat-lady of PS/SS. But we
all know that was an act, so does it matter?

Well, for me there was Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,
when I was younger, but I'd really rather not talk
about that. ;-)
