BANGS as sleight of hand

It has struck me that for almost 
every unexpected plot twist, there 
is foreshadowing...and where there 
are these tidbits that hint at 
what comes later, there are almost 
always big noisy bangs that 
distract your attention.

JKR even mentions an instance in 
GoF of Harry's distraction and 
how he was distracted.

~~~~ end paragraph of Ch. 3:

He had cake, and Dudley had nothing 
but grapefruit; it was a bright 
summer's day, he would be leaving 
Privet Drive tomorrow, his scar 
felt perfectly normal again, and he 
was going to watch the Quidditch 
World Cup.  It was hard, just now, 
to feel worried about anything - 
even Lord Voldemort.

~~~~ GoF - "The Invitation"

Nice bit of magicianship. <g>  
Hide the sleight of hand by 
pointing it out.

Petra,
a
n  :)
