This was the first tension break in the book for me. It felt like it  
had been building and building since page 1 and was at bursting 
point. When I read that quote I actually laughed, then gasped. It 
wasn't exactly funny, just very surreal. 

My biggest 'Oh my gosh' moment was definatley Harry's first detention 
with Umbridge and that quill. It sent shiver down my spine. She is 
such a well drawn character, right down to the fluffy cardigan and 
girlish voice. I have known teachers just like her, just as brutal 
and incompetent (although obviously not at violent!).
