I'm liking Percy less and less as the series goes on.  We don't need 
another spy in the Ministry, we have so many already!  I think we're 
seeing what Ron was talking about in the last couple of books.  Ron 
felt that Percy would betray his family if it got Percy a little 
more power.  I think that showed in OoP.  Percy was a complete @ss 
in this book.  He didn't even visit his father in the hospital!  Mr. 
W was close to death, and Percy didn't even send a letter.  He sent 
his X-mas presents back.  And his letter to Ron?  He acts like he 
doesn't have two older brother!  He tells Ron to look to him as an 
example, but what about Bill and Charley?  Mrs. W tells us that Ron 
is the fourth prefect in the family, which means that Bill and 
Charley were both prefects.  But Percey doesn't even mention them, 
he just tells Ron he was afraid that Ron was going to follow in the 
twins' footsteps.  And that he's happy now that it looks like Ron is 
following in his footsteps!  What a jerk!  I hope his girlfriend, 
Penelope, dumps him ASAP.  

I personlly think that there's a chance that Percy could become a 
death eater.  He seems to be willing to do anything for power, which 
is a characteristic of Slytherins.  He obviously cares more about 
himself than his family.  Now he's the personal assistant to the 
Fudge.  Fudge places a very large importance on blood, and looks 
down on "half-breeds", muggle-born parents, etc.  Come on, he feels 
that Mr. W lacks "wizarding pride."  Now that Percy is under Fudge's 
influence, will these views rub off on him?  And Percy is a pure-
blood.  Hmm...

But, look Ginny!  Wow!  I think she's really come into her own in 
this book.  We find out that she's been breaking into the family 
shed and "borrowing" her brother's broomsticks.  And no one know 
about it until Hermione tells them!  She completely takes advantage 
of the fact that everyone sees her as this innocent little girl.  
She lied point blank to her mother about dung-bombs in Siruis' 
house.  (She blamed it on Crookshanks.)  And her hands are filthy!  
Then she completely makes up a story about the corridor to 
Umbridge's office, and no-one doubts her story!  I love it!  Even 
the twins don't know what she's been up to.  I see one great sneak 
in the making.  Talk about someone with the makings of an Auror!  

The twins: Wow.  I love them!  And I love the fact that Flitwick 
left a little bit of their swamp just because it was "a good bit of 
magic."  And that we finally get to see their view on education: 
they'll study stuff they think is useful, but anything else...  
Absolutely great.  I hope we get to see more of them even though 
they graduated!  And I loved the fact that Peeves gave them a salute 
when they left.  And that no teacher tried to counteract their 
practical jokes while Umbridge was there.  These two are serious 
geniuses and creative inventors.  Love it.

Bill: Giving private lessons to Fleur to practice her "eenglish".  
Oh, yeah.  I wonder what Ron would do if Bill brought Fleur over for 
dinner to meet the family.  Oh, the potential of this match-up!
