My add: (no literary order!)
1. Rita Skeea reappears and is forced to write Harry's story ("yeah. let her
bleed!"
2. What a ministry can do to schools! (I am studying to be a teacher---

3. The inquisiton sqad ("where are we ... mideavel age????")
4. The prophecy breaking ("perfect! its over and everybody's as dumb as

5. How fuge treats Harry at the hearing ("How obvious can you do it you
