I couldn't find whether or not this had been discussed but did 
anyone else notice an abrupt change in Hermione's presents to 
Harry?  

Book 1:  Chocolate Frogs  (yummy - and he collects the cards)
Book 2:  Luxury Eagle Feather Quill (practical, but with a pleasing 
appearance)
Book 3:  Birthday - Broomstick Servicing Kit (woah!), Christmas - 
don't find out (fiasco with a Firebolt)
Book 4:  Birthday - A cake (perfect for our starving Harry) 
Christmas - Quidditch Teams of Britian and Ireland (a book but at 
least its about Quidditch)
Book 5:  Birthday - Honeydukes Chocolates  

and here is the drumroll....

Christmas is, of course, the ever-so-annoying homework planner.


It seems to me as though this is the perfect kind of present someone 
*thought* Hermione would give.  It is very practical and has to do 
with school, but it doesn't match up with her previous gifts.  Those 
gifts were all personal and enjoyable on some level, but a nagging 
homework planner?  It doesn't fit....

I have seen the stuff on Hermione being controlled by the imperious 
curse, but I just don't want to buy it.  It seems to...easy.  Can 
anyone offer an alternate explanation?
