There's a line in the MTMNBN that puts me in stiches every time I 
watch. Lockhart says it and I don't have the vaguest idea of 'what' 
he's saying, but it's a rapid-fire mouthful of words that is 
delivered beautifully. Something to do with Pixies. I don't even know 
if the line is in the book.

Speaking of books--since we are supposed to--my son and I are 
listening to GoF. I would never have believed it, but JKR wrote this 
line:

"So, been keeping busy, Barty?" said Bagman breezily.

I had to replay that line 3 or 4 times. I don't think I would have 
noticed it if I were reading it to myself. I don't know how Jim Dale 
kept from breaking up.

It's the weekend, we can use some fluff---does anyone else have an 
example of 'did she really write that?'--lines that sort of jump out 
and amuse us.
