And we are back with brief overview of all things that jumped at me 
in a new angle after canon is complete :)

I do think that but for Umbridge and what occurred at the end of the 
book I am actually finding it quite enjoyable, but heee, too much 
Umbridge.

In Chapter 14 I am wondering if this quote by Ron is not meant to be 
another foreshadowing of the end of the book.

:The ministry suspects he's one of Dumbledore's lot so - I dunno - 
they lured him to the Ministry, and he wasn't trying to get through a 
door at all! Maybe they've just made something up to get him!" - p.288

And we get Percy's letter. Percy, Percy, Percy as I mentioned before 
I felt a little bit bad for you when I was rereading the discussion 
of your fight with Arthur, but boy I want to slap you for this 
letter. Not once but many times.

Who the heck you are to pass that judgment on your parents, eh?


And we have that famous quote by Sirius "Yes, but the world isn't 
split into good people and death eaters" - p.302.

Funnily, he is not saying that the world is not split into good 
people and evil people. I wonder.

Chapter 15, Hogwarts High Inquisitor, oh boy, can somebody squish 
this woman? Pretty please?

But I do find the inspections funny and yes, I still find Minerva not 
giving Harry the support IMO to be one of her lowest points in the 
series.

Chapter 16, In the Hog's head, you know it is funny that I always 
defend Hermione for her no nonsense and I know better than anybody 
else how to deal with people style of living? leadership? Style of 
something, let's just leave it that way.

But when I say that Hermione is my very least favorite member of the 
Trio, I am being very very honest.

I will never doubt that Hermione means well and often when she says 
she knows best, she indeed knows best.

I will never ever doubt that if Hermione is my friend, I will feel 
very confident that she will watch my back and will be very loyal.

But I am telling you I would be very wary of being friends with 
Hermione in the first place. I will never let my friend treat me the 
way Hermione treats Harry and Ron sometimes.

Yes, yes, I know she is a genuis, and she loves them and she helps 
them with their homework, but I swear if my friend would pull on me 
the crap that she pulls on Harry in this chapter, my friend would 
have to do some very heavy apologizing, and I still may tell this 
friend to go away.

I cannot stand being forced to do something that I do not want to do. 
And before you ask, of course I mean in the social setting in the 
circle of friends, I do get to do what I not always want at work 
gasilion times.

So I do not doubt Hermione's heart, I do not doubt that she knows how 
to handle enemies, it is her patronizing manner of dealing with the 
friends, the little things is what gets to me.

I can only take her as part of the trio, god forbid she would be the 
main character, I do not know for how long I would continue the books.

Oh and yes, I know Hermione's insistence forced Harry to realise that 
he likes teaching. I really do not care, it is the way she did is 
that make me want to slap her.

I think this is one of the things where I disagree with JKR, hehe.
