I really do not have much that jumped at me as new in those chapters, 
but rather than skip further, I figured I post anyways, maybe 
somebody else will see more. :-)






"Yes, someone wanted him dead, someone had wanted him dead ever since 
he had been a year old... Lord Voldemort" - p.283


Alla:

Just wondering how the fact that Harry indeed supposed to get rid of 
Voldemort was supposed to be so surprising in the later books.

I mean, yes, I know, he did not know that he was a Chosen one yet, 
but it is not like he did not know that Voldemort is after him for 
some reason.

I am sure I asked this in the past, but I am still not sure sometimes.


"Well, of course I knew you hadn't entered yourself," she said when 
he'd finished telling her about the scene in the chamber off the 
Hall. The look on your face when Dumbledore read out your name" - 
p.289


Alla:

Okay, Hermione is very intelligent, we all know that, but sometimes I 
sincerely doubt that fourteen year old can read people so well. Her 
reading of Cho comes to mind. Or maybe she is indeed that sensible as 
well. 


"Snape's eyes met Harry's, and Harry knew what was coming. Snape was 
going to poison him"  - p.301


Alla:

Heeee.


"The prospect of talking face-to-face with Sirius was all that 
sustained Harry over the next fortnight, the only bright spot on the 
horizon that had never looked darker" - p.313

Alla:

Love how she made their relationship totally believable to me and 
therefore so totally sad and believable how Harry grieved in OOP.
Sob.


"The article that had appeared ten days ago, and Harry still got a 
sick, burning feeling of shame in his stomach every time he thought 
about it. Rita Skeeter had reported him saying an awful lot of things 
that he could not remember ever saying in his life" - p.314


Alla:

Harry, love him as I am, makes plenty of mistakes over the period of 
seven books and he lies often as well (HBP good example), but it is 
quotes like this that make me believe that he is a good kid, mistakes 
and all.

He is ashamed of lies that Rita printed about him. I like that :)
