Alla:

I seem to remember Hermione on quite a few occasions, quotes are given if needed letting Harry and Ron have it for breaking the rules that exist, I am not sure if she ever was silent about the rule on any other occasion (maybe I just do not remember of course) in order to be a good sport. Oh she will break the rules with them all right, but when she does so, she seems to be fully aware that this is what she is doing.

And I would love to know if anybody ever had been to the library that prohibits to taking the books outside. I would still think such a rule to be absurd, but maybe at least it is RL absurd. I certainly had been to the libraries that had "reading rooms", where people were supposed to read rare books, but those were the books which people could not SIGN OUT. I had never in my life had been to the library which said - oh yeah, you could sign the book out but don't you dare read it outside. It seems to me that if you are allowed to take the book with you, you are allowed to take it anywhere you wish to. And eleven year old children can manage the books quite well, they are not one year old children and not even five year old children, right?

Personally I still cannot get over restricted section books being taken outside and Quidditch over the ages  supposedly not?

JMO,
