Chapter 13 : Goblet of Fire, Mad-Eye Moody
The students get their schedules in the morning. Ron and Harry have Herbology
and Care of Magical Creatures in the morning and Divination in the afternoon.
Hermione has decided to give up her hunger strike for elf rights in favor of
other methods to be named later. Harry is worried because he has not heard from
Sirius. The students extract Bubotuber pus in Herbology (later sent to Hermione
in a nasty letter causing her to go to the hospital wing). In CMC Hagrid
introduces them to the Blast-Ended Skrewts, another kind of dangerous creature.
Hermione does not have Divination but heads for the library. Professor
Trelawney greets Harry with more gloomy predictions and even asks him if he was
born in midwinter (someone suggested on this list that she was confusing him
with LV because of the Horcrux). After class, Malfoy has a copy of the Daily
Prophet with a Skeeter article criticizing Arnold (i.e. Arthur) Weasley. He and
the boys get into an argument and Malfoy tries to curse Harry from behind.
Mad-Eye catches him and turns him into a white ferret. He taunts Draco while
bouncing him up and down on the floor. McGonagall stops Mad-Eye and Mad-Eye
takes Draco to Snape (with whom he wants to have a chat). At dinner, Hermione
says she is going back to the library and Fred and George gleefully tell Ron and
Harry how wonderful Mad-Eye is as a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Questions:
1. Do you think JKR was poking fun through Hermione at people who rush to the
defense of those they consider victims without considering the feelings of the
so-called victims or was she trying to make a point about treating everyone
fairly?
2. Crouch, Jr. was behaving in a way that would convince the faculty and DD
that he was Mad-Eye., so did he attack Draco because it was something Mad-Eye
would do or was he angry at the Malfoys in general?
3. Why did Draco become a ferret? Would that be his Animagus form or did
Mad-Eye make that choice?
4. What do you think really happened at Mad-Eye's house with the Muggle
policemen that required modification of their memories? Is Arthur authorized to
do that?
5. Did you have any ideas about what Hermione was doing in the library?
