Ha, is that humour amongst all the #family drama? Lupin behaving like a petulant child didn't really work for me. Was this a way to show Harry once again, to be voice of reason. That his own tragic family circumstances dictates how others can live theirs? Yeh I didn't like this whole scene. But Kreacher slamming Mundungdus with a pan? Yeah that I can live with.

#deception is the name of the game. Hermione helping Ron, the trio helping Hagrid, Snape inadvertently helping Harry, suggested by the text, but I am sure given a choice between Slughorn's party and Snape's Flobberworms, I know which one I would pick. I love this (unrelated) image of Hermione. A powerful witch, surrounded by meaningful icons, she appears focussed and commanding.

Passivity. Readers do not like inactive heroes. They want action, proactive, choices. A book where they dither is a slow read. The polyjuice potion seemed to take sooo long to prepare... And don't even start me on Dumbledore's inexplicable silence. Yes yes, the books would be way shorter if he solved all Harry's problems. But still...

Oh Gilderoy, always so ready to say something. Unfortunately the sentiment of the words are not so excellent.

"Reaching Snape, she crouched down, pulled out her wand and whispered a few, well chosen words. Bright blue flames shot from her wand on to the hem of Snape's robes." p. 140. Once Hermione is on side, she acts on her instincts to protect her friends. #goals #chaptereleven
