McGongalls reactions to Umbridge were...classic. Quite a few made me chuckle...and OH! Oh, and the thing at the end of the DAILY PROFIT message, saying how Voldie really was back...

We believe that the demetors are currently taking direction from Lord - Thingy...


I cracked up when I read that. Wooo, good stuff. Nicely put.

Actually, I classed anything that the Weasleys did before they left as part of their 'grand exit', but it's no big deal :)...those big fireworks were hilarious! :lol:

I voted for the twins' exit from Hogwarts... Excellent... :lol:
I think every scene with the twins must be remembered...

Second place for the first appearence of Dumbledore at the Hearing:
"Witness for the defence, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore" said a quiet voice from behind Harry, who turned his head so fast he cricked his head.

Great entrance ! :D

I thought Umbridge vs. McGonagal were classics! They were so funny I had to read them over again.

For one thing, I enjoyed everything about the Weasley twins: the fireworks, escape, pushing Montague in the Vanishing Cabinet...

Sirius hoping Kreacher had died...

Pro. McGonagall's ignorance of and verbal exchanges with Umbridge...

I thought this was one of the most well written of the HP books, but like many people was disappointed in Sirius's death

Well, maybe it was because I read it way too fast to complety absorb the book, and because I was constantly expecting Dumbledore to lower his glasses and tell Harry everything, that I found some things you all find funny, not funny at all ! I think I really laughed only one time, when Sirius made his beautiful remark about Kreacher! Boy that was funny! :razz:

I'm hoping to get a few more laughs when I'll reread it!

I didn't think the Weasley's exit was funny, I thought it was brilliant!!!

The funniest bit for me would have to be McGonagall regretting she couldn't chase after Umbridge because Peeves had borrowed her walking stick!!!
A close runner up was McGonagall again with "It unscrews the other way"

Another was phinneas nigellus "I disagree with Dumbledore on many points, but you can't deny he's got style! :grin:

He he he, that was a great part too! I just really like the OWL part in general, especially the part when (I think) Susan Bones sets a flamingo loose and they have to stop testing for a while...

I just looooove McGonagall personality. She's so... hmm... how can i say it... you know what i mean.

I like very very much seeing her atacking that Umbridge hem, hem toadlike woman... She is so annoying (Umbridge, of course :D )

:lol: :lol: Now, the twins and their exit and their candies... and the Headless Hat!!!! :lol: I think the book has great suspense but also a number of funny scenes... :-)

:) ~Just wonder about ev'rything... It's good to your mind~ :)
