Broomsticks And Owls

I love the character of Firenze, he is very mysterious and very different to all the other centaurs in the forest. I'm glad he came back in the 5th book and we got to learn that he IS different from the other centaurs in wanting to change the future and not believing so much in destiny.

I agree that he's mysterious, but I'm not as fascinated as you are. I was too sorry for poor Trelawney to really enjoy in his classes but I kind of felt sorry for him too. Other centaurs are really brutal

Somehow I'm not really fascinated by him. He should be interesting as an centaur, but I see him almost in the same way as Hermione does.

I see him as a person with "special talents"...as a current student of astronomy (not astrology) I see a lot of the thinks that Firenze talks about in his astrologic sense and I want to know more about his knowledge of telling the future...he has more to bring to the story and I think he knows more than he is telling but isn't going to tell because of the way humans have treated him

i think that the centaurs have a big role to play in future books especially firenze! Do u reckon they will join Dumbledore?

I'm not sure if they will join dumbledore! but i agree with that their roles will become more expanded in the next two books! which is good, I love firenze!

I am almost positive that near the end, ALL of the centaurs will join dumbledore. One of the big themes of this book is staying together. The concept with inter-house unity was stressed in the 5th book, and it is clear that they will have to band together to defeat Voldemort. So, even if the centaurs don't like helping humans, they will join them in the end.

I totally agree, Trelawney was better, but only because its really funny to read what Ron & Harry say when they`re in class....

yeah i agree! i will kinda miss those conversations if harry and ron drop divination

by **hagrid_fang** » Wednesday 18 February 2004 1:10:41pm

maybe they will stay tho' as firenze is also teaching them! they only wanted to drop because they didn't like trelawny!

by **Jotomicron** » Wednesday 18 February 2004 7:29:47pm

Nah... I think they wouldn't want to "divinate" (what's the correct verb to write here?) more... Just drinking tea and droping the leaves into the bin basket, even if they say: "Die Harry (or Ron)! Die..."

by **Ferrus** » Wednesday 18 February 2004 7:37:14pm

totally right Joto!

Anyway, what use is divination if your an Auror?
BTW what career did Ron say he would be going for??

by **hagrid_fang** » Wednesday 18 February 2004 7:39:30pm

i don't really think that ron came up with anything or did he? i can't remember!! *goes to grab copy of OotP*
