Again: no word of the plot twists in the next 2 books have been leaked to my ears so I don&#8217;t want to know what is in store, but I just have to give some romantic predictions (I love that suddenly &#8211; in this book &#8211; you can start to feel the possibility of romance blossoming &#8211; the kids are old enough, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Ron and Hermione are CLEARLY in love with each other.  I love love that!  Didn&#8217;t see it coming at all.  No wonder they are fighting like cats and dogs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Something tells me that Harry and Cho are NOT going to end up together.  Not sure why, just doesn&#8217;t seem like it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I love Hagrid as a courting half-giant, trying to grease his hair down<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Oh, and the Weasley twins are very quickly becoming my favorite peripheral characters.  I love them!!!  This small section made me laugh out loud on the bus this morning:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;So &#8230; you lot got dates for the ball yet?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nope,&#8221; said Ron.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, you&#8217;d better hurry up, mate, or all the good ones will be gone,&#8221; said Fred.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who&#8217;re you going with, then?&#8221; said Ron.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Angelina,&#8221; said Fred promptly, without a trace of embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221; said Ron, taken aback.  &#8220;You&#8217;ve already asked her?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good point,&#8221; said Fred.  He turned his head and called across the common room, &#8220;Oi!  Angelina!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Angelina, who had been chatting with Alicia Spinner near the fire, looked over at him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221; she called back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Want to come to the ball with me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Angelina gave Fred an appraising sort of look.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All right, then,&#8221; she said, and she turned back to Alicia and carried on chatting with a bit of a grin on her face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There you go,&#8221; said Fred to Harry and Ron, &#8220;piece of cake.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That just makes me laugh.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Oh, and I can&#8217;t stand Fleur Delacour and her half-veela French-accented haughtiness.  I don&#8217;t like her for laughing at Ron.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I haven&#8217;t figured out Viktor Krum yet, and what&#8217;s up with him.<\/p>\n<p>Loving every second of these books &#8211; this one in particular.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ac&#038;ref=tf_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=thesheivari-20&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=0439139600&#038;asins=0439139600&#038;linkId=DCX4W6HDNNG5GDOA&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I beg of you all &#8211; who have read the Harry Potter books &#8211; to not give anything away.
