A few thoughts from this week’s episode.

1- Why is the train in such a hurry? It only runs twice a year. You have kids still getting on the bus and nope, it MUST leave on time.

2- I agree, the Sneak a Scope and Remembrall do seem more trouble than it’s worth. Sure they indicate trouble, but does not tell you what.

3- So, was Lupin actually asleep in the compartment or was he just pretending?

4- Potty and the Weasel, almost as good as Weasley is our king.

5- Seriously, shut up Neville.

6- And yes, Hagrid should not be a teacher. However, it seems teachers are hard to come by for Hogwarts in more than just the Defense Against the Dark Arts.

I’m listening to the audiobook so I didn’t even realize that the chapter was almost twice as long as usual. I really like the comparrison between the Sneakoscope and Remembrall. Missing the sortings is a convinient way to avoid a long poem, even though they’re always enjoyable. I’m so glad that I know more about Kettleburn now. If Lupin didn’t get Real Weirdo, it just wouldn’t have been fair!! He really stepped it up for his grand entrance.
