In one of the most suspenseful chapters of the series so far, Mr. Weasley’s life hangs in the balance as Harry struggles to convey just how serious the situation is (do they not realize how much a person bleeds when fangs that long pierce their side?). It’s a strange situation when Sirius behaves more maturely than Dumbledore, but that’s the world we’re living in these days. And finally, we get our first experience in St. Mungo’s, which proves to be more lighthearted than expected.

Thanks for looking into that instrument that Dumbledore uses, Martha! I was hoping to learn more about it even though I’m not too surprised that there isn’t much to go on. I loved that the speculation can still go on despite the fact that the books have concluded.
I would have loved to have heard Minerva’s excuse to Umbridge!
Man, I don’t remember any of the Kreacher stuff! I didn’t even think twice about why Kreacher didn’t answer Sirius’ summon.
Rowling said that the Weasleys was Harry’s safe haven so it was important for the family to stay intact. Ron also needed to keep his humour.
I enjoyed the theory about why St-Mungo’s isn’t in Diagon Alley.
The Welcome Witch doesn’tt riage everyone — only the people who don’t know where they’re going.
Here’s an exerpt from Quidditch Through Out the Ages regarding ‘Dangerous” Dai Llewellyn:
The Welsh Catapults, formed in 1402, wear vertically striped robes of light green and scarlet. Their distinguished club history includes eighteen League wins and a famous triumph in the European Cup final of 1956, when they defeated the Norwegian Karasjok Kites. The tragic demise of their most famous player, ‘Dangerous” Dai Llewellyn, who was eaten by a Chimaera while on holiday in Mykonos, Greece, resulted in a day of national mourning for all Welsh witches and wizards. The Dangerous Dai Commemorative Medal is now awarded at the end of each season to the League player who has taken the most exciting and foolhardy risks during a game.
