GoF 24

Dark Horizons interviews Ralph Fiennes:
Fiennes read the novel Goblet of Fire when cast in the film version, but laughingly concedes "I was only interested in my scene, and I had to go through thousands and thousands of other scenes which I did, dutifully, until I got to my scene and I read it many, many, many, many, many times and that was my research."

Me too, Ralph. Meeee toooooo.


Oh, I almost forgot. sistermagpie provided a far superior analysis of Ron's behavior at the Yule Ball to my Chapter 23. (I never plan to link to her as much as I do; I've rarely found myself agreeing with a person so often and so strongly!)


GoF 24: Rita Skeeter's Scoop

[Rita's article:] [Hagrid] admitted breeding creatures he has dubbed 'Blast-Ended Skrewts', highly dangerous crosses between manticores and fire crabs. The creation of new breeds of magical creature is, of course, an activity usually closely observed by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. (381)

Aha! I'd forgotten what the Skrewts really were. As is frequently the case in this chapter, I find myself resistant to siding with Hagrid in this matter.

( Tell me, have you ever known what it is to be an orphan? )

Well, that all felt a bit pointless. But be sure to tune in next time for your favorite chapter and mine: PAJAMA PARTY! Er, "The Egg and the Eye".
