perfect timing! it’s house cleaning day and now i have 5 hours of veggie to fill that time

Dani Phantom

when it comes to hermione saying “you should’ve told her i was ugly” i think she was trying to say “tell her you’re not attracted to me” but was dumbing it down for harry. i’ve always also thought cho was a “popular girl” and maybe SHE personally isn’t superficial, but her friends seem to be, so hermione is just lumping that stereotype together. (not saying hermione is right, just my take on it)

Jake M

I love 5 hours of waffle, almost as good as 5 hours of pancake! Are they vegan? 😝

Grace

New hat, who's this?

Noni

My lunch is cooking. Perfect time for me to sit and watch for a while. Veggie, I recently found a YouTuber who’s just finished watching the Harry Potter movies and as it’s so hard to find a really good reaction to them these days would you mind if I put the channel details here for those who’d like to watch? She’s also talked about reading the books so would you be happy for me to post your details on her channel to come see his you do it?

John Phillips

Summerby was already close to catching the snitch and it didn't look like Gryffindor had a chance to catch up in points, so it makes sense to me why Ginny caught the snitch earlier. If she had waited much longer then Summerby would've caught the snitch and Gryffindor's loss would've been even more disastrous.

Bennet

Uhm, so Voldys pupils are vertical like a Snake I think Not horizontal like a goat even tho he probably is the goat in some way xD

Garry (Not Jerry)

“Not reading the room” and “not saying it the right way” - what you are describing is exactly what “tactless” means.

Gugurupurasu Daikirai

Ginny catching the snitch at least made more sense than Krum doing it because the point totals can matter in the tiebreakers in the Hogwarts Cup. Doing it in a championship game like Krum did was truly baffling though, and even Krum knew Gryffindor had no chance I don't think Hermione knew Luna was the daughter of the man behind the Quibbler before they were in the carriage together because she was rude about the Quibbler and went quiet after Luna was offended.

VeggieGamer

Oh, thanks for asking Noni! I appreciate it, as it can be quite rude to tell viewers that are watching one thing to go and watch another. XD But yeah I don't mind you sharing it here. You don't need to do the same on heres though, I wouldn't want to give the wrong impression!

Ирина Устюгова

It's not important, just a small correction. The conversation about the Quibbler took place on the train, not in the carriage.

Noni

Thanks for that. The channel is @QueenBlaze for anyone who wants to check them out. she’s covered all 8 movies now.

So in regards to centaurs in the story, in the first book when harry meets the centaurs most just say "mars is bright tonight" and Hagrid tries to ask if they seen anything and thats the only response they seem to give. Hagrid calls them ruddy star gazers and says they are not interested in things closer than the moon. Firenze saves harry from voldemort who was drinking the unicorn blood and allows him to ride on his back to safety, which the other centaurs did not appreciate. He explains to harry about the unicorn blood and he tells him the "stars have been read wrong before even by centuars he hopes this is one of those times"

S1lm4r1l

When Hermione says "You should've told her I was ugly." I think she's indicating that Harry should've unequivocally explained that he was not interested in Hermione romantically. Hermione also might believe that Cho is shallow, and whilst talking down other girls wouldn't work on Hermione, it would work on Cho. Ginny ends the game for two reasons. 1) Losing by 10 points is better than losing by 310. 2) To spare Ron who was quite plainly floundering out there. Quidditch at Hogwarts is bizarre. All that matters is the total number of points scored across the 3 games your team plays. It is entirely possible for a Hogwarts Quidditch team to lose every game they play and still win the Quidditch cup. And Yes, that is very stupid.

VeggieGamer

Without trying to paraphrase Harry and Ron - Why not actually just say that? Why specifically say 'ugly'?

VeggieGamer

I presume if you can grab the snitch, you can also bat it away, would this not have extended the game? Either way, clearly I got this wrong again, sorry. I find hte quidditch stuff hard to follow sometimes.

VeggieGamer

Hmm, I now feel like Ron and Harry, because I think there is a huge space between saying 'I'm not interested in someone' to 'I think that person is ugly'. It is less reassuring and more just unpleasent. But tbh, I clearly misread what she meant there. Thanks for the explaination!

Cari Ann

I think azula is more like bellatrix to me, insanely evil but also pretty cool 😎. Umbridge is just the worst to me lol. I can't think of a character in anything else that I hate as much as her honestly. Like even president snow in the hunger games I enjoy more than umbridge lol. If I ever watch star wars maybe I would like the giant worm guy more than umbridge or maybe that would be the one I finally said it comparable to how awful she is to me lol.

Dani Phantom

i’m not saying you’re wrong by any means! that’s just how my brain made sense of it when i was a young teen and read it, so that thought process has always kind of followed me on rereads. to a 15 year old, saying “i’m not attracted to you” will basically equate to “you’re ugly” in their fragile little minds 😂

Ирина Устюгова

Veggie, I think you should look at it from a different perspective. You were trying to imagine Ron saying this to Hermione about Padma, which doesn't really fit, since Hermione was never jealous of her. A better 'what-if' scenario would be if Hermione had told Ron that Krum was ugly just to calm him down a bit. I'm not saying it's a healthy way to handle someone's insecurities, but they are teenagers after all.

VeggieGamer

Ah, now this is interesting. That means that Hermione knows that Cho is jealous of her? If so, sorry I haven't picked up on that being the case!

Mordimer

I fell so far behind recently, I'm still on your chapter 13 review, but will catch up soon:) Hope you're doing well!

John Phillips

You could but the team was already falling way behind on points and with Ron struggling to block the quaffle from going in, and the two new beaters struggling to play at all, I don't think Ginny wanted to risk the team falling even more behind on points, so she caught the snitch and lessened the severity of the damage.

Dani Phantom

i think any 16 year old girl would be jealous or at least mildly suspicious of any girl who hangs out with their crush and/or potential boyfriend every single day! but yes i agree with the above, if ron were upset about something to do with krum and she said “I’m not even attracted to him” it would go a long way to calm ron.

Dani Phantom

i think also to help ron save face a bit. if they were going to lose anyway, better to lose when you’re only a little bit behind than make the game 300-150. (i BELEIVE the quidditch points also factor into the end of the year house cup, so that was probably part of the reasoning too)

S1lm4r1l

Because Hermione doesn't value her own good looks as much as Cho does.

VeggieGamer

I genuinely think there is a difference between "not valuing her own looks" and saying someone should say you are ugly. Honestly I most definitely have this wrong, but I don't see that being the same thing.

Simon audsley

You almost got a Transylvania Pet Shop quote but since I found Rentaghost on the internet archive I've been watching it though haven't got to my era yet, trying to find the 90's kid's show pirates but it seems have vanished into the void. Ginny is a Weasley and they seem to go in for big families so twelve may not be out of the question. Also the FLASH! queen topic is harry potter related since hagrids in it, if you're paying attention early in the film. Like your "Mars is bright tonight" throwback comment...

Dodolulupepe

IMO, if Ginny didn’t grab the snitch, Summerby (the Hufflepuff seeker) surely would, because it says Ginny grabbed the snitch “right under his nose”. She wouldn’t have wanted to risk that. Especially because on the Quidditch cup we know that if there is a 3 way tie (2 wins across the board, which happened in Prisoner of Azkaban and can’t be that rare), the winner is based on points not number of wins

Garfnob

i am unclear how a chapter name would help, unless you just want to watch select chapters. in that case an abbreviation would not work.

VeggieGamer

I am feeling rather unwell right now so maybe I missed something, but you say they were “falling well behind on points”. I genuinely heard they were down by a single goal and thought I looked up the scoring to make sure. I must be missing something, they were falling well behind in points? I get I make mistakes in these videos, but I feel the need to suggest this isn’t one. It is a horrible feeling, to post a video so full of mistakes, but you are telling me they weren’t losing by a single goal? I am sure someone will explain my mistake here, but I genuinely thought it said they were behind by a single goal

Dodolulupepe

I think the total number of points only works this way if it's a three-way tie like what happened in PoA, otherwise it's just based on the number of wins

Dodolulupepe

no, you were right Veggie, they were only losing by a single goal, don't feel like you have made a mistake! What they meant by "falling well behind on points" I think was that the difference was 160 before the snitch was caught, so only 10 after, but the difference would have continued to grow without the snitch catch right then and there

John Phillips

The snitch is worth 150 points when caught. So yes, they were falling well behind by 160 points. My point is that if the Hufflepuff seeker had caught the snitch instead, Gryffindor's defeat would've been even more catastrophic. Ginny made the right call by ending it when she did. I know you have your problems with Quidditch but I think this is a bit too nitpicky.

VeggieGamer

I wasn’t trying to be petty sorry, I made a mistake. I forgot the 150 points, which is 100% on me.

Alias93

@Veggie: "Why not actually just say that?" From my interpretation, it's for the same reason Hermione said that "girls don't often ask questions like that" when Harry asked why Cho didn't just ask him who he liked better. Saying outright that he is not romantically interested in Hermione might sound very suspicious to Cho coming from someone who hangs out with her a lot, she might have thought "well that's exactly what a person who is romantically interested in Hermione would say!" Saying that Hermione is ugly, while not true, would probably have a better effect (of course Harry would have to say it with tact and not just "hey btw, I think Hermione is ugly" so I'm not sure he would have pulled it off anyway). @S1lm4r1l: if my maths is correct, they would have lost by 310 points, since they were already down by 160. Which would be pretty much game over for the cup, while a defeat by 10 points means there's still a chance as long as no other team wins 3 matches.

Alias93

If I want to find a specific chapter in the book club videos/posts, I use the wiki page with the list of chapter titles and then look for the corresponding number, which is included in the titles.

Badger Kat

Great video, I always love hearing your thoughts and opinions! Regarding the points from Sprout for passing her a watering can, she was Cedric’s head of house and knew him best. Harry giving the interview and revealing what happened to Cedric could be seen as honoring his memory as the ministry was making out that his death was an accident. Hope your shoulder is feeling better!

Caroline

Haha, I really enjoyed your little detour about tennis matches. I play myself, and actually, it’s not the brevity of the matches thats fascinating, but rather their length. The longest match lasted three days, i think. That’s obviously an extreme exception, but even regular professional matches can last between four and six hours. I love it. It’s such an exciting sport to watch.

Diego Zenhäusern

I've just started the video but to give my two cents to the Cho and Harry fiasko. I firmly bleieve there are no two sides to be on and no side that is more to blame than the other. Both of them said things that we're perfectly sensible/ not hurtful in their mind, but which were received in a completely unintended way by their opposit. And to clarify: It is basically impossible to word something in a way were you're sure in advance that the other person will interpret it in the right way. However, the mistakes both of them made and for which they are to blame is that: 1. Both failed to regognize how they were missunderstood/ which message the opposite was inadvertantly getting. 2. Neither of them tried to clearly explain their meaning afterwards. Instead both tried to beat around the bush and therefore the missunderstandings just grew.

PumpkinSparks

You mentioned Critical Role, I am summoned! You are getting VERY close to meeting my favourite C2 NPC!!! Fun, I'm partially ambidextrous as well. I think it's called mixed-handedness? Due to conditioning (everything is taught right handed, and learning a new skill is easier when you copy what others do) my right hand is by far more dominant now, but I still do certain things like a left handed person and sometimes I automatically switch the knife and fork positions... And apparently there is a link between atypical handedness and neurodivergency. It's really fascinating and quite the rabbit hole once you start looking into it. According to those studies it's also linked to an elevated creativity?! I love your beard, but I do think a little shorter - like 1-2 cm - would look really smart. It might make the edge look a bit sharper.

PumpkinSparks

I absolutely disagree with Hermione. The scene was funny (especially Harrys response), but I think it would have been the worst idea to call her ugly to soften everything for Cho. If my potential romantic partner tries to talk me up or convince me of their love for me by dunking on their friend, that would be a huge red flag! How will they talk about me when I'm not around? But also: I absolutely agree with Hermione! The way people get riled up about sports is baffling to me... Even when I played sports myself, I loved the game, and obviously did my best and tried to win. But if we lost, that's fine! As long as we did our best? Who really cares? I might have driven my teammates and my athleticly inclined family insane with that... While talking about sports: I think we can all agree that the author has no idea how sports work. So generally if the main focus of a story beat is Quidditch, just ignore everything that is gimmicky and doesn't make sense. That being said, yeah it didn't make sense for Ginny to catch the snitch at that moment... They have changed the rules quite a bit since I played so this might not apply anymore. But back when I played Quadball (Muggle Quidditch) we often had tournaments where you'd play several games a day. There were moments where a tactical snitch catch while still losing made absolute sense. You don't exert the players unnecessarily, giving you better chances for the next match. And it happened more often than you'd think that 2 teams would have a point tie at the end of the day, then the amount of snitch catches were considered to break the tie!

Badger Kat

I always chalked up the ridiculousness of Quidditch to be equivalent to the general ridiculousness of the wizarding world as a whole. The absurdity of their monetary system (29 knuts to 1 sickle, 17 sickles to one galleon, why use prime numbers?), using quills, and just their general backwards way of thinking is supposed to just be completely different than the logical non-magical world. Maybe it’s just me and I just accepted it too much.

1. Love the hat, I always love your hats. There's something about an Englishman wearing a hat that I find so charming and endearing. 2. We've started calling them jacket potatoes in our household specifically because of you -- my husband and I get a kick out of the idea of a potato in a jacket. If I could draw, there would be fanart. lol

VeggieGamer

Haha, patato waffles are, but that is pretty different. Though I DID find some vegan pancakes last week.

Shiro523

I always figure Krum caught the snitch because he knew they were going to lose regardless. Minus Krum Ireland was the superior team and they were crushing Bulgaria. Krum probably thought that the longer he waited to catch the snitch the further and further Ireland would pull ahead. So it was either catch the snitch now and lose by a small margin or waste everyone's time by waiting and still lose but more embarrassingly with a massive point difference.

MP

I think too Ireland's seeker had also seen the Snitch, so it was a matter of which one would get it. The game would be over either way. I don't think it says which one actually went for it first.

MP

I wouldn't say that Snape was a great Occlumency teacher for Harry, there is too much animosity there for that. I do believe, though, that in this situation Snape was the only option. I don't read of any of the other teachers being particularly good at it, apart from Dumbledore, and he had his reasons for not teaching Harry himself.

Mary

Currently listening to you talking about your walk and it’s so true. We had a rescue Shih Tzu and yes if a dog approached her while she was on the lead she would snarl and get really anxious but when she was able to be off lead she was so friendly and played with every dog she met
