AND we complete Chamber of Secrets with by far the longest video yet! XD So sorry about the length, guys!  I'll say this - It is the final 2 chapters, a Book Overview review, Favourite Character discussion, the Poll that was posted here a few days ago and of course, the Harry Potter Book Club! All together bring the video to a MASSIVE 3 and a half hours! XD

I do worry that I may have been rambling a bit in it, so I hope it isn't too unfocused.  Now we can get ready for Prisoner!!! (I may do a couple of other Potter related videos before hand)

Love you guys!  Get comfy, this one is a bit... epic. XD

You: Justin doesn’t need to apologise to Harry for suspecting him. He had reasons to doubt him and was scared for those reasons. Everyone in school talks about Harry being a suspect but no one is supposed to need to apologise. Harry in HP1: Suspects Snape of being on Voldemort‘s side for good reasons. He‘s scared of what that means for him because of his history. Only Ron, Hermione, Hagrid and I believe McGonagall know about his suspicions but he‘s supposed to go apologise to Snape for something Snape does not even know about. Is that just your Hufflepuff bias or do you actually think these situations are that different? (As a Hufflepuff myself - absolutely not mad if it‘s bias; As a teacher myself - I will not be liking or defending Snape any time soon even if he does have some decent moments) Edit: I also don‘t find the book Tom too bad as a villain or not enough like the Voldemort from other books. Because I always thought, well he‘s his 16 year old self here and just thinking of how different I am now to my own 16 year old self, I can totally see this being the case. I can totally see 16 year old Tom having the time of his life during all this.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH VEGGIE THANK YOU FOR DROPPING THIS RN I NEEDED IT FOR MY LONG WORK COMMUTE!!!

Dara Jeeling

yay! now a tea, some cookies and watching whilst working on some small christmas stuff also, fun fact - in englis it's "Tom Marvolo Riddle" - so the anagram fits in Germany he is names "Tom Vorlost Riddle" and I remember in one Country he is even "Tom Elvis Riddle" - so the anagram fits

VeggieGamer

Haha that is a great fact, Dara! I guess you could say Tom is the "Devil in Disguise" XD (... That's an Elvis song... I'll get my coat)

Maria

(At aprox. 27 min:) About being interested in Harry instead of the "mudbloods", I just think he means that originally he was there at the school to open the chamber to get rid of the "mudbloods", but while he was there became interested in Harry because of what Ginny was writing. Riddle would've been shocked to hear that his future downfall was caused by this young boy presently at Hogwarts, so I completely understand that he wants to focus on that instead. Riddle/Voldemort doesn't follow Salazar Slytherin's bidding, but does as he pleases, and his focus shifted, understandably. That's my take. :)

Hilde

“Tom Dredolo Venster” in Norwegian! I like the middle name because it’ll make you think of dread (if you know English) and I always liked the surname Venster as well. Also, went to the supermarket just before this while feeling super hungry, so my equivalent to your tea+cookies would be three (!) chocolate donuts 🍩😆😩

Marc Post Jr

Can’t wait for Prisoner of Azkaban, there is just so much detail in the books that add context to the movies and expand the universe even more

Kattie Martin

Our next book is one I will always remember as the reason I got moved from fourth grade reading to fourth grade literature. Apparently Prisoner of Azkaban is a seventh grade reading level and they decided I needed to go from the fun reading class to the boring literature class. It began my disdain for the over analyzing of literature. For example:“The house is falling apart as a representation of the character falling apart.” No the house is falling apart because they’re poor and can’t keep up with repairs, it’s not that deep.

Sara

Since we're going through the name translations, his name is "Tom Lomen Valedro" in Finnish, which, I think, makes him sound vaguely Spanish. Though "vale" basically means "false" or "pseudo" in Finnish, so I guess the name has a somewhat ominous tone.

JablesBoogley

The Burrow. For a lot of the Tom Riddle stuff. Remember in the 6th movie Dumbledore takes Harry down memory lane? Let's just say there is A LOT more in the book. Also, don't worry about the length of the videos. I have fun listening while I play video games on my day off

Katie

The Burrow Loving your chapter reviews. Just some thoughts: Voldemort/Tom Riddle not remembering about the healing power of phoenix tears highlights his lack of interest or understanding in certain types of magic. He overlooks what isn't important to him. This is a key theme in the books for his character. Also, when Dobby appears in the hospital wing in chapter 10 he says to Harry: “This, sir?” said Dobby, plucking at the pillowcase. “‘Tis a mark of the house-elf’s enslavement, sir. Dobby can only be freed if his masters present him with clothes, sir. The family is careful not to pass Dobby even a sock, sir, for then he would be free to leave their house forever.” I think when it comes to laundry the family can leave the clothes in a basket and the house elves can do their laundry but if they present any item of clothing directly to a house elf then they will be set free. Really looking forward to you starting book 3! 🙂

Garry (Not Jerry)

(Referring to voldemort’s father) “The only time where we have a muggle not wanting anything to do with someone because they found out they were a magic user” 😂I know you haven’t heard from them since the beginning of the book, but remember the Dursleys? This is kind of their whole shtick.

Dara Jeeling

Veggie yes I knew that was an Elvis song I think I even have a CD with it somewhere.... *laughs* I tried to learn Norwegian - not good atit, even though it's a beautiful country and I love hearing the language. @Sara yeah sounds sort of spanish - not the Lomen part, but the Valedro. I stopped reading the books in German after the 4th one, since the first Chapter was called "das Haus der Riddles" and in the original version "The Riddle House" and I preferd the double meaning. I have a complete set of German and english books (and a Slytherin edition as well). I still prefer to read them in the original language. The german translation sucked at points XD Especially with Peeves

Frederique Gillespie

THE BURROW Thank you so much for doing these, Veggie. I love these.

Rod

Burrow - ok, now we go to Azkaban, and that's when the books start getting really good!

Garry (Not Jerry)

Wafting Nick up the stairs is definitely worth at least 3 points but I’m not sure about 200 😂

Ah. Veggie don't be too quick to judge Slytherin. We know that Wizards were persecuted for their magic and that Slytherin was opposed to Muggle-borns being taught at Hogwarts. This has been passed down through the generations to become simple bigotry. There are theories that Slytherin simply mistrusted Muggle-borns and thought there was a possibility that one of them would sell out to the Muggles nearby. Slytherin created the Chamber for 2 reasons. 1) To contain the Basilisk. 2) To provide a place to hide. A refuge. Only Parselmouths can open the door. A Basilisk would be a perfect weapon to deploy against a large, hostile group of Muggles. A nuclear weapon of the Wizarding World. Gryffindor and Slytherin's disagreement regarding Muggle-borns has a greater edge to it than simple bigotry. Slytherin sincerely felt that Gryffindor was jeopardizing the safety of the school and its inhabitants by allowing Muggle-borns in. It's only a theory of course. But it makes a lot of sense. Can you imagine though? Reading about Basilisk venom and it says: Only cure is Phoenix tears. Wouldn't you think "Yeah right, because these Mudbloods are totally gonna have a crying Phoenix to hand aren't they?" I'm not surprised Tom forgot about it. I doubt Basilisks are on the Curriculum for COMC. It's illegal to even attempt to breed one. Tom probably read about it, thought it so incredibly unlikely to ever come up that he sorted it away. After all, Basilisks usually kill with their eyes. Regarding the points. It is significant but the full implications of what Harry has done and the absolute gift he has given Dumbledore are not known at this point.

Katie

Veggie, now you know Percy was sneaking around Hogwarts with Penelope all year did you think back to this scene: when Harry and Ron are disguised as Crabbe and Goyle and ask Penelope for directions to the Slytherin common room as she's leaving the dungeons and once they enter the dungeons they then meet Percy from where she was coming from? 😁 Oh btw Veggie, you mentioned you wanted to watch the Very Potter musicals. I would recommend you don't watch any of them until you've finished the book series because there are so many references to the books in them that I think you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of them once you've finished the series

Jacqueline Chaiton

The Burrow It's interesting that you point out how similar Ron and Ginny are because I think it also highlights even further how Percy is the odd one out. Bill and Charlie have each other, iirc Charlie was Bill's best man, the twins have each other, and Ron and Ginny have each other. Percy doesn't have anyone at home. I think the decisions he makes later make a lot more sense when you consider that. I also think you're right about that line from Voldemort telling Harry to take his time dying, I can't remember my reaction when my mom read the book to me but I was 9 when the movie came out and I think that would have terrified me. Hell of a line, though. You're definitely not in the wrong about Myrtle, at least not in my opinion. It's another thing that gets glossed over in the movies, similar to how young James and Lily were, that she died when she was 12-ish years old. All because Voldemort could not care less about collateral damage. I imagine Molly and Arthur would have either floo'd to the Three Broomsticks or just apparated directly into Hogsmeade and gone from there since it's a short walk. Either that or McGonagall opened the floo in her office to them. I love that Harry doesn't idiotically announce that he knows Dobby like he does in the movie. I think laundry is fine because there is no act of a wizard giving the house elf the clothes, they'd just pick it up from where ever it was left. Also I've never considered Draco's relationship to Dobby, I'd have to think it's similar to how Lucius treats Dobby. I don't think Harry or Justin needed to apologize to the other. I totally understand why Justin was scared and his friends weren't really helping, and I understand why Harry was angry for being considered the heir. I do love the end of the movie, especially with the slightly updated version of Leaving Hogwarts playing in the background. Lockhart wasn't arrested, but I'll leave that comment there. I can't wait for you to get to Ron's phone call xD I think overall the most improved character in the books is... Harry himself. Especially the first two. He feels so much more real in the books.

Anders Ekren

The Burrow! Man, you should really play DnD. I haven't played many sessions and I haven't played much recently, because of my schedule, but man is it a relaxing and immersive break from my week when I do!

Ziro the Hutt

The Burrow!! Just picking up on your reflections Veggie, on Ginny's diary thoughts and how she starts to think she is going mad; and how this is skipped over completely in the film. I think the film-makers just wanted to get to the showdown between Harry, Tom and the Basilisk, so redacted all of that stuff to get there. As you said too, it may be that they thought, that Ginny's writings might be deemed too dark for the target audience for the film; but they miss a key point by doing that if that is indeed the case : the books are at the end of the day, children's books. And one of the great things about Rowling and someone like George Lucas when he did Star Wars; was that they don't talk down to kids, they put these more adult and dark things in their works, as they feel - quite rightly - that kids will understand it. To talk down to them or redact more difficult themes and topics, does kids a disservice. As Yoda himself would say speaking of Star Wars : "truly wonderful, the mind of a child is". As much as I enjoy the Dumbledore's portrayed by Harris and Gambon in the films; the book version of him is so much better, just because we get more of the eccentricity, kindness and sharpness, as well as power, of him. He is often noted by Harry as having piercing blue eyes that, when they want to, can not only read your soul, but will terrify; and when he tells Lucius not to do that again, he says it cheerfully enough, but in a way that states, if he comes for him, he WILL lose everything. Draco is a spoilt brat early in the books, so would treat Dobby in the same way as his father, i.e. with disdain and threats.

Johanna Wilson

The Burrow! I literally did a happy dance when you said you might do AVPM next! Team Starkid is super chill about reaction videos, so editing should be easy if it’s needed at all. Also, please watch with subtitles, they’re done by the actor who plays Voldemort, and pretty necessary, since the audio is pretty rubbish at points. Love your content, can’t wait to continue this journey with you ❤️

The Burrow!! I don't know why this just occurred to me, but I think Hagrid missed out on a HUGE opportunity at the end of the book. He was expelled in his third year and his wand was snapped for "opening the chamber," but it was proven that he didn't actually do it. If I were him, once I was pardoned, I would go straight to Dumbledore and ask if I could re-enroll at Hogwarts. I don't care how old I was, I would want the chance to finish my magical education. He could have gotten a new wand, or maybe Ollivander could have repaired the pieces of his old one. I think Hagrid was kind of done dirty in a lot of ways. Think back to the end of Deathly Hallows part 2 - Harry names his 2 sons after the most important men in his life (James Sirius and Albus Severus) except, up until his death, Harry hated Snape, so I don't get that. And what about Hagrid?? He was there for Harry from day one! Hagrid deserved more love than he got. I've read my fair share of FanFiction over the years and while it's not the main story line, Draco's relationship with Dobby is addressed in some. I personally like to believe that Draco at home is completely different than Draco at school. In my head canon, Lucius outwardly spoils Draco so the public thinks he is a good father, but really Draco is not treated well by his father and Dobby is the one who really raises him. I like to think Draco loved Dobby, because he was one of the few people to show him any affection (besides maybe his mother on occasion). Draco is such a bully at school because that's the only time he is able to exert any power. Again, none of this has been proven to be true, but in my happy little world it is :)

itsanursething

So true! The musicals are a miss-mash of all the books. So many spoilers!

Marc Post Jr

I’m also realizing now that Ginny might have been in love with Tom Riddle, considering how much Harry and Tom Riddle have in common, it’s not a stretch and it makes sense that an 11 year old girl would fall for that

Ben Preuss

The Burrow Hi guys, there is one thing about the 2nd book I never truely understood, maybe because I am such a terrible nitpick. The diary is clearly the 1rst Horcrux Voldemort ever made and later on it is explained that Slughorn had told Tom he had to kill to create one. But from what is implied by everyone including herself, Mytrle was killed by the basilisk, not Tom. So how did that work? Was it enough that he set that creature loose? Or am I just overthinking it? XD

Wayne Joy

I think there is some wiggle room in regards to house elfs being presented clothes. If an elf doesn't want to be free it might require some formal ceremony where they are presented clothes, but if you are Dobby, you would think that catching a random sock from the air would qualify.

Wayne Joy

My main argument against the movie ending is that realistically only the staff table, half of Gryffindor, and a few random Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws would applause. I did watch Chamber after Robbie died though just because he got a standing ovation at the end.

Katie

This is my interpretation - as Tom was controlling the Basilisk he was responsible for the murder. A horcrux is made by the act of murder which severs the soul then you are able to remove that piece of soul and transfer it into an object. So it depends on whether you think Tom controlling the Basilisk to kill a girl is murder. I think it is

Katie

I've always found the ending of the chamber of secrets movie weird and cheesy. I agree, most of the students don't know Hagrid personally so they don't have the same connection as the trio and wouldn't clap. Also I think the applause goes on waaaay too long haha! I never thought about the way it sets up the next movie though so that's a positive

Johanna Wilson

I vehemently disagree. While there are a very few *ahem* “obscure” references that he would only get after having read the books, I don’t think he’d be missing out on anything really by watching them now. Besides, do you really want to wait that long for his reaction to it? Lol

Katie

I don't mind waiting for him to react to the musicals as long as he isn't spoiled. The reason I said that is because I've watched another reaction channel where they watched the movies first, then they watched all the musicals before then reading the entire series. I remember watching their musical reactions and realising lots of references went over their heads and then also when they got to certain book moments they were confused because of things that happened in the musicals. I would love to see him react to the musicals right now if he could but I just think he'll get more out of them once he's finished reading the books

Diego Zenhäusern

That was always how I rationalized the laundry thing. But I still have to say that it makes way more sense in the movie, since there Lucious is actually "handing" the sock to Dobby. If "throwing and catching" would be enough, Dobby could just apparate in and catch a sock when they're droping it into the laundry basket😅

Diego Zenhäusern

Yeah, the spoiling Draco outwards but mistreating him at home definitely rings true to me as well! But whilst I'd love to imagine that Draco was nice to Dobby, I just can't see it: I can't imagine Draco turning out that much of a bully if he'd have had Dobby as a friend...🤔🙁

Diego Zenhäusern

The burrow First off, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy it, when you point out the differences in tone between book and movie, because I rarely really notice them, since 1. I'm quite bad at noticing tone in the first place and 2. I've read the books and seen the movies so many times that I often just kinda transfer the tone of the movie scene into the book even though it doesn't belong there🤦‍♂️😂 Secondly, I don't think you're wrong with Myrtle. I think having Myrtle as comedic relief is kinda weird because it is basically making fun of someone who is depressed and has been through severe trauma. I think it's just one of the things in the books that didn't age well/ never should have been acceptable in the first place. But I guess nothing is ever perfect🤔...so it isn't something that ruins the books as a whole for me🙂 P.S. You thinking "Tom Riddle" and not "Voldemort" was Voldemort's alias made my day😅

Thunderbird

The burrow 😉 You can’t apparate to Hogwarts but you can to Hogsmeade. That’s what I assume the Weasley’s did. The thing about different wands made me think of something else you might find interesting: You don’t actually need a wand to do magic. Obviously we know that young wizards and witches do magic when they are angry or scared. In the movies we also see Dumbledore in PoA (Quiddich match versus Hufflepuff) and Hermione (several times in Halfblood prince) do magic without a wand and only with the incantation. But actually, a wand is only kind of an amplifier to make magic easier. So more powerful wizards are able to cast spells without a wand. AND in Uagadou, the African wizarding school, most students don’t use a wand! Also they are exeptionally good at self-transfiguration, meaning most oft hem are animagi. Just thought this would be a fun fact. 😊 Another great reaction, can’t wait for prisoner! 🤗

Wayne Joy

They could have also flooed to Hogsmeade or McGonagall could have opened the floo in her office to them. As an extremely mild spoiler which wouldn't really ruin anything, one year during winter break they have all the students floo back to the school.

Rebecca May

The Burrow 😊 Something I feel is very important to mention here is the film scene where Lucius starts to say “Avada Kedavra”. Jason Isaacs has literally received hate mail over that scene, and it was a completely honest mistake. It was written in the script that Lucius should raise his wand before being thrown down the corridor by Dobby, and Jason thought he should begin to say a curse to make the scene more realistic. Somewhat panicking because he couldn’t remember any spells, he asked one of the crew, “Do you know any spells?” At first they couldn’t think of any, but then came up with “Avada Kedavra.” Poor Jason, he truly didn’t know that it was the literal death spell! He was just looking for a way to make the scene more authentic, and some people still hate him for it! I feel so bad for him. Anyway, I love these videos (the longer the better!), and I really appreciate your efforts to reassure us that you still love the films… As someone who adores both the films and the books, I do worry that you’ll be influenced into disliking the films. Speaking of the films, in the final scene of Chamber of Secrets, while Draco, Crabbe and Goyle stay seated, the majority of Slytherin house do stand up, and you do see that Professor Snape is also applauding as the camera pans out of the window. As for the “werewolf cubs under the bed” comment, I expect Voldemort was being facetious and cruel, rather than being literal. He was just trying to get across how “stupid” Hagrid was for his habit of looking after creatures that no one else thought worthwhile… Also pretty dark and horrible that in his mind, looking after werewolves (who are still HUMAN, most of the time) is about as worthwhile as looking after giant spiders or three-headed dogs or Flobberworms or whatever else. Just horrible. P.S. My favourite instance of internal dialogue in a film is from Interview With the Vampire, because it actually makes sense within the “interview” device of the film, and you get some really gorgeous lines straight from the book that you wouldn’t get otherwise. Mostly I hate internal dialogue in films, because it’s a fairly lazy way of telling rather than showing, but when done well it can be super effective.

Q

The Burrow. Has anyone else discriminated against magic users specifically? Yes! The Dursleys! Adding another layer of parallels to Harry and Tom and their stories. Also historically many people lol. Ravenclaws get so little respect the movies even got our colors wrong! So excited for you to start Prisoner of Azkaban, that's where the movies really started going off-book. So many subplots, details, character moments, and explanation were missed out that I think you'll love! Great video as always!

H

"There are theories that Slytherin simply mistrusted Muggle-borns and thought there was a possibility that one of them would sell out to the Muggles nearby." This is the basis of a lot of racism in the real world too, to be fair, so to me it sounds like JKR thought about this while writing it. Never the best excuse even though it helps giving more layers to the whole Slytherin bigotry thing. A lot of interesting stuff in your comment, by the way!

Katie

Not only did the movies get our colours wrong but they also used the wrong bird. In the books it's an eagle and in the movies it's a raven just to dumb things down

Diego Zenhäusern

I mean I like the explanation for the werewolf cubs, but the actual answer is probably that Rowling didn't think about it. 😅 Which is completely understandable, since I din't think about this either until I'd read the books like 10 times xD ! Also: didn't know the thing about Jason Isaacs, that's really interesting😮

Diego Zenhäusern

To be fair: Calling it RAVENclaw but using an eagle was a weird choice of Rowling 😅 That said: They probably still should have caught that in production🤔

Rebecca May

Haha, that's also quite possible! :D If nothing else, that dialogue is great for showing the first glimpses of how werewolves are pretty much considered second-class citizens, setting up for the later books and Prisoner of Azkaban in particular. Yes, I watched an interview a while back where he explains it... I think he's quite upset that some people can't let it go, when he really wasn't trying to destroy the character or the scene or anything. :(

Katie

How come Gryffindor has a lion and not a Gryffin then? 😁 I think the original eagle crest in the books is so much more impressive looking than the raven version used in the movies. Also, the four mascots are supposed to represent the four elements of alchemy: fire (lion), water (snake), earth (badger) and air (eagle). Ravens are not associated with air in alchemy, they are associated with operations that involve breaking things down. That's why it's an eagle not a raven. Also, the eagle represents the ability to soar higher than others which symbolises Ravenclaw's traits of seeking knowledge and wisdom above all else.

Thunderbird

Also J.K. could have just meant the colour raven which would fit because eagles do have black claws. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Katie

Here's an entry about werewolf cubs from Pottermore: One curious feature of [lycanthropy] is that if two werewolves meet and mate at the full moon… the result of the mating will be wolf cubs [that] resemble true wolves in everything except their abnormally high intelligence. They are not more aggressive than normal wolves and do not single out humans for attack. Such a litter was once set free, under conditions of extreme secrecy, in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, with the kind permission of Albus Dumbledore. The cubs grew into beautiful and unusually intelligent wolves, and some of them live there still, which has given rise to the stories about ‘werewolves’ in the Forest – stories none of the teachers, or the gamekeeper, has done much to dispel because keeping students out of the Forest is, in their view, highly desirable.” So, Riddle may have been lying about Hagrid raising werewolf cubs under his bed but this explains the rumours of werewolves in the forest and why both Malfoy (in book 1) and Ron (in book 2) are afraid there are werewolves in the forbidden forest (although in both instances the moon is described as bright and could be a full moon). There are still wolves in the forest but the teachers want to keep that rumour going that werewolves are in there.

Rebecca May

That’s really interesting, thank you! :)

Shiby23

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAh house elves can't do laundry is a friggen HILARIOUS thought!!!!!!!

Katie

Yep, forgot to mention black/raven claws too

Xeph

Remember when looking at things the movies added, that the following few books were generally already out. So the movie writers knew exactly how bad Azkaban was for example. I don't think Rowling had really worked that out yet when she was writing Chamber

Kunzite Blossom

The Burrow Well Ginny having hand me downs doesn't necessarily mean its from her brothers. Some could be her mothers old clothes, and there's a store in Diagon Alley for used stuff. So they could get her robes, books and more there for cheaper then brand new. Also yes. Book Ginny is so much more well developed then Movie Ginny. In the movie partly agree. I think she loves her family but I think part of her is embarrassed by the family so maybe she tries to do her own thing. However, she does still love her family and does love being apart of her family. I think similarly to Ron she does have her doubts as shes the youngest and the only girl among her siblings. She probably feels a lot of pressure like Ron does.

Janie

The Burrow. I've finally caught up with the reviews and I have to say that I love them! Since I missed the book club when it was opened I'd like to share my theory on why Dumbledore chose Lockhart as the DADA teacher. I think it was because he wanted to show Harry what would happen if Harry let fame go to his head. I think Harry, seeing what fame did to Lockhart, would see that as a bad example and would become even more humble than he already was. Anyway, I can't wait for the Prisoner of Azkaban, thank you for making these videos.

Loveinthehat

Percy is definitely the odd one out, but Percy is similar to Ron as well in certain ways. He tries to be seen more than his family name and tries to hard so he is seen since he is the odd one out and the other siblings seem ‘cooler’ than him. Both Percy and Ron get teased the most by their siblings. Tbh I think in terms of personality Percy and Ron are a bit more similar than Ginny and Ron, especially later on. I never see Ron and Ginny as a pair that’s close in the same way that Fred and George and Charlie and Bill are. But they are definitely closer, probably also because of age than any of the siblings are with Percy

Maria

About the sock - I've thought of a way that it *could* make sense for them to do laundry. There, the clothes would be left, but not discarded. In this scene, Lucius deliberately throws away a sock, with no intention of it remaining his, so it is no longer in his posession. It is Dobby's sock when he catches it, as both Harry and Lucius has freely given it away with no intention of keeping it.

Annette Elliott

The Burrow. Part of Voldemort's ultimate downfall is that egotistical shortsightedness of his. If it doesn't directly apply to his aims then he dismissed things as unimportant. Like the magic of love, loyalty and the magic of a phoenix. If the laundry was in a hamper for the house elf to collect and wash then there would be no expectation that the clothes were being given to the house elf. Dobby even says that they were very careful not to hand him so much as a sock I think.

Garry (Not Jerry)

FYI French: "Tom Elvis Jedusor" -> Je suis Voldemort One more fun fact (because who else is going to care?) Sorting Hat = "Choixpeau" why? "choix" (pronounced "shwa") means choice and "chapeau" means hat. It's a pun! 😆

Alexis Burrows

But it is a woman's NAME. It does NOT have to be literal. To paraphrase an old 'Two Ronnies' joke, just imagine what Arsenal F.C. would use for THEIR emblem if it was!
