- You're less like your father than I thought...Harry didn't want Sirius to gauge a risk
- This book is all about discrediting Dumbledore and Harry
- T for Troll
- Harry, you're the best in the year at DAtDA
- Just listen to me all right? It sounds great when you say it like that, but all that stuff was luck.
- This is exactly why we need you..we need to know what it's really like.. facing Voldemort- Hermione says V for the first time
- Harry subconsciously planned lessons
- What did Vicky say? π
- Hermione who was taking more subjects than either of them had not only finished her homework but was also finding time to knit more elf clothes
- Harry's stomach did a backflip
- Yes well the idea seemed quite popular said Hermione happily
- Hermione's speech to Dumbledore's Army
- The veiled witch sitting alone shifted very slightly in her seat - Mundungus
- The fact that Cho had praised him made it much, much harder for him to day the thing he had sworn to himself he would tell them.

- Look after yourself Harry - Sirius's last proper words
- Snape is superb at Occlumency
- Well I suppose you want to ---Only if you do - Cho said eagerly
- You have no subtlety Potter. You do not understand fine distinctions. It is one of the shortcomings that makes you such a lamentable potion maker
- Legilimency used to detect lies - those skilled at Occlumency can shut down feelings and memories that contradict the lie
- When Snape spoke again, it was slowly and deliberately, as though he weighed every word
- Voldemort knows Harry can see his thoughts and the reverse is likely to be true

- P513. Teachers found ways to express their feelings about the banned interview

- Warns Hermione to go into the great hall for lunch
- Hermione giving the night off to Harry and Ron re homework π
- Break up argument with Cho before Snape's Occlumency lesson
- I think it was a brilliant idea Harry said coldly (agreed Harry) - "she sold us all out, including you!"

- "What do you think about this? Hermione demanded of Ron

- Careers advice - my favourite chapter of the book...culminating in Peeves saluting to Fred and George
- "One more lesson like that and I might do a Weasley"
- Hermione we've been through this before..it's already bad enough going through the exam once
- Harry and Neville more relaxed without Snape around during the Potions OWL
- McGonagall and Hagrid attacked during an exam
- Harry caused Sirius's death
- Hi we recognised Harry's voice. What are you yelling about? Ginny and Luna walk in
- Ginny and Luna willing to help
- Harry recognised Hermione's offer to accompany him as a sign of solidarity and loyalty
- Harry forgot Snape was around
- Umbridge using Cruciatus and sending Dementors after Harry
- Hermione crying without tears ππ€£
- Umbridge easily fooled by the mention of Dumbledore's weapon
- HERMY! WHERE HAGGER?

- Nice that they came and the group expands
- Hermione and Neville say don't touch it Harry p688
- SPT to APWBD
- If Sirius really was not here, he had led his friends to their deaths for no reason at all
- If death is nothing Dumbledore kill the boy - a trick because he had other horcruxes

- Dumbledore's conversation is weird re feelings
- Dumbledore should have just passed a message to Harry re Voldemort's trap..
- "A lone voice of truth... forced to bear ridicule and slander"
- Ron making centaur noises to scare Umbridge π€£
- McGonagall giving random points to Gryffindor
- Harry has grown up a lot and had to after his guilt
- "He somehow could not find words to tell them what it meant to him, to see them all ranged there, on his side"
- I didn't like this book as much as the others. Somehow Dumbledore's reasons of keeping Harry in the dark (because Dumbledore loved Harry) and blaming himself don't really add up. Ultimately Harry caused Sirius's death, even if that's a harsh conclusion and even accepting he's suffering from PTSD due to Cedric's death
- I thought the Cho romance was a bit cringeworthy but I suppose that is a reflection of teenage turmoil
- I would've also liked to see Umbridge suffer more
- Say 4.2/5. I did enjoy the fight at the Ministry and Luna Lovegood's crazy character.
This used to be a site dedicated to Board, Card and Party Game reviews but, in the end, I realised that there are plenty of other things to talk about =)
