101 Reactions While Rereading

1. DEMENTORS! AAAHHHH!! Everybody run! Just not towards the dementors because, you know, that isn’t a good idea.
2. Mrs. Figg? Crazy cat lady knows Dumbledore? This is strange…
3. Mrs. Dursley?? Who was the Howler from?
4. How can I become a Metamorphmagus? It sounds sooooo cool!
5. Grimmauld Place is one of the creepiest houses I have ever heard described… and that is saying something!
6. Stop shouting, Harry, and listen to what they’ve got to say. You might actually learn something that way.
7. Extendable Ears could come in handy… I can think of a few uses already…
8. Percy’s and idiot and The Daily Prophet‘s dumb!
9. Yeah, Sirius, good plan. Now tell Harry everything he wants to know but doesn’t really need to. Oh, and forget the parts he really should know.
10. Kreacher is a completely creepy house elf. I wouldn’t want him creeping about my home!
11. Mrs. Weasley, still referring to Lockhart’s books, makes me smile. 🙂
12. Sirius is related to the Malfoys!?! It is a miracle he turned out so well.
13. Seriously? A hearing in the courtroom in from of the whole court? Ridiculous!
14. Yay! Dumbledore saves the day again!
15. And the Gryffindor prefects are Hermoine and … Ron?
16. These Skiving Snackboxes are sounding pretty awesome… just don’t sell them to my students!
17. Poor Mrs. Weasley. Everything is going to be okay… I hope…
18. Oh, Sirius, you big idiot *sigh*
19. I love Luna! I wish she would have appeared before this book, though.
20. The Quibbler sounds utterly ridiculous and quite a bit like a tabloid.
21. EEKK! Creepy horse things!
22. EEWWW! Umbridge! I loathe her!
23. I love the Sorting Hat’s song: “And we must unite inside her or we’ll crumble from within…” So true!
24. Seriously, Umbridge? Did you just interrupt Dumbledore!?
25. Poor Harry. Even your year-mates don’t believe you…
26. Good job, Neville. You’ll be awesome yet.
27. Snape, why do you always have to pick on Harry? You know he didn’t pick his father!
28. Shut up, Harry! Don’t give her a reason to get mad at you!
29. Umbridge, that’s abuse! Someone should report you!
30. Ron, I think you need some more practice… and better hand-eye coordination might help…
31. No one likes you right now, Percy, so stop acting like you actually care about Ron!
32. Well, Sirius, that is one way to talk with Harry.
33. High Inquisitor!? This is crazy! Keep to the Ministry, Fudge, and leave Hogwarts alone!
34. Poor Trelawney, I actually feel sorry for you here…
35. You go, McGonagall! Stand up to Umbridge!
36. Shut up, Malfoy, no one likes your snide comments.
37. Well, Hermoine, that’s one idea… if you can get Harry to agree with it…
38. Way to go! Stand up to Umbridge! Pity she doesn’t know… yet.
39. All of these Educational Decrees are rather ludicrous. Shouldn’t it be up to the Headmaster?
40. Sirius, sometimes you can be an idiot and take unnecessary risks. Just saying…
41. Dobby, you can be a lifesaver… literally.
42. Can I find a Room of Requirement in my house?
43. And now, we have Dumbledore’s Army… 🙂
44. Look at you, Harry, being the teacher!
45. I love Luna Lovegood so much. Can she be my best friend?
46. Geez, Slytherins, don’t you have anything better to do with your time besides make up stupid songs?
47. What?! Another Educational Decree?! Bye, bye, Quidditch…
48. Yay! Hagrid’s back! But something’s up…
49. The giants sound… interesting. At least Hagrid made it back in, mostly, one piece.
50. Oh no! Umbridge is going to be out to get Hagrid and he has no idea!
51. Thestrals, a bit creepy but kind of interesting.
52. Umbridge, I have you so much!
53. Ginny, sometimes you surprise me. Now you’re a Quidditch player!
54. Hermoine’s role seems to be to give Harry and Ron advice about girls. 🙂
55. No no no no no no no! Not Mr Weasley! NO!
56. And they’re off to Grimmauld Place for Christmas. Sirius will be so pleased.
57. St Mungo’s sounds like it would be such an interesting place to sit and people-watch.
58. Poor Harry, you seriously just need to talk to someone.
59. I don’t think even I’d like that homework planner, Hermoine.
60. Oh, Professor Lockhart, I really don’t miss you.
61. Poor Neville! *hugs*
62. Sirius, Snape, take deep breaths and think: What would Dumbledore have you do?
63. Snape, I consider this to be child abuse. Are you sure this is what you should be doing?
64. Oh no! Azkaban breakouts are never considered good news!
65. Educational Decree 26 is rather hilarious. *giggles*
66. That has to be one of the most awkward and terrible Valentine’s date ever.
67. Oh, Rita, I still don’t like you even if I actually like Hermoine’s idea.
68. And now everyone will read it. Thank you, Umbridge and Educational Decree 27.
69. Goodbye, Trelawney, or not…
70. Hello, Firenze. I love your classroom!
71. Dobby, you are a lifesaver yet again.
72. Percy, keep your mouth shut! *glares*
73. Oh, Dumbledore, you don’t have to… and yet you do. You are great!
74. Weasley’s Wildfire Whiz-Bangs sound like the coolest fireworks ever!
75. Harry, the Pensieve might not be the best idea. I would not advise this course of action.
76. Ummm… well that leaves some questions, some very interesting questions.
77. Go, McGonagall! Vouch for Harry and argue with Umbridge all in one go!
78. Sirius and Lupin, much as I love you, you didn’t really answer the questions.
79. I love the Weasley twins! Portable Swamps and orders for Peeves.
80. Ummm… Hagrid, maybe Grawp wasn’t the best idea…
81. Yeah, Ron! You finally did it! Yippee!
82. I would hate OWLs. I don’t like tests and so OWLs would be really scary.
83. No Hagrid! No! Leave McGonagall alone! NO!!
84. Sirius! Find out what is going on, Harry! Oh Sirius!
85. Kreacher, you evil, laughing elf!
86. Malfoy, you little snake. Don’t be so smug. You haven’t won yet.
87. Great quick-thinking, Hermoine. Nice story.
88. Maybe the centaurs weren’t the best idea…
89. I never thought I’d say this, but thank goodness for Grawp!
90. Way to go Ron, Neville, Luna, and Ginny! Stick together and you might all survive…
91. Flying by thestral would be a bit creepy, just saying.
92. The Department of Mysteries sounds like it would be so interesting to explore!
93. You idiot! You stupid little idiot! Don’t do it!
94. Run. Just run and don’t look back. Run!
95. Neville, you are amazing. Just saying.
96. Sirius, nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
97. Oh, Dumbledore, help! Please explain things.
98. Harry, you need a good hug. *sends hugs via owl post*
99. Luna, I love your optimism. I wish I was more like you.
100. Great job, DA. Those Slytherin slugs deserved it.
101. Tee hee! Mad-Eye, way to go for intimidating the Dursleys. They needed that.

Just curious, were any of these reactions similar to your own?
