A few random HBP thoughts

[owl]

Am I the only person who thought that the Weasleys might think that Fleur had been using her Veela attraction and Bill and that was why the relationship went so fast? Ron certainly still goes all wibbly around her. I didn't think it was just FrenchBitchZMGBBQ!1

Ron failing his Apparition because he left half his eyebrow behind, LOL! It's comforting to those of us who have failed our driving tests.

Lavender is a chav! That gold 'My Sweetheart!' necklace! LOL.

In the ITV interview '- Jk says that Ravenclaw will have their day *taps nose*'
Yay 'Claws! (I'm one, you know). Does this mean more Luna? Yay!



Also, is anyone else not getting comment notifications by email? HP has broken LJ!!

Aye, I think that the Weasleys might have thought that. Though it seemed that Ron's hormones hit a fair Mt. Everest-sized spike over the summer. Since when did he have a crush on Rosmerta?

*shall take driving test in a month's time* Damn.

*laughs* I took it more like, "OMG, golden CHAIN?? Kinky slave play much??" before I took the opportunity to wash my brain out in cold water.

Golden chains with dangling words like 'Mum' or, indeed, 'My Sweetheart' are quite common in Britian, but they do suggest the wearer/buyer had no taste whatsoever.

Wow, that makes so much more sense than ... yes. :P Sorry. Nothing like that in the 'States, as far as I can recall. Unless you want a tattoo.

He did blush when the trio were at T3B during their 3rd year and he said he would go get the drinks from her. I always assumed he crushed on her then, too--one of those older women things. ;)

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

Yeah and it made its way into the POA script as well. Ron does seem to have a thing for older women, doesn't he? LOL

*laughs* Rosmerta is a MILF! :p

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

*curious* What does MILF stand for? :D

Mother I'd Like to F... ;)

I guess in this case, it should be MRWLTF (mother Ron would like to...), but yeah. *eg*

I don't know--Veela attraction seems to have fairly obvious symptoms. That is, men under Veela-spells that we've seen have been a) in their teens (Arthur's not affected and I think we're supposed to get that adult men are usually not), and b) acting in an obviously silly manner, with mouths hanging open and eyes glazed and that kind of thing. So it seems to me that if Bill were under a Veela-spell, the Weasleys would be able to tell right off--and he's probably too old to be susceptible to Veela charms in any case.

And the Weasleys didn't complain about Fleur being part-veela or even hint anything like that. They said and implied that she was an arrogant airhead, not that Bill was acting under coercion.

Besides, Veela attraction doesn't seem like the kind of thing that can last for over a year when a poke in the shoulder can snap you out of it. Especially since Fleur's only a quarter-veela.

The referee at the World Cup seemed to suffer from it too.

Well, Arthur is happily married, and might therefore be less susceptible to Veela charms. It might not have as much to do with age as with a person's mental state.

Uh, the above (or below?) anonymous comment was me.

*does the happy Ravenclaw dance*

We are the best House evah!

[ravenclaw-devi.livejournal.com]

Yay, Ravenclaw!

[yubsie]

Because Ravenclaw ALWAYS calls for dancing. :p

LOL I had that same thought!

[ravenclaw-devi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, now that you're saying it, I think JKR was pretty much thinking of Apparition tests as the wizarding world's equivalent of driving tests. Note how you have to be seventeen to take them...

[owl]

Yes, and they both get you from place to place.

[ravenclaw-devi.livejournal.com]

Hm, I think the Weasleys were less worried about "OMG, Veela!" and more about Fleur being a superficial airhead. Note how Mrs Weasley came around when Fleur still loved Bill even after the werewolf messed up his handsome face (thus proving that she isn't superficial).

[owl]

Either way I don't think it's as simple as WTFFrenchBitch!!1
