And while I very much like Snape, he has had the most opportunity to mature - what with being a teacher of children at a school and therefore in a relatively safe, secure environment surrounded by peers instead of ostracized as a werewolf or, say, locked up in Azkaban.

Or that Percy, having just won 10 galleons from Penny for winning the match, might have donated something. I'd much rather think that than think the twins were stealing. And you're right about the butter beer -- unless it's also sold at Honeydukes (and my local candy shops sell interesting sodas, but it's a stretch), they *would* have had to go out into the town. <br /><br />I tried hard to look for something good to illustrate Harry's head being in hogsmeade to go with Snape's snarkiness but I failed. <br /><br />Re: the time turner. yes, i agree. you either have to accept it in this world or not, otherwise too much time is spent trying to figure out what the what in terms of the linearity or circularity of time.

You would assume that they stole it since surely the Honeydukes owners would contact the school, but they also bring back Butterbeer so that means going to the 3 Broomsticks and that'd mean going through the shop and without a bunch of students or Harry's handy cloak surely they'd be pretty easy to spot? <br /><br />I don't know, I think JK just wanted to have a little nod to the map between the twins and Harry and didn't really think about the ramifications - because come next book they get all their goodies from the House Elves in the kitchen. <br /><br />"'What would your head have been doing in Hogsmeade, Potter?' Snape said softly. 'Your head is not allowed in Hogsmeade. No part of your body has permission to be in Hogsmeade.'" < Snape is so sassy. I love him.<br /><br />I am a bad sci-fi fan because as soon as time travel is introduced I just accept it (unless it's REALLY bad)because I end up hurting my head because it's so easy to get lost in all the paradoxes that are present the second time travel is mentioned. So there are definite issues with the time-tuner in this book, but I just shrug and go "what evs, JK, I'll follow this if you keep it down to a bare minimum and save my brain"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-89118913098574518022013-02-15T16:58:00.354-05:002013-02-15T16:58:00.354-05:00Snape.
