My mom's over in the corner re-reading the sixth Harry Potter book, and she just starts laughing and laughing! So, naturally, I ask her what was so funny (of course). And she says:
"How does she come up with this stuff? I mean, listen to this: Harry and Ron are trying to get somewhere, 'and they were temporarily detained by Peeves, who had jammed a door on the fourth floor shut and was refusing to let anyone pass until they set fire to their own pants. But they conveniently dodged it by ducking through one of their shortcuts.' "
And later, Neville had to get a new pair of pants because he burned his trying to get through the door.
And in the same chapter:
'A little way to his left, Ernie Macmillan was contemplating his hoop so hard that his face had turned pink; it looked as though he was straining to lay a Quaffle-sized egg. '
'Friends they might be, but if Ron started calling Lavender "Lav-Lav," he would have to put his foot down.'
How can you resist a book series when they are all littered with lines like those!
