Deathly Hallows uberwank: Chapter 15, The Goblin's Revenge
"The goblin's revenge" sounds like a real ale, or possibly a euphemism for what happens to you the day after you eat a goblin curry. :-/

Me too - I'm more or less indifferent to any Harry het pairings, but I figure if he's going to be with paired up with someone, I'd've preferred it to be someone who brings out his good qualities, encourages him to think, isn't conventional and all the rest of it. I can't see Luna silently accepting that snog in front of an entire common room either. Sigh.
surely there should be classes in Latin and English as well as other languages, Muggle Studies should be complusory for the wizard born and Muggle born first years should have some sort of Wizarding Culture class where they can learn about traditions and how write with quills?
YES YES YES. It's bothered me for a long time that they don't learn Latin, given that they use it in almost every spell. And it seems kind of pointless that they do astronomy too - the only purpose seems to be so that there can be classes at midnight and therefore show how crazy and mixed-up the wizarding world is. Your point about muggleborn kids is an excellent one. And why an entire class for transfiguration? When was the last time any character turned anything into anything?
I guess this is because all the classes were devised for PS/SS which is very much A Children's Book, so there doesn't need to be any logic - why wouldn't a wizard school work that way? And then you get to this book and, er, they don't know how to feed themselves. *Headdesk*
