GOF RE-READ (CHAPTERS 28-30)
* The Madness of Mr. Crouch
* The Dream
* The Pensieve
POSSIBLE DISCUSSION POINTS:
- S.P.E.W. and the treatment of house-elves in the wizarding community. Do you think that house elves are born with the desire to serve or that they are instead drilled with that belief from a young age?
- The Imperius Curse
- The memories in the Pensieve! What do you think of the way the trials are set up? Anything you found peculiar? How about the specific mentions of characters we have met in present-day (Karkaroff, Snape, Rita Skeeter, Mad Eye, and I think the Lestranges can count too as we met them in the next book). Also, the Pensieve as an object in general - how common do you think they are, the reliability of them for things like history books, etc.
- What do you think of the fact that JKR writes out both Viktor's and Fleur's accents? Do you find it offensive? Unnecessary? Distinctive?
NO OT, PLEASE! Have fun!
*In hindsight I probably should have made this post next Saturday, as I realize people have lives outside of this community and therefore might not be able to read three chapters in two days. Sorry! Hopefully people will still be able to comment.
