Do you find you can't remember where you saw a particular incident in any of the Harry Potter books? Or have you forgotten who said what to whom and when? While some may find it easy to remember what significant characters like Severus Snape did and said, who remembers where Gamble and Japes played a part in the Harry Potter novels? Or who can find where Crups were mentioned?

OK, well then, I guess I'll go first.
 At some point, probably in the last two books, Dumbledore tells Harry how sometimes neglect can be worse than outright hostility, or something very close to it. When is that? I always want to use that quote and I can't quite ever find it (short of actually re-reading the whole book(s)). -------------------- “Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain.” -Alfred, Lord Tennyson |

QUOTE(PAM2002 @ Feb 21 2007, 11:58 PM) [snapback]1110017[/snapback] OK, well then, I guess I'll go first.

I always want to use that quote and I can't quite ever find it (short of actually re-reading the whole book(s)).Thanks for christening the service.  The quote you were seeking comes from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, p.715 British edition, from Chapter 37, The Lost Prophecy. The full quote is:(And on pages 834-835 US Hardcover edition. ~Shard) 'Sirius did not hate Kreacher,' said Dumbledore. 'He regarded him as a servant unworthy of much interest or notice. Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike... the fountain we destroyed told a lie. We Wizards have mistreated and abused our fellows for too long, and we are now reaping our reward.'

Crups are mentioned in Fantastic Beasts of course, but also in OotP, eg. UK p.289 (ch 15) when Grubbly-Plank is outlining her lesson plans to Umbridge. I don't remember offhand where the Gamble & Japes reference is.
ETA: Found it. Gambol [sic] and Japes Wizarding Joke Shop in Diagon Alley CoS UK pb p. 48 (ch 4). This post has been edited by roonwit: Feb 22 2007, 04:52 PM --------------------  W.L.Y.J. We love you Jo |

Did Zonko's have a shop in Diagon Alley, where did twins open their shop? I remember reading they took over Zonko's old shop. Could be wrong.

Zonko's shop was in Hogsmeade, the Twins had their shop in Diagon Alley. they wanted to buy out Zonko but hadn't yet done so as far I could tell.

QUOTE(Ravenclaws Son @ Feb 24 2007, 07:56 AM) [snapback]1112980[/snapback] Did Zonko's have a shop in Diagon Alley? Where did twins open their shop? I remember reading they took over Zonko's old shop. Could be wrong. Question 1. Zonko's did not have a shop in Diagon Alley. The Diagon Alley shop was Gambol and Japes, as Roonwit said earlier. Question 2. The Weasley twins opened their shop at 93 Diagon Alley. The reference is: Order of the Phoenix, p. 594-595, Chapter 29 (Careers Advice), British hardback ed. QUOTE Fred looked around at the assembled students, at the silent, watchful crowd. "If anyone fancies buying a Portable Swamp as demonstrated upstairs, come to number ninety-three, Diagon Alley - Weasley's Wizard Wheezes', he said in a loud voice. 'Our new premises.' Question 3. No the Weasleys did not take over Zonko's Hogsmeade premises, but they did consider it as Shard pointed out in the previous post. These are the references to it in Half-Blood Prince, British hardback edition, which tell what happened to Zonko's Joke Shop. 1. p.228, Chapter 12 (Silver and Opals) QUOTE The walk into Hogsmeade was not enjoyable......and when they finally reached Hogsmeade and saw that Zonko's Joke Shop had been boarded up, Harry took it as confirmation that this trip was not destined to be fun. 2. p. 374, Chapter 19 (Elf tails) QUOTE 'There we were in Hogsmeade, waiting to surprise him -' said George.
'You were in Hogsmeade?' said Ginny, looking up. 'We were thinking of buying Zonko's', said Fred, gloomily. 'A Hogsmeade branch, you know, but a fat lot of good it'll do us if you lot aren't allowed out at weekends to buy our stuff any more....but never mind that now'. -------------------- Check out the Beedle the Bard Book Club |

I'd say I knew a fair few quotes from the books and I don't really have a problem remembering the wording but I am hopeless at remembering page numbers.
I was wondering if you could find the page numbers for these quotes: QUOTE "Well, I had one that I was playing Quidditch the other night," said Ron, screwing up his face in an effort to remember. "What do you think that means?" "Probably that you're going to be eaten by a giant marshmallow or something," said Harry, turning the pages of The Dream Oracle without interest. QUOTE "Bad news, Harry. I've just been to see Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt. She – er got a bit shirty with me. Told me I'd got my priorities wrong. Seemed to think I cared more about winning the Cup than I do about staying alive. Just because I told her I didn't care if it threw you off, as long as you caught the Snitch first." QUOTE "I am a wizard, not a baboon brandishing a stick."
