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? Members are welcome to post queries in this thread. The moderators are able to answer such queries by posting the exact quote from the book, page number, Chapter, and edition of book. Please allow forty eight hours from posting for answering your queries. If by that time moderators are unable to find the correct reference, then other members who know the answer can feel free to post their answer, citing their online references where applicable or the exact page number, chapter, and the details of which edition of the book the quote came from, including whether it was hardback, paperback, film or translated version. SOURCES: These are the British editions I would be using: 1. Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Paperback film edition, London, Bloomsbury, 2001 2. Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Paperback edition. London, Bloomsbury, 1998. 3. Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Paperback edition. London, Bloomsbury, 1999. 4.

Madame Pince's House Elf Posts: 4,607 Joined: 5:46pm January 28, 2005 Location: In HP Book Club 4, awaiting the HBP film's release	QUOTE(weasley is my king @ Feb 25 2007, 03:40 AM) [snapback]1113758[/snapback] 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: Here you are: 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. The above quote comes from: Order of the Phoenix, Brit Hardback ed. p. 215. Ch. 13 (Professor Umbridge) It is in Harry and Ron's first Divination lesson after they had one with Snape and before they went to Professor Umbridge's first DADA lesson. 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." This one comes from: Prisoner of Azkaban, Brit paperback ed. p. 181, Ch.12. (The Patronus). It is after Harry's first Patronus lesson with Lupin, and a page after the results of the Ravenclaw/Slytherin match. -------------------- Check out the Beedle the Bard Book Club

It is the detention Seamus Finnegan gets from Flitwick in the first Charms lesson after the Christmas break when Seamus had been discussing forthcoming Apparition lessons with Harry etc. -------------------- Check out the Beedle the Bard Book Club

I know it's somewhere in GoF but I've just looked through four chapters and haven't found it yet. Thanks. -------------------- "My idea of good company, Mr Elliott, is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company."

No wonder I couldn't find it - I assumed it must have been after the other two schools arrived at Hogwarts!

Cauldron Bottom Measurer Posts: 103 Joined: 12:10pm February 15, 2007 Location: Searching beyond the veil for Sirius....	Thanks to all who helped me with my queries. I was just curious as to whether the twins took over Gambol and Japes in Diagon Alley, only because we haven't heard about that particular Joke shop since early on in the series. It's probably not even mentioned in HBP. Maybe someone has better insight. It's not very important to the series I know, but I just got caught up in my curiosity.

Shopping the sales rack at Madam Malkins Posts: 2,547 Joined: 4:26pm August 4, 2005	I have a query that's bugged me for a while, mainly because someone asked for the actual reference and I couldn't find it. Did Molly Weasley ever utter words to the effect that she would have been happy to adopt Harry but DD wouldn't hear of it? If so, which book/chapter/page? I have a vague memory of this, but I could easily be misremembering. And I think it's in one of the later books (ie. 4, 5 or 6) so just somewhere within 2000 pages or so! If I am misremembering, is there a quote that's on a similar subject, or is it a total figment of my vivid imagination? I remember thinking that that would have made Harry her seventh son (and it's unlikely she'd have had Ginny??) -------------------- "My idea of good company, Mr Elliott, is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company."

I remember thinking that that would have made Harry her seventh son (and it's unlikely she'd have had Ginny??) I think that what you are referring to is the debate between Sirius Black and Molly Weasley about how much Harry needs to be told about the Order of the Phoenix and Voldemort. This started on p.83 and goes to p. 85. OotP, Brit hardback ed. Ch. 5 (The Order of the Phoenix). On p. 85, Molly and Sirius say: QUOTE 'Well,' said Mrs Weasley, breathing deeply and looking around the table for support that did not come. 'well...I can see that I am going to be overruled. I'll just say this: Dumbledore must have had his reasons for not wanting Harry to know too much, and speaking as someone who has Harry's best interests at heart -' 'He's not your son,' said Sirius, quietly. 'He's as good as,' said Mrs Weasley, fiercely. 'Who else has he got?' 'He's got me!' 'Yes', said Mrs Weasley, her lips curling, 'the thing is, it's been rather difficult for you to look after him while you've been locked up in Azkaban.' This might not be the exact one you meant, and I will look further elsewhere. But it is getting close to what you may have meant. -------------------- Check out the Beedle the Bard Book Club

I remember thinking that that would have made Harry her seventh son (and it's unlikely she'd have had Ginny??) Ginny was already 2 months old when Harry's parents died, so not having her wasn't an option. But I think you are misremembering. There are a number of places where Molly is motherly towards Harry - in GoF (last page of chapter 36) she hugs Harry like a mother, in OotP ch. 5 UK p. 85 Molly says Harry is as good as her son in the argument with Sirius, and Dumbledore says at the end of OotP ch. 37 UK p736 that many wizarding families would have gladly taken Harry in and raised him as a son, though no families are specifically mentioned.
