Time for the OOTP humour poll. Vote for the scenes and comments you found most funny in OOTP.  Remember, you can vote for more than one option.  And do please add those that didn't make it into the poll for lack of space.

OotP is hilarious!! You forgot "What, am i supposed to be afraid of pillows or something?"
these are my favorite, they can always make me laugh: 'Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know.' 'Who d'you know who's lost a buttock ?' The violet haired woman asked Mad-eye interestedly. 'We've got to do something about her.' 'I suggested poison.' 'Personally, I would have welcomed a dementor attack. A deadly struggle for my soul would have broken the monotony nicely.' 'Oh, Ron, how wonderful ! That's everyone in the family.' 'What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours ?' said George indignantly. 'They didn't look anything like hats to me, more like woolly bladders.' 'Well, if you want to - er - what is it? - Oh yeah - "sever ties" with me, I swear I won't get violent.' 'Well, I dreamed I was playing Quidditch the other night,' said Ron. 'What d'you reckon that means ?' 'Probably that you're going to be eaten by a giant marshmallow or something.' 'I wonder,' said McGonagall in cold fury, 'how you expect to gain an idea of my usual teaching methods if you continue to interupt me ? I do not generally permit people to talk when i'm talking.' oh my gosh, there are so many!!... -------------------- Thanks to ravenclaw1028 for the awesome avatar!

If I had to choose one:
'My head of house said I lacked certain necessary qualities.' 'Like what ?' said Ginny. 'Like the ability to behave myself,' said Tonks. That's so me!

The best one I think would have to be, 'Oh, Ron, how wonderful ! That's everyone in the family.' 'What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours ?' said George indignantly. Its just so Fred ang George Who I absoloutly lovexD -------------------- "I do not believe in an afterlife, although I am bringing a change of underwear."-Woody Allen

I just can't vote. they're all much too funny!!
The funniest quotes I suppose would have to be: "It changes every day, you see." "What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours?" "We exceeded expectations just by turning up" "It's often infested with Nargles" "Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon" Oh, and we can't forget "Give her hell for us Peeves" and his salute. In fact, the whole annoying Umbridge part is brilliant! But I could list twenty or so more, OotP is proabably the funniest HP book.

I voted for everything except " 'Leave him alone,' Lily repeated. 'What's he done to you?' 'Well,' said James, appearing to deliberate the point, 'it's more the fact that he exists, if you know what I mean ...".....
The toughest poll ever!!!! *phew* -------------------- * Severus is our king * * He can save anything * * He made sure we won *

The funniest is “What are we, the next door neighbors?”
It’s not only how they say it but also Molly pushes the twins aside to give Ron a hug. I can picture the seen. The look of disbelief and disgust on their faces as Molly says “That make everyone in the family” as she pushes them aside. It makes me laugh just thinking about it! -------------------- "Yes, Harry blessed as I am with extraordinary
brainpower, I do understand everything you told me." "You may, perhaps, have wondered why I never chose you as a prefect? I must confess...that I rather thought... you had enough responsiblity to be going on with" ~ Albus Dumbledore ~ |

What a fantastic poll
 It was extremely difficult to choose. I always considered Order of the Phoenix to be a dark book, but I see there is a ton of humour too!!Funny comments :~ 'This is night, Diddykins. That's what we call it when it goes all dark like this.' I have always loved Dudley's nicknames - Popkins, Dudders etc - and Diddykins sums Dudley up for me! Harry is showing Dudley that he's not putting up with his bullying any more. 'Better wizards than you have lost buttocks, you know.' 'Who d'you know who's lost a buttock ?' The violet haired woman asked Mad-eye interestedly. This is so typical of the real "Mad-Eye", always on the look-out for danger. Moody and Tonks interact with each other so well, and it's such a hilarious comment, and so random! 'Oh, Ron, how wonderful ! That's everyone in the family.' 'What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours ?' said George indignantly. Poor Molly - so proud of her youngest son. It was a little unfair on the Twins, but Ron had never achieved much before, and it was a big thing, Ron being chosen as prefect. 'I'll make Goyle do lines, it'll kill him, he hates writing,' said Ron happily. 'I ... must ... not ... look ... like ... a ... baboon's ... backside.' I picked this comment because of the reaction of lovely Luna Lovegood. Luna finds Ron very funny, and it is such a Ron thing to say. Funny comments continued :~ 'I can't see any boils,' said Ron, staring at the twins. 'No, well, you wouldn't,' said Fred darkly, 'they're not in a place we genearlly display to the public. 'But they make sitting on a broom a right pain in the - ' It's such a typical Fred and George coment  It shows that they haven't got their Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes products right yet, and they are having to experiment on themselves. There again ... would you be a tester for Fred and George?  'May I offer you a cough drop, Dolores ?' This is by far my favourite in the whole of Order of the Phoenix. We can see McGonagall getting more and more exasperated by Umbridge, and she has been pushed too far, with Umbridge sitting in on Carrers Advice. In fact it is my favourite McGonagall quote! Funny scenes :~ Arabella Figg swatting Mundungus with her bag full of tins of cat food. I was totally thrown when Mrs Figgy, Harry's batty old neighbour, was revealed to be connected with the wizarding community. Ok, she's a Squib, but even so!! The interaction between Mundungus and Figgy was classic Jo - and Mundungus deserved it all! In the Hog's Head when the trio arrive there for the first meeting and there are veiled and bandaged and hooded people all over the place. I thought it was lovely how Harry was so surprised at all the people who turned up - he didn't realise that so many people wanted to have him as his teacher. Umbridge and Filch trying in vain to stop Fred and George's fireworks spreading all over Hogwarts. Who could ever forget the classic Give her Hell from us Peeves and Fred and George flying off into the sunset?

There was so much hilarious in the way of lines in this books, that I had a hard time deciding, such a hard time in fact that I did not remember what I had chosen.

'I'll make Goyle do lines, it'll kill him, he hates writing,' said Ron happily. 'I ... must ... not ... look ... like ... a ... baboon's ... backside.'
'Well, I dreamed I was playing Quidditch the other night,' said Ron. 'What d'you reckon that means ?' 'Probably that you're going to be eaten by a giant marshmallow or something.' 'I've always thought that Fred and I should've got "E" in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams.' 'One person can't feel all that at once, they'd explode.' 'Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon, doesn't mean we all have,' said Hermione nastily. OotP had so many hilarious lines. I must say though, the scene that I found the funniest was the one with Harry and Dudley's gang. Big D, Harry was at its best when it came to humor in that scene. I loved his sarcasm. -------------------- The weapon we have is Love |
