Hufflepuff as Cups, Ravenclaw as Swords. I like Gryffindor as Wands, but Slytherin as the Pentacles doesn't really fit...

I like Gryffindor as wands too. That's what I originally thought for them. Pentacles is the most materialistic of the suits, and Slytherin is about ambition, so it could work. But Pentacles is also about growth and harvest...and more down to earth than Slytherin.

Well, except there's the Sword of Gryffindor. And didn't Hufflepuff have a cup as it's icon? With coins/wands for Ravenclaw/Slytherin, I can see arguments both ways, as well as arguments against.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Maybe make Strength be a Patronus?

K said it's "a girl with a lion." Does anyone have a lion Patronus?
I'm guessing she chose Ginny because she had already used Hermione once.

Ginny's spells are also shown to be unusually strong.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't know from Tarot, but it is interesting to compare the choices between the first two links. I like the descriptions in the third link.

I liked that they showed that in the movie of OotP, and also showed Harry's very impressed reaction to her spells. A nice foreshadowing for the next film.
