To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah, he would have said something, surely.

Judging from his post, the big IT will greet him the next time he starts his car.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm now relistening to POA and Dobby has just confessed to Harry about making him miss the train to school, necessitating the disastrous flying of the Ford Anglia. Ironed hands! Oh my. Poor wibble hero.

Dobby always annoyed me. Supercilious little sycophant.

I kind of found myself liking Kreacher in the end.

end heresy

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Dobby always annoyed me. Supercilious little sycophant.

That's the thing, though. I was totally annoyed by Dobby too, but his death still hit me hard.

I kind of found myself liking Kreacher in the end.

Me too.

I was annoyed with movie Dobby, but always liked him in the books. I also really liked Kreacher by the end. Loved that he was in the fight at the end on the right side!

Once it was proved to Kreacher that Master Sirius was a worthy master, he was happy.

I got the impression he wasn't reading at all (and the next time he comes to post, he'll have read that part anyway), but okay.

Just to be sure, it's probably worth being circumspect. Particularly since we're all enjoying a vicarious re-read through Gud's synopses.

move out and draw fire

I like the way Gud is thinking about the book as he reads it. Maybe that's the benefit of an audiobook, or doing it in stages rather than one fell swoop, but I think it's just a difference between him and me. I sat back for the ride, so I'm enjoying it SO MUCH when Gud wonders about the Horcruxes or the significance of something.

It's better than if I re-read it myself.
