This seen tickles me so!
I told Zach is we have kids I hope they are like Harry, Hermione, and Ron. *lol*

From the website at which I found this still photo:
One of the best lines in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is brief, but it does a lot to explain why these films are as good as they are – which, by the standards of kid’s entertainment, is very good indeed. Long-standing friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and title star Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) are feuding, and Ron has asked third-party Hermione (Emma Watson) to convey some information to Harry, even though Ron and Harry are standing about 20 feet apart. Hermione explains how someone told Ron that Hogwarts gamekeeper Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) wants to see Harry, and Harry snaps back how Hermione can tell Ron that … and Hermione explodes with tears, crying out her frustration at how foolish her dear friends are being and the hurt it’s causing: “I’m not an owl!” :)

I love so much about this movie: the snow falling in the Great Hall at Christmas, little frantic Doby, Hermione turning into a cat, Moaning Myrtle, Filch freaking out about Mrs. Norris, a young Hagrid looking like he should be in The Cure (according to my husband), a nice Percy, the flying car, Ron's broken wand backfiring, Gilderoy Lockhart, Ron's cowardly heart (although I can't blame him for hating spiders), Ginny's squeal upon seeing Harry at the breakfast table. :)

I could go on and on and on...

I do not like the skittering of the spiders over the forest floor. *ick*

I stand by my opinion that it's a book (at least partially) examining race: mudbloods, purebloods, muggles, squibs, half-giants, centaurs, etc.
