laviviToday is the second-year anniversary of the fifth book's birth into
bookstores all over the world. (Or it will be in less than an
hour - give me some slack.) I'll always remember it because eight
hours after we picked it up at midnight, my parents were married.
Or actually, that's a lie - five days ago, I just remembered their
anniversary because the fifth book's anniversary was coming up, and I
had a Yahoo!reminder sent to me.
Anyway. I am a faithful reader of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
daily_snitch, and I've read a
lot of essays and rants and discussions and things on...a lot of things
about the books. Not necessarily just the fifth book.
But on this anniversary of the fifth book, and as we pass into the final month before the sixth book, I would like to conduct a little survey. Especially relying on how many of us are re-reading the fifth book, in preparation for New Canon.
What are your favorite passages, quotes, scenes, etc. from the fifth book? What you liked the best, thought were the most profound, thought were the best written.
*bows out, and goes to put the finishing touches on a certain anniversary gift*

F&G: "Hello Harry, we thought we heard your dulcet tones."
Lupin and Sirius struggling to close the curtains while Mother Black screams abuse at them. Awk. WARD.
Kreacher. I know he's awful, but his not-so-sotto voce cracks me the hell up.
Ron, exulting in Harry's vindication: "I knew it! You always get away with stuff!" I love Ron. After the Divination OWL: "From now on I don't care if my tea leaves spell 'die, Ron, die.'"
Luna crushing on Ron and Ron being clueless.
The Quibbler. I'd subscribe if I could.
Kitten plates.
St. Mungo's. The third floor treats "Rashes, regurgitation, and uncontrollable giggling." The return of Gilderoy Lockhart (and his joined-up writing).
Mounted elf heads wearing Santa hats.
