DH Audiobook & Hermione

[lightofdaye]

So I've been following up my listening to the Half Blood Prince audio book with listening to Stephen Fry read Deathly Hallows, and while I'm not usually one to go for the "lol wand = penis" thing, this quote out of context did make me snigger:

"No wonder I can't get it out, Hermione, you packed my old jeans, they're tight"

Plot bunny for anyone who's actually capable of writing right now: Hermione likes seeing Ron in tight jeans but it causes problems later.

The other thing I've been noticing, that i'd seen commented on before and not really seen when reading to the books; is how different Hermione seems. As it she quite frequently seems to panic, or mess up or just plain burst into tears. I've only reached the bit where they're talking to Kreacher at Grimmauld place but still.

I don't know whether its supposed to show that Harry's the real hero and not her, or show that she's not coping as well with out the safety net of dumbledore/being at school, or just its done inadvertently while showing off how's Ron is now trying to be sensitive and supportive and all that jazz.

But it does strike me as weird.

Also, remember how she panicked during her third year defense against the dark arts exam? She couldn't even get rid of the bogart because it told her that she was going to fail her exams.

Ahahaha, I'd forgotten about that one. I recently re-read HBP and was giggling at her neuroticism over receiving their O.W.L. scores. The fact that she had a fresh black eye in that scene was just icing on the cake.

That was a rather well done scene, lol.
