This is a meme started by Uncorked Thoughts which aims to share with fellow bloggers a weekly slice of HP awesomeness. It is an awesomeness that only increases with time and number of reads. Once a week we will share a character, spell, chapter, object, quote etc. from the books/films/J. K. Rowling (or anything Potter related)! Each topic will be posted on Uncorked Thoughts HERE. There will also be free weeks where everyone can share whatever topic they want! Be sure to share your link on the main site for all other HP MOTW fans to enjoy!
This Week’s Theme: Free Week, You Choose!
So I’d just like to take a moment to talk about this part of the books:
Haha! This is the part of the books that made me laugh longer, and harder, than any other. It was just amazing. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince just starts out so grim and this moment just made everything better.
“Set against the dull, poster-muffled shop fronts around them, Fred and George’s windows hit the eye like a firework display. Casual passersby were looking back over their shoulders at the windows, and a few rather stunned-looking people had actually come to a halt, transfixed. The left-hand window was dazzlingly full of an assortment of goods that revolved, popped, flashed, bounced, and shrieked; Harry’s eyes began to water just looking at it…
Harry started to laugh. He heard a weak sort of moan beside him and looked around to see Mrs. Weasley gazing, dumbfounded, at the poster. Her lips moved silently, mouthing the name ‘U-No-Poo.'” – pg 116
Well, that’s really all I’ve got for ya! Just a small moment of sweet HP goodness! I hope you enjoyed it, and please, feel free to share your own favorite moments in the comments below!
That was so funny! I like your “pick” haha.

I was really glad the twins were doing so well seeing how DA was basically shut down, shops vandalized, people hiding… It was a relief to see jokes and read about their success. 🙂
Good pick!

I know, and when I read it, it was so unexpected, that moment. But so awesome. Thanks for stopping by!

This was a great Fred and George moment! I think almost every time I laughed while reading the books was because of them, my favorite scene being the aftermath of their Portable Swamp in Order of the Phoenix. 🙂

Such a hilarious moment! You’re right…everything was gloom and doom and that bit of outrageous humor shook things up a bit. I love Fred and George’s ability to make me laugh so much! Great pick 😀
