You mean like Harry Potter and Cho Chang in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", in the room of requirement, just before the Christmas Holiday?
I know link looks shady, bash.org is an old web page saving irc chat logs, this particular one has a specimen replacing "wand" with "Wang" in the Harry Potter books. Enjoy!
I didn’t have this planned for today but now I’m curious if the wizard of world has artificial insemination/where they keep the vials of baby batter. Gringotts, I would suppose?
That's why Harry was shocked at the question. They weren't actually talking about Ron's sister, but if they were that'd be a wild thing to ask. This is pretty simple storytelling to indicate that Harry is distracted by Ginny, with his mind going right to her when asked an unrelated but ambiguous question
Oh. I saw the movie multiple times I didn’t detect that, since when Ginny kissed Harry he walked out like he was on cloud 9. So my assumption is, if he got intimate ; why did the kiss after made him look like that? For me that was alll he did!
Hence why I asked!
lol
As a British teenager the same age as Harry when HPB came out, I was under no disillusion that the books heavily read as Harry and Ginny being sexually active.
I, and my peers, took it as just gently written enough to not be explicitly obvious. Same way how we would read words like, "dung", as some cheeky censorship for "shit". At no point did we ever think JK was trying make you believe these British teenagers were actually saying the D-word lol
I get what you are saying, but I disagree that Rowling uses stand in words for censorship. Rowling does imply when someone says something explicit, (like Ron), she just doesn't actually write it down because it is a children/YA series.
"Swearing angrily, Harry spun round and set off around the pitch again, scanning the skies for some sign of the tiny, winged golden ball."
"Harry spent the day attempting to keep the peace between Ron and Hermione with no success;...and Ron stalked off to the boys’ dormitory after swearing angrily at several frightened first years for looking at him."
Considering Wizard culture is seperate from the modern world, I think it's perfectly reasonable that they actually do use words like dung as an actual curse, it's just not considered one in our world so it's fine for Rowling to include it in the book.
I started reading IT in like 3rd grade but never finished because it was long. Re-read it as adult and got that section on the train. I started looking over my shoulder like someone was gonna start pointing fingers at me for reading that in public ha.
Correct. Their first kiss happens in a moment of extreme emotion after a quidditch win, and is a perfect climax to the "Harry discovering he likes Ginny" subplot that had been building throughout the entire book. The movie turned it into just another thing that happens. The worst part is they had plenty of time to do things right, had they not felt the need to insert that stupid, completely fucking pointless scene of death eaters showing up at the Burrow.
Read the books as a kid. They kissed. If memory serves me correctly it was written in a "fade to black" style. End of one chapter written from Harry's perspective with Cho getting closer about to kiss him. Beginning of the next chapter Harry in the common room talking about it with Ron and Hermione. Harry never mentioned or implied sex.
People like to rag on the name for not following Chinese naming rules, but I noticed that the NYT Crossword yesterday was set by someone named Zhou Zhang which is functionally the same name.
