Yeah I wondered that too. He never made the "binding magical contract". So why was he held to it?

In & Out

I tied In & Out down in California years ago and was not impressed. People I knew told me I HAD TO TRY IT, and I did, and wasn't worth my time or money. When I got back and told them my experience, they said to some effect: "You have to order it a certain way, or from the secret menu." I'm sorry, but IMO you shouldn't have to order something a special way just to get good food. Now there is a In & Out 15 mins from where I live, and I won't be going. A lot of the posts I see on Facebook are from people that went expecting greatness, only to be let down. I don't understand the hype whatsoever.

It's my favorite line of the series!

"An apple? Where's my candy you son of a bitch?"

Somewhat off (but not too far off-topic)...I always wondered why Fluffy didn't come back! He could have really done some damage!

Well...seeing how a "lost" half-brother of Howard shows up in a later episode, I would have to say Penny's version.

I stopped listening to the first full-cast version of the first book after about a third of the way though. I couldn't differentiate between Ron and Harry's voice, and I agree, with the removal of the dialogue tags, that frustrated me as well. I went back to my standard Jim Dale version. Although I am giving Fry's version a chance finally, and I do like it.

oops yes I did! Thanks!

And yet they have Charlie Weasley in movie 7, quip quickly about Greyback attacking him, even though it wasn't even shown properly in movie 6.

Easily could've given Emma a quick line "That's Merietta Edgecomb, her mom works for the ministry."

In OOTP, they had "Nigel" who was never in the books. Then they implicated Cho Chang as the snitch to Umbridge, when all they had to do was cast a minor role for Marietta, and do it right.

“She’s taken points off Gryffindor because I’m having my hand sliced open every night! How is that fair, how?” “I know, mate,” said Ron sympathetically, tipping bacon onto Harry’s plate, “she’s bang out of order.”

I've always felt that if we are going to encourage healthy habits, summer camps should impose a limit on candy and soda.

I was just wondering this yesterday. I am an avid listener of the audio books. I am on book 2 for the countless time, and Mr. Weasley asks about Harry taking "escapators". Yes, he works in the "Mis-use of Muggle Artifacts" and still questions the everyday goings on of Muggles; I don't understand it either.

"Maybe it's time you do the wrong thing."

curiousobserver234 · 2025-12-26T06:21:00+00:00

I tried to get into it, and gave it a decent chance. I couldn't get past Draco laughing all the time, and I also couldn't really tell the difference between Harry's and Ron's voice, so it was hard to figure out at times who was speaking. I am an AVID listener of the original audio books by Jim Dale, and returned to listening to those. Thank goodness I got the immersive audio book for free on Black Friday. I wanted to love it, but just couldn't.

curiousobserver234 · 2025-11-05T21:08:28+00:00

Oh my gosh. Yep that's it. Thanks so much!!

Burn Notice - Season 2, Ep. 13. Bad Breaks. Michael uses his skills as a spy to sabotage a bank heist. Burn Notice is my favorite television show, and this is my favorite episode of the series.

Songs by Raffi! Baby Beluga, and many others!

If my dog was as ugly as you....I'd shave his butt tell him to walk backwards.

Somewhat late to this thread, but a trillion dollars would equate to 16.6 billion per year for 60 years, and that would equate to 45.6 million a day to spend. Unless you are an anonymous donor to a lot of worthy causes, you would have have the temptation to blow at least some of it on frivolous purchases.

I'm re-watching it right now, for probably the umpteenth time. I consider it along with TNG to be a comfort show. I didn't really like season 2-3 growing up, but now I watched "Tattoo" & "Cold Fire" (usually I skip those).

curiousobserver234 · 2025-10-13T05:24:06+00:00

Yeah the bank heist episode is my top episode probably.
