Oooh... I love Fred and George in this book. They have some of the best lines and I absolutely love their exit. I was secretly wishing for some Fred and George style fireworks on the fourth. ;)
Of course, equally as delicious as Fred and George leaving is McGonagall's 'it unscrews the other way' comment to Peeves a bit later on (and since I saw a post earlier that said you've finished, I know you'll have read that far now).
McGonagall also kicked butt in this book and she easily moved into the place of my favourite female character.
I know what you mean. McGonagall suddenly seemed cool to me in this book, whereas before her character wasn't that interesting. THe same thing wiht Fed & George.
Probably because we simply got to see more of Fred & George so we got to know their characters better and with McGonagall, well we actually got to see her show some emotion, which mostly she doesn't in the other books. She gives out detentions and is stern and strict, but not much emotion-but in this book she takes Harry's side, if not actively, shows concern about Umbridge, frustration with the MoM, etc. Anyway... she did become much cooler. ;)
