Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality/Funny: Difference between revisions

"I wasn't talking to you," said the Hat. "I was Sorting Harry Potter into the place in Hogwarts where he most belongs, namely the Headmaster's office -" }}

* "When you try to find the Great Hall, you will get lost." Penelope stated this in the tones of a flat, unarguable fact. "As soon as you do, ask a portrait how to get to the first floor. Ask another portrait the instant you suspect you might be lost again. Especially if it seems like you're going up higher and higher. If you are higher than the whole castle ought to be, stop and wait for search parties. Otherwise we shall see you again three months later and you will be two years older and dressed in a loincloth and covered in snow and that's if you stay inside the castle."

{{quote|"And everyone with secret orders, make sure you carry them out ''to the letter''," said Draco.

Around half his soldiers ''openly nodded'', and Draco marked them for death after he rose to power. }}

* The first offered explanation for Susan's dramatic power increase in chapter 73, proving that not all houses can be as cool as Slytherin:

{{quote|"Yeah," said Parvati, voice only slightly shaky as she stood up and started to brush off her red-trimmed robes, "it turns out that Susan Bones is the Heir of Hufflepuff and she's opened up the long-lost entrance to Helga Hufflepuff's Chamber of Hard Work and Practice."}}

"Was permanently sacrificed to fuel a ritual which but briefly manifested your presence," said Professor Quirrell. "I suppose we will discover tomorrow whether anyone took that seriously, when we read the newspapers and see whether all the magical nations of the world are banding together in a desperate effort to seal off your incursion into our reality." }}

* Harry scaring a Dementor away by saying, "BOO!". Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

{{quote|'''Harry:''' I make you this one offer. I never learn that you've been interfering with me or any of mine. And you never find out why the unkillable soul-eating monster is scared of me. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Now sit down and shut up.]]}}

* A very serious talk in Chapter 84 in which Harry comforts Hermione about everyone thinking she {{spoiler|tried to murder Draco Malfoy}}, ends with this:

{{quote|'''Harry:'''Oh, and Ron Weasley came up to me, looking very serious, and told me that if I saw you first, I should tell you that he's sorry for having thought badly of you, and he'll never speak ill of you again.
