Harry was afraid of a venomous snake when the only real poison in the situation was his racism. – Harry’s mouth and eyes were constantly twitching; he refused to make any eye contact with Dr. Ganderbai. This is foreshadowing that Harry is going to burst.

Ganderbai carefully infuses chloroform underneath the bed sheet in an attempt to anesthetize the krait. Timber and the doctor then remove the sheet but no snake is found.

Timber Woods, the narrator, arrives home at his bungalow to discover his partner, Harry Pope, lying in bed and acting strangely. He tells Timber that a krait – an extremely poisonous little snake – crawled onto the bed and is now sleeping under the sheet on Harry’s stomach.

Harry’s outburst is completely inappropriate and displays arrogance and prejudice. The true poison in the story is exactly that: his vile, vehement and unfounded prejudice. The discovery that there was no snake at all is an anti-climax.

Krait bite and Harry’s words are symbolic of racism. The krait bite is symbolic of Harry’s venomous words.

The theme of Roald Dahl’s short story “Poison” is racism. Pope claims that he is in mortal danger because a deadly snake is crawling on his stomach underneath the sheets and he is too terrified to move.

Harry is the antagonist, the one who causes conflict for the protagonist. The ambiguity in the story, that starts in medias res, makes it difficult to know Harry’s motivation. On the one hand, Harry might have fallen asleep and dreamed the snake advancing across his torso.

Harry was afraid of a venomous snake when the only real poison in was his racism.

There is a possibility that there truly was a krait under the sheet. Indian krait is a species of venomous snakes found in the Indian subcontinent. It is mostly found in the jungles but it can also be found in people’s houses where warm places are abundant.

The exposition clearly begins with Timber pulling up to his friend Harry’s house around midnight to check on him. When Timber enters the house, he finds Harry very still and quiet in bed with a poisonous krait asleep on his stomach.

In September of 1996, Harry Potter won a small vial of Felix Felicis from Professor Slughorn for brewing the best Draught of Living Death potion in the class (using the instructions of Severus Snape’s textbook). The bottle would give Harry twelve hours of luck.

But the realisation about Cho having been dosed with truth potion came after Cho had been being shunned by her DA peers. In the book it’s heavily implied he was supplying her with a fake version of the potion that would not effect students she interrogated. Here it’s clear he was giving Umbridge the real deal.

Veritaserum was a powerful truth serum. The potion effectively forced the drinker to answer any questions put to them truthfully, though there were certain methods of resistance.

The night before the game, Harry has an idea about how to make Ron lucky. Hermione once again angrily accuses Harry of lacing Ron’s juice with Felix Felicis. Harry explains that he only pretended to spike Ron’s juice, because he knew just the suggestion of luck would be enough to give Ron the confidence he needed.

They kissed because of a mutual attraction/growing affection for one another. Ginny had liked Harry since she first saw him at King’s Cross when she was 10. And Harry had started having feelings for Ginny over the summer before his 6th year and throughout his 6th year.

So he pretends to pour liquid luck into Ron’s pumpkin juice when he knows Hermione will see. This helps to calm Ron’s nerves because he believes he is now lucky. It’s the placebo effect. Ron had some amount of natural Quidditch skills, but they were greatly overshadowed by his insecurity and his lack of confidence.

1. Ron and Hermione’s First Kiss. There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione’s arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth” (Deathly Hallows 625).

I think after the dance in the ball and she should have told ron as it was not a snog or something, he just touched her lips for 2 seconds, in which hermione replied as ‘not interested’ the matter would have veendum settled there without further probs of ron groping lavender at all the hogwarts corners, even though in …

Draco Malfoy had just taken Hermione Granger into his arms and was kissing her passionately. It wasn’t just that, though, it was also what he had said. These words were echoing over and over again in Hermione’s head.

Not unlikely. Doesn’t Harry reminisce about those times alone he spent with Ginny. I don’t have the quotes with me, but it could be interpreted as them having sex. It’s illegal to have sex in the UK under the age of 16.

Hermione Granger

Matthew Lewis (Neville) is actually okay looking when he is out of character, not Daniel Radcliffe, but he’s okay! Please close this thread. Even though the stars will probably never read it, its just plain mean. the ugliest person in harry potter is crabbe, and neville longbottom is just an idiot.

high maintenance Fleur

Ginny disliked her for her general attitude towards everything; she gave Fleur the nickname “Phlegm”. Its partly because it sounds similar to Fleur and partly to make fun of Fleur’s throaty accent.

Ginny hated her because Fleur was Harry was attracted to Fleur. Hermione hated her because Ron was attracted to Fleur. Molly weasley hated her because she hated Fleur’s attitude and thought Bill and her arr rushing into things. Overall, Fleur was a brave character who loved her husband.

After the two became amicable with one another, you’d think Cho and Harry might have had stayed in touch after vanquishing Voldemort, but that’s just not the case as Harry moved on to marrying Ginny, and it seems Cho was done with the Wizarding world altogether as she married a Muggle man.

Cho didn’t marry Dudley!
