Re: Gender roles, Dobby, national stereotypes, creepy magic and gobbledegook. Legolas Send a noteboard - 24/08/2010 02:27:51 PM
I am impressed with the enterprising girl asking the boys to the dance. Very egalitarian. They don't just hang around waiting to be asked. I like it. Of course, the girls that do this are described as somehow undesirable, so I am not sure where it all takes us.

In the wrong direction, I fear. :P I understand many American high schools have a special occasion called Sadie Hawkins dances, for which girls asking boys is the custom. And of course at modern parties it happens often enough. But here, as you say, it's not exactly seen as a good thing. I'm in awe of the second-year girl who has the guts to ask Harry, though... Ginny could take a leaf from her book. :P
I like how Dobby believes in non-matching socks. There may be some redemptive potential in him after all.

That's never going to work out with Winky! :P
(The British) Hogwarts is presented as the happy medium between the austerity of (the Slavic) Durmstrang and (the French) decadence of Beaubaxtons.

True.
Parvati is right that Moody using his eye to look through the clothes of students is somewhat on the creepy side.

As long as he only looks at their socks...
I like how Gobbledegook seems to be the name of the goblin language.

Yes, it is, has been mentioned before I think. It is quite amusing.
