Recently I noticed how widespread the motif of the severed head is in Potterverse. I am beginning to suspect this detail can tell us more about the future of “Harry Potter” – will Harry and Voldemort keep their heads?

So, what does the title, “Hermione’s punishment”, even mean?
Well, it all started when I read OotP and started thinking about Hermione’s character and how much she was changing from the earlier books. She started out as a know-it-all with very poor social skills in PS/SS, and I found her both charming and pitiable. She doesn’t know how the game is played between people her own age, which shows in the relationships she forms and doesn’t form. She knows how to satisfy adults (the teachers), but not her classmates. It’s primarily through Harry and Ron that she starts to really socialize with the other children, it seems.

A fair number of classes, including Care of Magical Creatures, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Divination are so poorly taught and conducted that it would seem that legal action on the part of parents would be called for.
Today’s article is going to take a closer look on the Trelawney prophecy, or, more precisely, on the circumstances surrounding that prophecy and what they tell us.
First thing to note: What Dumbledore told Harry in OotP and HBP doesn’t tally with what else we discover in HBP. At all.
