Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Scene 17 Summary

  • Ron lost his rat. Way to go, Ron.
  • He accuses Hermione's cat of killing it. We thought orange cats only ate lasagna, not rats.
  • They speak to Hagrid, who had a hearing to attend about Buckbeak's fate.
  • Lucius Malfoy recommends the death sentence for Buckbeak. Dang, that's harsh.
  • That night, Harry scopes out the Marauder's Map and sees a name he never expected to see, the name of someone who is supposed to be dead.
  • No, John Lennon isn't visiting Hogwarts. But Peter Pettigrew is.
  • Harry tries to find Pettigrew, but he's intercepted by Snape.
  • Snape, whose disciplinary style is stop and frisk, demands Harry turn out his pockets.
  • The Marauder's Map is a blank sheet of parchment, and it won't reveal itself to Snape.
  • Lupin joins them in the hall and tells Snape he's sniffing up the wrong tree.
  • He says Harry isn't up to no good. (Solemnly swear.)
