Quote #4
RON WEASLEY: Those are Nimbus Two Thousand Ones. How did you get those?
MARCUS FLINT: A gift from Draco's father.
DRACO MALFOY: You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best.
HERMIONE GRANGER: At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent.
DRACO MALFOY: No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood.
Okay, so not only is Draco pointing out that he's an upper class wizard who's dad is way richer than anyone else in the vicinity, he's also no stranger to throwing out nasty slurs. Draco calls Hermione a Mudblood to let her know that he thinks she's beneath him in magical purity as well. Oh, it's on.
Quote #5
HERMIONE GRANGER: He called me a Mudblood.
RUBEUS HAGRID: He did not.
HARRY POTTER: What's a Mudblood?
HERMIONE GRANGER: It means "dirty blood." Mudblood's a foul name for someone who's Muggle-born. Someone with non-magic parents. Someone like me. It's not a term one usually hears in civilized conversation.
And now we get an explanation of what exactly a Mudblood is. It's basically the wizard version of every nasty not-fit-to-print name you can think to call someone. And it's all about who has the most wizards in their family and the "purest" magical blood. It's all pretty gross if you ask us.
Quote #6
GILDEROY LOCKHART: Harry, Harry, Harry. Can you possibly imagine a better way to serve detention than by helping me to answer my fan mail?
HARRY POTTER: Not really.
GILDEROY LOCKHART: Fame is a fickle friend, Harry. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that.
We can think of several better ways of spending detention than helping Lockhart. Some of them involve flesh-eating slugs. But Lockhart tries to give Harry advice about fame. Why do we suspect he wouldn't take his own advice?
