Uh-oh, the green eyed devil just bit Harry.. He caught Dean and Ginny...snogging.

Snogging? what a disgusting word for smooches.

yeah a better word is an "intimate sharing of saliva"

Anyway, I didn't actually think Rowling uses word "snogging" :P before i read it <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Snogging is a very common word in the UK, albeit not a particularly nice one. I think its mainly a young teenager type of term - I haven't used it (nor heard any of my friends use it) since I was 14 or so.

Oh, i've spoken english many times. But most of the people I came into contact with either had an american accent or a pure english one.
That's what I like about german - Scheissdreck is pronounced "Scheissdreck" and not "Stheissdhreck" or "Steissdreck" (although those easterners...bleh! let's not derail this one as well).

Snogging...


Here in the US we call it

1) Kissing
2) Making Out
3) Sharing body fluids <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

I dont know why we say making out. it doesnt even make sense

just got the book today read three quarters of it in eight hours. it is really good. but what stumps me is the the dialouge - they are what sixteen in it? they certainly dont seem to speak like sixteen year olds. the dialouge hasnt really changed at all throughout the series i dont think. also i seem to be quite liking this voldemort this book doesnt really put him across as too much of a supervillan i think

some people here call it "getting off". I could never quite get the grip of saying that.

Wouldn't work in the US, the term is already used in association with intercourse. Kissing has many terms and slang, but Snogging and Getting Off are not among them.

[edit] I just noticed something. Not a spoiler, its been throughout the series. The house elves can apparate within Hogwarts.. How?

Yeah, I can see that it would help them with their duties, but couldn't anyone turn themselves into one and go where they pleased? I mean, they have that potion that makes you look like others.

Is this perhaps an oversight on Rowlings part?

House elves' magical powers are far beyond wizards' ones, thus spells which disallow wizards to apparate do not apply to house elves or any other magical creature.
As you might have understood, house elves do not need a wand to do magic, unlike wizards.

You also have to understand, that polyjuicepotion only makes you LOOK like another being (creature) but does not give you the magical powers. The heck... if it would, I believe a lot of people would already have turned into Dumbledore and done magic beyond their own capabilities <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

I think Rowling has thought about that, but atleast it's as I understand it.

Its stupid, why are elves the slaves? The house elves could easily make the wizards work for them.

Why would it be strange? After all, they have the advantage of being able to use both the Dark Arts and "conventional" magic.
