KMC Forums - Hidden meanings from J.K. Rowling.

I am in the middle of reading book #7.

I have run across several things in the book that could be interpreted as hidden humor. I am not sure if they were intentional or not by J.K. Rowling.

I have run across stuff like that from the first 6 books as well. I wanted everyone to share things that they have run across in the books that would have another meaning or what you think is hidden humor by J.K. Rowling.

Anyway, here is one that I think is sooo ridiculously obvious that J.K. Rowling had to have meant this to be funny. It can be found in Book #7 on page 523 first paragraph. Hermione is speaking and it is reference to her ingesting the polyjuice potion that turned her into Bellatrix.

"She tasted disgusting, worse than Gurdyroots! Okay, Ron, come her so I can do you...."

Then Ron says

"Right, but remember, I don't like the beard too long-"

Then Hermione says..

"Oh, for heaven's sake, this isn't about looking handsome-"

Then Ron says..

"It's not that, it gets in the way!..."

It is so painfully obvious that J.K. Rowling intended humor by that for adults...probably because she knows that her books are read by adults AND children. A child wouldn't get that. Props goes to J.K. Rowling for being able to write so well that she can do that.

Share other things that you found like that.
