Esta cena é de um dos meus capítulos preferidos do Harry Potter - 'The Yule Ball' - mais exactamente do 4º livro, "Goblet of Fire "(O Cálice de Fogo). Quando a li pela primeira vez nem conseguia parar de rir, mas tinha ao mesmo tempo uma estranha vontade de chorar ... É que esta cena ilustra muito bem os receios e as inseguranças dos adolescentes, os seus conflitos - internos e externos - a descoberta de novos sentimentos - e a incapacidade de lidar com eles - e tudo isso com um enorme sentido de humor, visão e sensibilidade! J.K.Rowling é uma grande contadora de histórias.
A crise de ciúmes do Ron quando vê Hermione a dançar com o seu (ex)ídolo de Quidditch, Viktor Krum, é uma graça. Mas podia ser com qualquer outro, Ron tem cíumes de Hermione pelo que sente por ela, que ela sabe, mas ele ainda não se apercebeu disso... como diz J.K.Rowling, "typical boy" ;) Muito cómico!
Outra cena, do livro seguinte, "The Order of the Phoenix" (A Ordem da Fénix), da qual gosto muito. Hermione tenta ajudar Ron e Harry a perceberem um pouco da psicologia feminina...
" 'What's that supposed to mean?' said Ron indignantly. 'What sort of person cries while someone's kissing them?'
'Yeah', said Harry, slightly desperately, 'Who does?'
Hermione looked at the pair of them with an almost pitying expression on her face.
'Don't you understand how Cho's feeling at the moment?' she asked.
'No,' said Harry and Ron together.
Hermione sighed and laid down her quill.
'Well, obviously, she's feeling very sad, because of Cedric dying. Then I expect she's feeling confused because she liked Cedric and now she likes Harry, and she can't work out who she likes best. Then she'll be feeling guilty, thinking it's an insult to Cedric's memory to be kissing Harry at all, and she'll be worrying about what everyone else might say about her if she starts going out with Harry. And she probably can't work out what her feelings towards Harry are, anyway, because he was the one who was with Cedric when Cedric died, so that's all very mixed up and painful. Oh, and she's afraid she's going to be thrown off the Ravenclaw Quidditch team because she's been flying so badly.'
A slightly stunned silence greeted the end of this speech, then Ron said, 'One person can't feel all that at once, they'd explode.'
'Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have,' said Hermione nastily picking up her quill again."
'Don't you understand how Cho's feeling at the moment?' she asked.
'No,' said Harry and Ron together.
