I’m back to Starkid, so, I’ve watched “A Very Potter Senior Year and my very first reaction was: “That’s real Luna!” – meaning that it’s an actress who played Luna in the movies. That was cool. The plot is basically (mostly) based on the second book – “The Chamber of Secrets”, just Tom is showing Ginny through the diary… oh, sorry, journal flashbacks, which Dumbledore was showing Harry in the sixth book. We get to know why Tom’s always dancing – Dumbledore taught him. By the way, his dancing philosophy reminded me of something: “When the world sucks, just dance!” = “If your hands are shaking, make them jazz hands!” (From “The Prom”) Harry hearing the Basilisk – “Snake” was very funny! It was probably one of the best jokes, actually. I also liked, how Draco tries to remind Harry that they are friends and started retelling their school years – so, we get to know, that in the third year they actually got to Pigfarts and there were “singing, dancing and clean jokes”. Lockhart was also interesting – in this interpretation, he didn’t steal somebody’s deeds, but he steals muggle books and sells them in the magic world. (Spoilers!) He also made Hermione (who was in love with him and was writing explicit smut fanfiction based on his books) write him about Harry’s adventures, “fixed” it and wrote the original “Harry Potter” books that way. He was going to sell them in the muggle world. Harry, by the way, also had problems with Lockhart, because he was stealing his fame, so Harry tried to become popular again, but the only thing he did for it – broke up with Ginny. When the Chamber was open, he was accused of opening it – Lockhart said, that Potter decided to create a mystery for himself to solve it and restore popularity. By the way, there was an unexpected Death Note reference (that to see Tom, you have to touch the journal) – this stuff is pursuing me. Well, getting back to the plot – when all this Chamber stuff got intense Harry decided to leave, because he was under too much stress and pressure. He went to the Godric’s Hollow, opened the lucky snitch, found the resurrection stone inside it and talked to his parents, to Sirius and Remus. And to Cedric. Oh my god, Cedric Diggory and Lily – officially the weirdest stuff I’ve ever seen in my life. Cedric and Lily are married in heaven. Harry also talked to Severus. Well, of course, then Ron brought him back to school, they fought the Basilisk and won. Everybody’s happy, the only victim in Scarfy (rest in peace), Ron proposes to Hermione and she says yes. The last scene, platform 9¾, Harry sends his son – Albus Scarfy to Hogwarts and that’s okay, but you know whom do we see next. Quirrell and Voldemort together (as at the end of the very first musical) sending their daughter to school. Oh good Lord in Hell, I cried and they did everything to make me – they made the girl call them “daddies”, they made Voldemort give a speech about found family and love and they made Quirrell say “Okay is wonderful!”. I’m super dead.  

dude, I just started to analyse this, Quirrel had Voldy at the back of his head right?? Okay, and supposedly Dumbledore knows it all with his great powers and shit, right?? hoW DIDNT HE NOTICE THE FUCKING DARK LORD IN ONE OF HIS TEACHERS?! I mean, dark magic it’s like a vibe right?? bAD VIBE???

It seems that Mrs. Hooch is the usual referee for all Hogwarts Quidditch games.  You’d think putting a Head of House as referee for a game would be against the rules since they could interfere by favoring one team over the other, even if the teams are none of the Head’s own house.  There must have been a good reason for Dumbledore to interfere in the Hufflepuff/Grynffindor match.

I think the broom hexing from Harry’s first game, and the refereeing in his next game are directly related, as one being the consequence of the other, and that Harry was just a proxy between 2 competing Dark Lord servants, Quirrell and Snape (in appearances only).  

Gryffindor vs Slytherin

Quirrell hexes the broom, from an earlier order from Voldemort, or on his own initiative to impress his master.  Voldemort couldn’t have possessed Quirrell at that moment since Harry didn’t feel scar pain. Snape, which status to the Dark Lord still read as “Double agent working at Hogwarts to spy on Dumbledore”, is supposed to be in the confidence of Dumbledore in order to learn his secrets. Quirrell hexes the broom to trigger a reaction from Snape. If Snape saves Harry it shows that Snape wants to keep Dumbledore confidence by saving his protégé, remaining in Dumbledore’s confidence and everybody else’s.  If Snape doesn’t intervene it means Snape really wants Harry dead, since everyone would know that Snape is good in dark arts and would have been able to save Harry.

Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff

Snape refereeing means that he will be away from the school for a while that day, which would give plenty of time to Quirrell to go test the trapdoor and try to get in the maze, undisturbed by his rival, considering that the maze was a setup to trap Quirrell!Mort and pull Voldemort out of Quirrell’s head and save him while catching Vapormort at the same time. If Hermione can trap animagus Rita in an enchanted glass jar that prevent any means of escape, I’m confident that Dumbledore could easily come up with some enchanted glass jar in which to trap Vapormort.  

Snape refereeing would also show the whole school that Dumbledore is “doing something” by setting up a referee no one would want to cross in order to prevent further broom hexing and who’s also knowledgeable in the dark arts used in that sort of hexing.  

This is how Quirrell!mort interprets Snape refereeing, which shows he didn’t know that the main motive would have been to encourage him to go into the maze with Snape out of the way. Quirrell!mort also goes further in his wrong interpretation of the hexing episode by telling Harry that the teachers thought that Snape was trying to stop Gryffindor from winning.  We can suppose that the teachers were playing dumb in front of Quirrell by pretending that Snape is the baddie. Which completely makes no sense, since Snape was refereeing the next game. You don’t put the bad guy in charge of the game when he was he one hexing a player in the previous. But Quirrell!Mort never seemed to have caught that contradiction, which might have given him a hint that there was a major conspiracy against him at school.

When Harry catches the Snitch early, Snape seems to be pretty pissed off about it by spitting on the ground, again not because Gryffindor won, but because he was counting on a good long Quidditch game to give more free time to Quirrell!Mort to check out the maze and hopefully make it through, therefore he’ll have to continue to play the baddie with Quirrell and pretend he also want to steal the stone.
