Thoughts of Potter's books. Part 2 1 - Why did Harry think their team would lose if they call off the match? In stressing situations Harry doesn’t think much. He thinks the very first thing that had come into his mind is the only true one. We can see many confirmations to that. For instance, that occasion with a gate at King Cross station, when Ron and Harry decided to fly to school by car. So, probably it was the very first thing that came into his mind. I don’t think there is some kind of rule which would compel players to face with deadly circumstances. Although, other teachers saw that bludger was acting strange and did nothing. Sometimes I don’t understand what wizards are thinking about at all. 2 - Why do you think madam Hooch didn't stop the game? I have absolutely no idea. It was obvious that bludger was acting in a very strange way, and thus, that it was bewitched. The terms match was going were dangerous even without the crazy ball. With it, they became even more insecure for Harry. So, I don’t know why they did absolutely nothing to prevent a disaster. 3 - Were there situations when something went in a way it shouldn't? What was your reaction? Yes, many times. In our country, people don’t bother much about rules or way of stuff working. All they interested about is the final result. Even now at my work, everybody breaks the rules. I don’t like it at all. I’m a strong rule follower, so it makes me crazy. Usually, I’m trying to influence a situation. Make everything working in a right way. Unfortunately, in most cases, it’s completely useless. This kind of fights is like a fight against myself. In these cases, I work only my own nerves. So, at some point I’m giving up. 4 - Do you think Wood made a good decision letting Harry play against the rough bludger? It wasn’t smart decision at all. I can understand Wood. He’s obsessed with Quidditch. He wanted to win. He wanted to win and to prove everybody that their team was the best on the field, even if their opponents had better broomsticks. And it is true, of course. However, he put Harry in real danger. Yes, Harry was determined to win as much as Wood. But Oliver didn’t think of how he would treat himself if something really awful happened to Harry.
