You mean like this?Might wanna try using smilies to get that across next time.
I think it might be funnier if one were to end the list chapter with Harry actually having to divest himself of some of the things on the list including some of the more obscure items such as the last mortal remains of J. Edgar Hoover, "Extract of 4chan" and imitation Crown Jewels. If anyone asks why he had them, then the usual D&D answer applies, "It might have been useful."Sadly, I have neither played the module, nore have enough ranks in the lore to pull one off. I suppose I could try, and hope that I get something almost right, but no promises.
Anyway, I'm thinking that when Umbrige takes over, they start playing Dark Heresy in the common room. Purely a coincedence, I assure you Madame Inquisitor. Would you consider yourself a Monodominist? Of course you would, how silly to ask. Oh, this? This is a mere game, a muggle version of exploding snap almost. Sadly, the game makes you imagine the exlosions on your own. There are some aids for that but, you know how muggle devices work around Hogwarts. Care for a game? No? How silly of us, of course you are far too busy. A shame, really. Still, all for the Minister, of course. Yes, of course. Good day to you.
Bitch.
On a related note, how would a Harry that has years of playing as a DM handle things like the Triwizard Tournement? I've got this image of him circumventing the Second Task, possibly by asking the Merfolk nicely ahead of time or something, and not getting it when the judges get all in a tizzy trying to figure out how to award points for him. Dumbledore's all "Why yes, quite cunning. More wizardkind should try to talk to our magical brethren, rather than fighting." While Maxine and Karkaroff are trying to explain to the old coot that this was supposed to be a test of magical skill and aptitude, not a linguistics course.
Hopefully, Harry and company angage in all manner of loopholes that by the time the third test comes around, there is a half hour breifing on what is and is not allowed in the match, covering things that most people wouldn't even consider. "The carring of non-wand equipment, including but not limited to ten foot poles, collapable or otherwise, mirrors, Fanged Frisbees, Peruvian Darkness Powder, Eggy-In-A-Basket, three weeks trail rations, rope, string or yarn, the Holy Handgrenades of Antioch, Acre, or Timbuktu, nor their unhallowed bretheren, roosters, Blast-Ended Skrewt treats, 20 lbs of Flubberworms, firewhiskey in any amount, Sneaking Sneakers, Shuffling Shoes, Booming Boots, or any other form of enchanted footwear, caltrops (bouncing or otherwise) a "+3 dagger" of silver, cold iron or adamintine, the left haunch of a gazelle or antilope, Extendable Ears, Portable Holes, self-stirring caulrons, phylacteries, a rowboat, sparkplugs, fireplugs, firelegs, fire fighters, freedom fighters, pit fighters, pit bulls, red bulls, red barons, blue barons, blue balls, charity balls, big balls (for fancy dress) the last mortal remains of J Edger Hoover, imitations of the Crown Jewls, the actual Crown Jewels, cheap novelty mugs, a tie, scarf, or crevatte, a letter of credit from any banking firm or institution valued at more than 750 galleons, blue paint, red paint, paint balls, a Shi Tzu or terrior of any sort, dirty socks, dryer sheets, Cockroach Clusters, an umbrella, anything manufactured by Umbrella Corp., a 70 watt lightbulb, phonebooks, bridge building equipment, playing cards, Floo Powder, hags teeth, "extract of 4chan", whatever that is, a noose, Implacible Airman Higgs, 45 gallons of toothpase, a weasel, ferret, or stoat, nor any member of Hufflepuff nor Slytheren house (save for those competing as champions), a lead pipe, toilet seat from a girl's lavatory, shower curtains, Lawrencium 235, any isotope with more than four vowls, vampire hair, poisoned dragon's liver, a bedknob nor broomstick, a Walther PPK, saltpetere, salt pork, porkbarrel, the keel to any riverboat, barber's tools, a hedge trimmer, hedgehogs, soda, floss, spandex, latex body suits that are not of government issue, dragonhide gloves, Indominatable Undies, Indefatagable Undies, undies of any sort, three frnch hens, two turtle doves, a raindeer named Prancer or Donner, parchment, a two-man saw, cables, dentures belonging to anyone in the audience, a rocket ship named "Lucy", a torch, Omnioculars, or anything ending with "ito", is not permitted.
Yeah, that joke ran long. Probably need dialouge from other people in there to help break it up. Maybe have that as a running gag through that chapter? IT starts off with Bagman reading the three the riot act in front of the crowd, while other people chatting in the stands while they sit there and listen. Ron and Hermione discuss with Neville and Luna what they think is going to happen, the Twins reveal to Lee Jordain that they had been approached "as consultants" to help make sure that none of the contestants tried to slip in anything dodgy, and as such 'might have mentioned a few things' that had made into the list, Dumbledore remarking to Madame Maxine that he thinks that the contest just might have been that much more interesting if the contestants were required to bring the list in, rather than leave it outside. End the chapter with either that, or have them finally given leave to enter the maze, and while three of the contestants were wondering what the hell half that stuff was, Harry's cursing the Twin's throughness. Blast-Ended Skrewt treats would have been very helpful right now!, or something like that.
One drinks it, of course.How does one use Extract of 4chan, anyways?
*cough* I will neither confirm nor deny these allegations.Isn't that right Derv?
