Chapter: 17, A Sluggish Memory
I am slowly listening to this one at night in bed but I noticed something this go round that I hadn't thought about before. In the movie for The Order of the Phoenix, Harry teaches the members of the DA to use the Levicorpus spell. I think Cho is using it against Michael Corner in one scene and drops him when Harry walks by. And then Luna uses it against a Deatheater in the Ministry.
I had, until yesterday, completely forgotten that Harry learns that spell from the Half-Blood Prince textbook. He sees his dad use it in Snape's memory in OOTP but doesn't know it himself and certainly doesn't teach it to the DA. The only spell I clearly remembered him learning from the HBP book was Sectumsempra.
This is one of the reasons I'm enjoying this reread so much, remembering all the things I had forgotten and seeing the small changes that aren't so noticeable.
