|  Madam Hooch
I dunno if this fits in here, I just have to ask the question. Now, I have to admit, maybe this is something that I havent noticed, or maybe I just haven't read the books so thorougly, but where did madam Hooch go? As far as I can remeber, I haven't seen (read) anything about her since, what, the first book?
Is there something i skipped?

Third |  Madame Hooch is on holiday...just...a really long holiday...yeah...
I have to agree with Dainsie, proper grammar rocks... *smirks as he thinks of what he would do if he could edit posts* 
But onto Madame Hooch...as best I can tell she's still teaching first years how to fly their brooms, and since there are always new first years...she's just not going to be a major character in the series, which just goes to show you Hogwarts is really a bigger school than we think and there are likely more teachers than we know...  | |

They discussed this on Mugglecast. Madame Hooch, as far as I can tell, teaches first years to fly, referees Quidditch games, and sometimes oversees practices. | |

There have been slight mentions of her overseeing matches and practices but other than that she spends most of her time with the first years. She hasn't dissapeared. It's just there are no classes with her and thus, she is never mentioned. | |

mmm - now that you mention it I don't remember reading about her either. I guess she justs teaches the first years and referee's the games. That sounds like an easy job, LOL...
I wonder if she'll turn up in book 7 or if that's it for her? | |

Really, who cares where she is? She isn't that interresting a character! Why don't you ask where that brasilian boa for the 1st book is? What happened to him? Did he make it to Brasil? For that, i am worried, for Hooch not so much... She can always make a huge come back in book 7 and be the heroine of the day but i wouldn't count on it...sorry. | |

I like the way Madam Hootch teaches the first years how to fly on their broomsticks in book one, I also like how she raves about the firebolt against the silver arrow the one she was trained on. | |

She's not really a huge part of the story, i think she just teaches the first years to fly fr one year and then they drop it, and thats it. She doesn't really need to be in the books that much. She's just the person who referees (sp?) the quidditch matches. | |

She teachs first years to fly and referees Quidditich. I'm not sure she's meant to be a major character. | |

no, she was in the Order of the Phoenix, she was yelling at Crabbe for hitting the bludger at Harry after he had caught the snitch. That was when Malfoy made fun of Mrs. Weasley, and the twins and harry got tossed from the Quiddich team. | |

this is from HBP, ch.14 Felix Felicis Quote:
Harry stepped up to Madam Hooch, the referee, who was standing ready to release the balls from the crate.
"Captains shake hands," she said, and Harry had his hand crushed by the new Slytherin Captain, Urquhart. "Mount your brooms. On the whistle . . . three . . . two . . . one . . ."
| Quote: |
"Thinks he's something special today, doesn't he?" said a snide voice, and Harry was nearly knocked off his broom as Harper collided with him hard and deliberately. "Your blood-traitor pal..." Madam Hooch's back was turned, and though Gryffindors below shouted in anger, by the time she looked around, Harper had already sped off.
|
And I think this is from ch 19. Elf Tails Quote: |
He shook hands with the Hufflepuff Captain, and then, on Madam Hooch's whistle, kicked off and rose into the air, higher than the rest of his team, streaking around the pitch in search of the Snitch.
|
So you do have Hooch in HBP...she's just not playing an important role. | |
