Which book had the most humor?
 
I think that JKR has a lot of humor in her books, but some books more than others. Which one do you think was the funniest? I personally thought the Order of the Phoenix.

carola9146 08-22-2006 11:45 AM

I also voted OoTP. The Fred & George stuff was just too funny!

BlackFiresong 08-22-2006 12:04 PM

I voted CoS. Lockhart was simply priceless!! :lol: I found the first book inventive and witty but not really laugh-out-loud funny. And books 3 to 6 were quite dark and not exactly full of out-and-out humour.

My fave line from CoS is:

"Sword? Haven't got a sword. That boy has, though. He'll lend you one."

:lol: Too good...

Darlinga 08-22-2006 01:43 PM

Thing are funny when they are different than you expected. As the introduction to the world of magic, this book is loaded with humor. What is funnier than Hagrid arriving with a baby on a motorcycle and conducting magic with a umbrella? There is too much humor in Diagon Alley to even begin to list them. How about the snake at the zoo or the invitations for Harry to attend Hogwarts? The chocolate frog, moving staircases, platform 9 3/4 etc. This book is tops in humor.

vee72 08-23-2006 09:39 AM

I Love this one quote from The Order of the Phoenix: (pg.65. of uk version)

"Some of them are working on recruiting more people to the Order-" Said Hermione.
"And some of them are standing guard over something" Said Ron" They're always talking about guard duty"
"Couldn't have been me, could it?" Said Harry sarcastically.
"Oh, Yeah" said Ron, With a look of Dawning comprehension... Harry snorted.



HAHA! Ron is hilarious! this was one of the funniest quotes ever, even though the book as a whole isn't as funny as the others, that one quote I think was the funniest over all, I can just imagine Ron acting like that!!

Kim 08-24-2006 01:39 PM

Definately OotP!! Fred and George are so funny when they leave and Ron is funny too.

Harry4emma 08-24-2006 01:55 PM

The Order of the Phoenix it was v funny

WhittyBitty 08-25-2006 08:13 PM

The Order of the Phoenix! Fred and George are great!:lol:

ronandhermione 08-25-2006 11:17 PM

I voted HBP :D.

starlightangel 08-29-2006 02:35 PM

OotP was funny becuase Fred and George where the comic relief in that entire series simply because it was the book where things where officaily going to be extremely dark weather Harry wanted it or not.

Nattie 08-31-2006 04:19 PM

It's got to be HBP. The Won Won scenes are superb!

Hermionespell 08-31-2006 07:02 PM

I don't know, there are quiet a bit of funny things throughout all the books. Some are even funnier because they're not very obvious. Like the password to Gryffindor tower was "Abstinence" once, and that was very amusing to me.

best deatheater 09-01-2006 05:19 PM

probably OOTP what with fred and george calling Umbridge an old bat, the anarchy that goes on through out the castle when Umbridge becomes headmistress, McGonagall lending Peeves her walking stick to hit umbridge and telling him which way to unscrew a chandelair, flitwick slamming the door in umbridge's face, McGonagall and Umbridge in the careers advice, also Luna Lovegood's blatant honesty, the weasley wizard wheezes items, and arthur and Molly at st mungos when he tries to explain he had muggle stitches, and the regurgitating toilets he had to sort out at the beginning, so all in all OOTP is the funniest book I think.

HP is the BoMbDiGiTy 09-04-2006 03:45 AM

I'm not really sure. All the books have humor in them

tcvasset 09-04-2006 05:19 AM

Honestly, I love all HP books... I voted GOF because its full of new stuffs like the amazing triwizard tournament, new actors, dragons, voldemort in whole flesh etc. its kinda cool and fun. :loved:

FLEUR 10-10-2006 01:22 PM

i put hbp bcoz of fred n geroge but my second was ootp

iwantapurpledragon 10-14-2006 09:55 AM

Order of the Phoenix.

Isabellatrix 10-18-2006 06:02 AM

Order of the Pheonix 2.... coming close to half blood price...

Simple Muggle 10-18-2006 08:01 AM

OoTP definitely.
the twins were hilarious and McG, too!
let's not forget Peeves of course..

De Leo 10-29-2006 01:35 PM

I would have to say ootp

Jasmine Potter 10-31-2006 03:51 PM

All of the books have humor in them but the OOTP had the most humor because of what the Weasely twins did to Umbrige. :rotfl: :twins2:
McGongall and Peeves were funny too. :bow:

Beater0 11-15-2006 12:35 AM

I tend to agree with all of you. All the books are loaded with humor, and it kind of depends on your sense of humor. I like the later books because of all the "hormonal humor". :poke:

allucha 11-15-2006 07:15 PM

Order of the Phoenix, just for the fact that Fred and George pull the biggest prank off. And OotP is really the calm fun bit before the responsibilities of HBP.

vash3519 11-22-2006 01:42 AM

i thought OotP had the most humor

felix felicis 11-23-2006 02:22 PM

I cant decide because it seems as they get older they just get funnier, they are all funny and good though... i couldnt pick one, it depends what you find funny aswell i supose

1_true_fan_09 11-26-2006 03:44 AM

The ootp because of fred and george, cant wait to watch the movie.

ootp just cause fred george and fred and george

pearboy11 12-02-2006 04:25 PM

I wonder why nobody pointed out the line (forgive me if they had) where Ron consoled Harry after the Divination OWL that he'd been describing in detail, the picture of a man with a wart on his nose, and only to look up and discover it was his examiner's reflection...

HAHAHAHAHA i laugh just by thinking of it!!!

It's definitely got to be OotP.

XxRockStarxX 12-02-2006 04:27 PM

i voted OotP

FearlessLeader19 12-21-2006 11:01 AM

OoTP definitely! Fred & George made it so! All those tricks on Umbridge!

phoenix88 12-27-2006 06:40 AM

All of the HP books have humor, of course.

But OOTP has the most so far..

Wolf Girl 12-27-2006 06:43 AM

I voted OotP. Fred and George was funny....U no Poo....ha ha ha....

good_omens 12-27-2006 04:22 PM

OotP had a lot of humor, but I think the very dark parts balanced out the mood of the whole book. I hope the movie coming out will be as good and funny as the book, or close to it.

valera 01-15-2007 01:53 AM

i want to vote for OotP but i clicked on GoF instead
but GoF AND Ootp are both very funny.

lemondrop13 01-28-2007 01:14 PM

Definitely Fred & George in OOTP! U-No-Poo is definitely the funniest thing ever! No matter how many times I read that book, I still laugh at that part. I was reading at the gym and started laughing and everyone near me was looking at me funny. LoL! But that part is too good so I really didnt care! :twins:

dancerbookl 01-28-2007 01:22 PM

Normally I would say that OotP, the the book is so dark that the funny don't really cover it up. I think that the whole book wise, the CoS is probably the most funny, but bits and peices, difinately the OotP.

Mrs. Ginny potter 03-13-2007 11:33 PM

:erm: I can´t choose between HBP and OotP. Oke maybe OotP was funnier but HBP is a close second.

RLupin 03-14-2007 01:37 AM

OotP defiantly. I think umbridge was quite hateful, but she was hularious at the same time, her face on some of the chapter art. Priceless...

Madfish 03-29-2007 05:47 PM

i think 5 & 6 are funny, coz in 5 Tonks is actually cool and six has loads of great H&G miments that are hilarious e.g

*quoteness*

She's Ron's sister.
But she's ditched Dean!
She's still Ron's sister.
I'm his best mate!
That'll make it worse.
If I talked to him first-
He'd hit you.
What if I don't care!
He's your best mate!

*end of quoteness*

luv it, it sounds better if you read it outloud with the right voices!

Rockywizardia 03-29-2007 05:53 PM

All of them are pretty funny but I like GoF most of all. Ron's got some of the best lines in it and let's not forget...

"I'm not puttin' them on, I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks."

:rotfl:

muggles_are_underrated 04-06-2007 10:42 PM

I voted for HBP because of U No Poo and Luna's commentary at the quidditch match, and Ron & Lavender flopping around like a pair of eels . . . . too many to mention.

felix felicis 04-18-2007 01:08 PM

I have decided OOTP, because of fred and george they are soooo amazing lol
ill miss them!!!

Fawkes's_Master_Trident 04-26-2007 09:23 PM

Yeah i agree OOTp but because of Umbridge getting carried away.

Chocolate Frog 04-30-2007 05:21 AM

I voted Half Blood Prince.....

Waterloo 05-08-2007 08:49 PM

All the books have humour to a certain extent, but OotP got my vote.
Fred & Georges one-liners were great and the whole Weasleys Wizard Wheezes had me in fits of laughter.

gemlou137 06-10-2007 09:24 PM

Order of the Phoenix, hands down! The first book was like an intro so yes it had its humerous parts but it was mainly just to lighten the mood. CoS was just dark! PoA again had a rather dark theme all concentrating on the Potter's past etc. GoF, I was far too concerned with seeing Harry get through the tasks and make up with Ron than finding any humour. OotP, just...two words: 'Fred' and 'George'. My family thought I was mental when I couldn't stop laughing for five minutes.

So yes, OotP hands down wins!

fmh 06-17-2007 03:06 AM

I said sorcers stone, but its hard to choose. chamber of secrets was good that way too. they all have humor but i didnt see that kind of humor much until the sixth, which was verry funny, well until the end :( contrary to most of you, I found that the ootp was the least funny, it was all serious and a bit too dark except of course, the stuff with fred and george. but i have to say they all had a lot of humor!

dumble101 12-25-2007 02:38 PM

I'm going to say OOTP but HBP was a really close second. Both books are hilarious in their own way. the others are funny too but things get much too serious in the 7th book.

Dawlish 01-12-2008 09:58 AM

I said OoTP because I couldnt stop laughing when I was reading it!
I thought the bit with the Marauders Map and Snape in PoA was hilarious as well though!

ginnypotter101 01-19-2008 04:24 PM

i think the hafl blood prince

teo_rockeritza 01-23-2008 09:45 AM

HBP! the won-won scenes were=)) and hermione's reactions:)), oh, and ron when he drinks romilda vane's love potion:))

Ginpotter 02-05-2008 08:11 AM

HBP...It was a very light book..Comedy not dark like ootp or DH.

Alohomora 02-08-2008 10:20 PM

I'm going to have to go with OoTP as a whole. The twins, R/H/Hr., and McGonagall! I loved the McGonagall vs. Umbrige parts! I also liked the part at the very beginning where Harry gets smart with the Dursleys about the news. There are too many funny quotes to list.

SS also had a few good quotes. I love the one by Vernon when Hagrid is talking about Hogwarts. It was the first time I ever really laughed reading HP.(pg. 58-59)

Hagrid: "......an' he'll be under the greatest headmaster Hogwarts ever had, Albus Dumbled--"

"I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" yelled Uncle Vernon.

Also when Hermione said, "I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed -- or worse, expelled. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed." after the Midnight Duel and meeting Fluffy incident. That's a classic Hermione.(pg. 162)

On page 278 there's a funny Ron/Harry/Hermione scene when they're down in the chamber with the Devil's Snare.

CoS also had some great Lockhart quotes, particularly the big paragraph of his in the middle of pg. 91.

PoA...I'm having trouble thinking of any funny hilights in it...

In GoF I liked the whole first part with Ron's letter to Harry about the big Quiddich game and when the Weasleys come to get him. And who doesn't like seeing Malfoy being turned into a ferret!?

HBP was also really funny. There was some awesome, hilarious conversations.

I haven't really thought about the humor in DH yet, though.

cutestar 02-22-2008 04:28 PM

I think HBP had the most humour!! I was laughing more while reading HBP than OOTP :yes:

JKR is a genius :bow:

danegerzone 02-29-2008 07:54 AM

OotP for me. Fred and George were just too funny in that one.

Avenger 02-29-2008 04:08 PM

OOTP, "Give her hell from us!" Wohoo!

claire potter 04-09-2008 10:11 PM

:couchbana

kidding i love all te books

Shamara 04-15-2008 01:09 PM

I voted OOTP :)

Janie<3 04-15-2008 01:18 PM

I wasn't too sure at first, but now I think about it. OOTP had the pure hilarity of the Weasley Twins Vs. Umbridge, which kinda tipped it to OOTP rather than HBP, there's some humor in them all though, even DH!

hogwartsgirl123 04-16-2008 09:54 PM

I think OotP was the funniest b/c of Fred & George

Toffus 05-07-2008 08:02 PM

Order of the Phoenix. Definately.

Hermione-is-the-best 05-08-2008 08:34 PM

I liked OoTP because of Fred and George

Liisa 05-19-2008 08:10 PM

I liked OoTP because the characters just seem to get funnier as they mature. Maybe its just Jo was getting funnier, Idk. But I certainly laughed my way through all of the Fred and George scenes.

Cassie1011 05-20-2008 12:59 PM

Well I was going to choose The deathly Hallows but its not there.... I think the deathly Hallows is funny purely because Hermione takes a ragi <--(gos crazy)
when Ron comes back and the part when it says her limbs are unlikely to unravle for several years...I just think its funny because you dont see her do that often.

:r/hr:

HarryThePotter 05-20-2008 01:21 PM

I personally love HBP. I love the Lavender and Ron stuff, its so fun x) But JK really has a good sense of humor, and all of her books is really funny, I think!

laura-tonks 05-26-2008 08:10 PM

I couldn't choose one-but i love the lockhart scenes in cos, fred and george in ootp and won-won in hbp!
also that part in hbp when harry's insides are dancing the conga!
:D:D

xxHPxADDICTxx 06-25-2008 12:12 AM

AndromedaBlack 07-01-2008 04:15 PM

Well they all have rather a lot, but I eould say Order of the Phoenix.

hermioneincarnate08 07-18-2008 04:01 PM

out of those six its hard to tell , some of them had more of a morbid sort of humor in them, but if i had to say a book that had a bit of humor that actually made me laugh then it would probably be the order of the pheonix, with all the tatoo talk about harrys hippogriff and rons pigmy puff.

French_December 10-15-2008 09:43 PM

I thought there was some humor in Half-Blood Prince. Particularly with Hermione and Ron.

butterbeer5 10-15-2008 11:36 PM

I agree, Fred and George's exit in OotP is uncontested. But I also like particular passages in other HP books:

Philosopher's Stone
Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march.

Chamber of Secrets
"A Study of Hogwarts' Prefects and Their Later Careers," Ron read aloud off the back cover. "That sounds fascinating."

Prisoner of Azkaban
"Would anyone like me to help interpret the shadowy realms within their orb?"
"I don't need help, it's obvious what this means: there's going to be loads of fog tonight."


Goblet of Fire
Dudley had done the thing he was threatening to do since age three: He had become wider than he was tall.

Half-Blood Prince
"Do you remember me telling you we are practicing nonverbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," said Harry stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
"There's no need to call me 'sir,' Professor."


Deathly Hallows
“And as for this book,” said Hermione, “The Tales of Beedle the Bard … I’ve never even heard of them!”
“You’ve never heard of The Tales of Beetle the Bard?” said Ron incredulously. “You’re kidding, right?
“No, I’m not!” said Hermione in surprise. “Do you know them, then?”
“Well, of course I do!”
Harry looked up, diverted. The circumstance of Ron having read a book that Hermione had not was unprecedented.

bubblegumpink 10-27-2008 03:11 PM

I could hardly choose - cos has got Lockhart, which probably goes to the top, but I love it in hbp when Ron takes the love potion...:)

HarryThePotter 11-11-2008 05:35 PM

Hard one.
I gotta say Order of the Phoenix.. Or the Halfblood prince.. But Gobleto of fire was pretty fun, too. Can't decide. All of them are fun! (:

sunshine 02-02-2009 11:15 AM

I voted for the 5. book because of the twins. They made it quite funny.

Lady 03-29-2009 07:54 PM

I think HBP had many funny moments. :lol:

WritingJunkie2215 04-05-2009 09:47 PM

OOTP! Fave quote from that book:

"Ron, we're supposed to show the first years where to go!"-Hermione

"Oh yeah. Hey--Hey you lot! Midgets!"-Ron

"Ron!"-Hermione

"Well, they are, they're titchy...."-Ron

"I know, but you can't call them midgets. . . ."-Hermione

So funny! I love those two!

Hermionespell 04-19-2009 01:06 PM

I definitely agree that OotP had the most humor in it out of the first six. It involved a lot of pranks and jokes from Fred and George, as well as a lot of comments about Umbridge.

chantal7 06-22-2009 10:38 AM

i will have to say the CoS when ron crashes into the womping willow and when he gets the howler from his mother and the deathday party was good too

crazedHPfan 07-03-2009 08:43 PM

it's hard to pick, but I say OOTP... it had lots of humor, especially with the Weasleys... HBP I think had the second most humor, then DH. DH was a little dark, but Muriel was hilarious!

pottergrl5 07-16-2009 08:31 AM

I voted OotP because I feel that Jk put more comedy in it to balance out the dark parts.

Davvy_Wavvy 07-16-2009 07:12 PM

OOTP Hands down

PhoenixRose 07-26-2009 02:36 AM

OotP, I think.
Though DH did have some very funny quotes that I liked.

b_stewart 07-26-2009 08:59 PM

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

kshea6 08-18-2009 08:56 PM

I voted Half-Blood Prince because of Fred and George's shop, however they were so funny in the 5th one also with trying to get rid of Umbridge!

TSnitch 09-02-2009 03:27 AM

Ron and the spiders was jus down rite hilarious for me.

harrypotter4ever 09-22-2009 08:34 AM

All the books had heaps of humor but i personally think OotP was the best

Vampire_BaD_GiRl 09-29-2009 02:52 PM

In PoA I was rolling from laugher, so I picked it ;]

bonnieginnyfan1 10-01-2009 05:20 AM

Half Blood Prince All The Way Baby!!!!!!!!

malfoyandgarson4ever 10-27-2009 08:59 PM

i think the half blood prince or the order of the phoinex but all the books have lots of humor in them

lolz=)hp(=zlol 12-14-2009 09:13 PM

i voted ootp but i think the gof and hbp r reaslly funny too

Zomgshaylex 01-02-2010 02:06 AM

I seriously had to think about this for a bit. I ended up voting Goblet of Fire; I remember specifically dying of laughter while reading that book. Moaning Myrtle's bathtub appearance was by far one of the funniest scenes in the novels. Also, the fake Moody's antics just cracked me up. I think that is the only time you're allowed to think bouncing ferrets are funny without being in trouble with the ASPCA. And honestly, I wouldn't be able to pick a second.

oribiablue 01-04-2010 04:22 AM

Order of the Phoenix was funniest. Fred and George's antics were hilarious, and then Umbridge being carried off by the Centaurs, and Firenze becoming a Divination teacher...

Also, Half-Blood Prince was great: the felix felicis potion, Ron and his Quidditch antics, and, of course, the love potion and Romilda Vane...oh, and Ron and Lavender! (Ron is great comic relief in this book).

UnicornDragonPatronus 01-04-2010 04:25 AM

I voted Prisoner of Azkaban... all of the Marauder antics always make me smile- not to mention Lupin's class!! However, OotP isn't too far behind! :D

natekka 02-25-2011 07:25 PM

Definately Order of the Phoinex :D I loved Fred and Georges jokes and thing, just hilarious :D

Nat x

Sugar_addict 02-27-2011 10:07 PM

All of them, but Fred and George were hillarious in OOTP

teamdobby 04-08-2011 09:24 AM

I voted for CoS but the part where Ron swallows the Love Potion in HBP hilarious :L

slytherus 04-11-2011 10:11 AM

I must say I love how Flitwick & Snape react when Lockhart asked the female students to ask Love Potion & Entrancing Enchantments, but I love Fred & George in Order of the Phoenix more. xD

spiral_star 04-11-2011 10:36 AM

picked Goblet of Fire and i also have to say order of the phoenix. Fred and George FTW :woot:

SilverMoonbeam 04-27-2011 08:50 PM

Well I think HBP, but there has only been three people that have been funny throughout the entire series and they have never failed to crack me up. And they are Ron, Fred and george. They are they only three people that have been funny through the entire series. No one else has ever matched to how amazing they're humor is.
