Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rolanda Hooch

Half Blood Prince
I do not seem to have seen or heard of Madam Hooch in hte sixth book?

Also is this correct Books: 1, 2, 3, 5--64.66.233.18 (discuss) 13:01, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * That would seem to be correct. The only places we'd be likely to see her are at the Head Table, setting out brooms for the first-years in the early part of the year, and officiating at Quidditch. There is little mention of Quidditch in book 6, and I think Madam Hooch's contribution there is only putting the balls in play -- there's no mention of the refereeing. I seem to recall mention of Madam Hooch dancing with another master at the Yule Ball in 4, but she's seen only in passing. While I'm morally certain that she's helping defend the castle in 7, I don't recall seeing her name. I do remember seeing her setting out the brooms once in September, but I think that may be in 3 or 5.


 * I'm curious now. You keep asking questions about characters and where they appear... why? Is this for a literature course? And if so, which university? Chazz (talk) 16:50, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

oh... sorry im not in Univeristy iam in High school, grade 10. For an English course --64.66.233.18 (discuss) 23:32, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, frankly I don't think this text is quite at the University level yet. But good to hear it's being used for what it's meant to be used for. Chazz (talk) 06:20, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

What about You? are you in univeristy? WHy do you do this type of thing? --64.66.233.18 (discuss) 19:38, 17 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Why do I do it? I have to admit I don't quite know. Altruism, perhaps, wanting to help others; possibly because I want to leave some lasting indication that there was a man called Chazz, and he actually knew some stuff. No, I'm not in university any more; graduated about 30 years ago with a degree in Computer and System Engineering... which doesn't explain why I'm basically helping write an English Literature text. I think I got involved because my kids were so fascinated with HP, and I recognized it as literature every bit as worthy of analysis as Charles Dickens; and because the project was here, and needed help that I could provide.

Madam Hooch
Is there and information about when Madam Hooch retire or anything of the like? Please let me know if anyone knows.
 * Not in any of the books JKR wrote, or in any of the other things she's released (Chocolate Frog cards, for instance). Might go through her various interviews, but Madam Hooch is a pretty minor character, I don't think anyone else has asked.
 * The movies made her about 30-40 when Harry was 10, meaning she'd retire possibly around 2015 - 2025. But the books made no mention of her age, she could have been anywhere from about 20 to about 50 when Harry was 10. Chazz (talk) 17:42, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
