Puns in Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix?

Question

Hi! I need to find puns and wordplay in the book Harry Potter and The order of the phoenix. I need the pun and the page where it appears. I'll grant stars to the one who gives me more and better puns . Thank you very much.

Answer 1

first of all, the other people didnt do puns

A pun is a phrase that deliberately exploits confusion between similar-sounding words for humorous or rhetorical effect.

for ex. Punch line of a knock knock joke: Q: "Eskimo Christians Italian who?" A: "Eskimo Christians Italian no lies."

(Pun on the stock phrase "Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies".)

in HP theres:

"Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?" (p. 201), implying both lavenders star chart and her butt as a joke

but the other two definetly are not puns

Answer 2

okay this is a very hard question.lol. OOTP is the biggest book in the series. but i'm going to try to find some...these are all kind of sexually related though...i'm warning you now.

* What d'you mean, I'm not brave in bed?" said Harry, completely nonplussed. (pg. 14)

* "...I know you did Mark Evans two nights ago --"

"He was asking for it," snarled Dudley. (pg. 13)

*"I heard you last night," said Dudley breathlessly. "Talking in your sleep. Moaning." (pg. 15)

"JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ALLOWED TO USE MAGIC NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO WHIP YOUR WAND OUT FOR EVERY TINY LITTLE THING!" (pg. 84)

* "Or any part of your body, really, we're not fussy where we stick this." (pg. 343)

* "She's somethin' when she's roused, Olympe...fiery, you know...'spect it's the French in her..." (pg. 432)

* "He was rather taller than Snape, who, Harry noticed, had balled his fist in the pocket of his cloak over what Harry was sure was the handle of his wand."

* "I thought not," said Snape, watching him closely. "You let me get in too far. You lost control."

* "He was on all fours again on Snape's office floor."

* "Yeah, Montague tried to do us during break," said George.

"What do you mean, 'tried'?" said Ron quickly.

* "But whether James really did take off Snape's pants, Harry never found out."

* "Sirius pushed his chair roughly aside and strode around the table towards Snape, whipping his wand out as he went; Snape whipped out his own."

* "Well?" said Ron finally, looking up at Harry. "How was it?" Harry considered for a moment.

"Wet." He said truthfully.

* "What did he do to you, Diddy?" Aunt Pentunia said in a quavering voice, now sponging sick from the front of Dudley's leather jacket. "Was it-- was it you-know-what, darling? Did he use-- his thing?"

* "Fred and George were looking particularly annoyed; both were bandy-legged and winced with each movement..."

* "Don't put your wand there, boy!" roared Moody.

* "He came last night, when you were in bed," said Mr. Weasley.

* "Anyway, its a nightmare of a year, the fifth," said George. "If you care about exam results, anyway. Fred and I managed to keep our peckers up somehow." (lmao.)

* "He [Harry] tried to eat, but it was like chewing carpet."

* Put that away, will you?" said Sirius finally, as James made a fine catch and Wormtail let out a cheer. "Before Wormtail wets himself from excitement."

* "...which left Harry free to sit down on the grass between the beech and the bushes and watch the foursome under the tree."

* "Harry's heart began to pump very fast indeed. Defence against external penetration?"

* ...She pressed hard on the top of his head. "Doesnt it ever lie flat?" she said desperately. Harry shook his head.

* "Panting, Harry fell forwards over the hydrangea bush, straightened up and stared around. There were several faces peering trough various nearby windows. Harry stuffed his wand hastily back into his jeans and tried to look innocent."

* "He and all the other Weasleys froze on the threshold, gazing at the scene in front of them, which was also suspended in mid-action, both Sirius and Snape looking toward the door with their wands pointing into each other's faces and Harry immobile between them..."

* "We're not going to use magic," Ron ejaculated loudly.

* “Well-- it’s just that you seem to be labouring under the delusion that I am going to-- what is the phrase?-- come quietly. I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius.”

* "Zacharias folded his arms and said nothing, though perhaps this was because he was too busy keeping an eye on the instrument in Fred's hand."

* "Snape lay panting on the ground. James and Sirius advanced on him, wands raised..."

* "I DID IT!" said Neville gleefully. "I've never done it before -- I DID IT!"

* "You are not in a position to bargain, Potter," said Lucius Malfoy, his pale face flushed with pleasure.

Harry tried every variation of "I need to see what Draco Malfoy is doing inside you" that he could think of for a whole hour... (this one is hilarious but it's from HBP)
