Huh.

So. Watched HP amd the Goblet of Fire tonight. Can someone please explain to me why they thought it necessary to display Beauxbatons as an all-girls and Durmstrang as an all-boys school? I'm pretty sure nothing like that was ever specified in the books and the HP Lexicon seems to agree with me, seeing as there's no mention of it there ( Read more... )

If I remember correctly, the books never mention a male Beauybatons student as well as a female Durmstrang student. That only implies that there are none, but you´re right - it´s nowhere said explicitly.

And was Padma Patil actually sorted into Gryffindor?
I´m not quite sure which twin is which, but I know that one twin is in Ravenclaw and the other in Gryffindor

I should stop rambling now. It's almost four a.m. *headdesks* At the moment I'm unable to get to bed at reasonable times. Maybe I should just not sleep one night...
tell me about it - just pullled an all-nighter with no actual reason - I hope that I can force my day-night rhythm back into a more ...intelligent pattern.

I just looked it up.
About the students of Beauxbatons: 'that around a dozen boys and girls - ... - had emerged from the carriage and were now standing behind Madame Maxime.'
About Durmstrang isn't anything outright stated about gender that I could find, but there's a girl mentioned in the scene when Karkaroff leads his students out of the Great Hall after the schools arrived at Hogwarts that's probably a Durmstrang student.

Padma was sorted into Ravenclaw in the books. Which is why I'm wondering where she was sorted in the movies.

that proves, once again, that my memory is not to be trusted^^

It's made more difficult for me because most of my lectures don't start until 10 a.m. And Mondays I don't have anything at all.
I deliberately take the lectures that start at 8am in order to have something like a structured "normal" day - basically I try to cram everything in the time between 8am and 4pm - this time it didn´t work out, but I managed to liberate my friday of all lectures.

I don't really have that choice. All the lectures I have at the moment are mandatory and in every semester at the same time. I do have the advantage that almost no mandatory lectures/seminars/tutorials/whatever are later than 1 pm since we have so many labs. Here is the link to my time table, I'm in the 5. semester: http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/bm/studienplan.pdf
