ok, i was just finished chapter four in my re-read of GoF and i noticed this:
Aunt Petunia hurled herself onto the ground beside Dudley, seized the end of his swollen tongue, and attempted to wrench it out of his mouth; unsurprisingly , Dudley yelled and sputtered worse than ever, trying to fight her off. Uncle Vernon was bellowing and waving his arms around, and Mr. Weasley had to shout to make himself heard.
"Not to worry, I can sort him out!" he yelled, advancing on Dudley with his wand outstretched, but Aunt Petunia screamed worse than ever and threw herself on top of Dudley, shielding him from Mr. Weasley.
"No, really!" said Mr. Weasley desperately. "It's a simple process -- it was the tofee -- my son Fred -- real practical joker -- but it's only an Engorgement Charm -- at least, I think it is -- please, I can correct it --"
But far from being reassured, the Durselys became more panic-stricken; Aunt Petunia was sobbing hysterically, tugging Dudley's tongue as though determined to rip it out; Dudley appeared to be suffocating under the combined pressure of his mother and his tongue; and Uncle Vernon, who lost control completely, seized a china figure from on top of the sideboard and threw it very hard at Mr. weasley, who ducked, causeing the ornament to shatter in the blasted fireplace.
"Now really!" said Mr. Weasley angrily, brandishing his wand. "I'm trying to help!"
Bellowing like a wounded hippo, Uncle Vernon snatched up another ornament.
"Harry, go! Just go!" Mr. Weasley shouted, his wand on Uncle Vernon. "I'll sort this out!"
ok, i am wondering how Mr. Weasley plans on sorting this out!!!! from the looks of it, i dont think simple diplomacy will work, because it seems that uncle vernon is beyond talking. also, we see mr. weasley on uncle vernon, and a few lines after i ende dthis quote it says that mr. weasley blasts another ornament out of vernons hand. i was wondering, how do you think Mr. Weasley "sorted this out"?
