Badge Day!
Today people will start wearing the "Support Cedric Diggory" badges. So the question is: who is wearing them?

In my case, Cormac thinks anyone wearing those badges is a moron, Hamish is interested until he learns of the "Potter stinks!" extra, and Samir is feeling very tempted because, well, Cedric IS the real champion.

It's also day of the Weighing of the Wands, which means the champions will be called from their first afternoon class (if they have said class, obviously) in order to be questioned by Ollivander and pestered by Rita Skeeter. Fun times.

otoh, the one thing the Creeveys DID manage to do when messing with the badges was get them stuck on just one message, so maybe that's easier?

ALSO, when Malfoy first shows Harry the badge, he presses on it to make it change from one message to the other, which to me implies that the badges don't automatically change but rather that they require the wearer to press on them

	Well, technically we don't know if the message got stuck when the Creeveys tampered with it. I went back to the chapter, and what it actually says is: "Nearby, on a table, the Support Cedric Diggory! badges the Creeveys had been trying to improve were glinting in the firelight. They now read POTTER REALLY STINKS." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was referring to the part that says: "The Creevey brothers had managed to get hold of a stack of Support Cedric Diggory! badges and were trying to bewitch them to make them say Support Harry Potter! instead. So far, however, all they had managed to do was get the badges stuck on POTTER STINKS." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right, I ended up skipping that part, for some reason. Still, it shows that they ended up doing it by accident, so perhaps it's not as much a matter of it being easier as it is something that just happened? (Reply to this) (Parent)
