There is a Surprisingly Dirty Joke in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
So much for being a story for children, huh?
The Harry Potter saga is probably the last story where one expects to find innuendos or even hints at something sexual. And yet, here we are, about to tell you that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince book has a sex joke.
You might have not given it enough thought or just missed it by chance, but it was right there. Remember when Hermione was helping Ron with his homework that he had done with the use of something Fred and George gave him? Oh yes, never trust a spell-checker crafted by the Weasley twins.
At some point, Hermione highlights to Ron: "oh and 'augury' doesn't begin with 'O-R-G'". And yes, that was exactly the word you're thinking of. However, some pure-hearted Redditors argued that was simply the word "orgury" and Hermione "only mentions the first half of the word is spelled wrong, so it's implied the rest of the word is spelled correctly."
Yes, but what about that "it's not all about wandwork, either" in the Deathly Hallows book line by Ron Weasley? In this case, he was surprisingly referring to something Fred-and-George-related once again, when the twins gave him a copy of the book Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches.
"I love how a subtle dirty joke is snuck in throughout the book," Redditor Not_a_cat_I_promise smirked.
Some fans argued that "teenagers will always be teenagers, regardless of the era", and it's nice of Harry Potter being able to relate to fans on that level as well.
After all, it was simply about the word "orgury", right? Some of us really do need to sort out our priorities...
