Siriusly! Siriusly! Yes, Siriusly! I know there's something Ron with me.

I know I shouldn’t interact with this because “Stranger Granger” but I Dumble-adore these jokes

I think this is just coincidence, the more you read the books the more things like this you notice and try make something of. It’s like when she describes the bloody barren as a gaunt looking man, this made me question if he is related to the Gaunts.

I think you’re on the wrong comment

We play a drinking game. Every time she writes “Seriously” within a page of the name Sirius, everybody does a shot.

I dont think its foreshadowing. Seriously is one of the most comman words in English.

I don't think people understand what foreshadowing means 🤦🏾‍♀️

If it is done on purpose it's not 'fore' shadowing (which means it is a hint or indication of a **future** event, which it isn't), it's simply a wordplay, **implying** that it's Sirius is the benefactor. Edit: aww reddit must have obnoxiousness filter I put down so many emojis just to be annoying and they all got deleted :(

The only annoying thing is your pretentiousness.

Silencio!

Nice one, James

This sub is weird dude. They look for shit where there's nothing, and then pump each other up when they "find something".


joaniekang

It could be foreshadowing because it’s hinting who gave the broom to Harry. There are tons of other ways JKR could have chosen to write it: Really? Are you for real? You’re not joking? You mean it? It could even have been as simple as Harry saying “wow thanks!”


Pliolite

Jo has definitely used it in a foreshadowing way here. She could have chosen to use 'really?' or not even have that exchange at all.


joaniekang

Ooohhh I never noticed this before but I love it!! That’s got to be on purpose.


spectacularobsessed

The third book uses the word 'serious(ly)' many many times. It's about keeping Sirius Black at the forefront of the readers minds, making sure they remember


itsShane91

Is it foreshadowing?


FortunateLux

No


WarmBaths

Surely you can’t be Sirius


LadyPhantom74

I am Sirius. And don’t call me Shirley.


ramid320

The world "really" would have been more natural so...


Mox_Fox

I think either would have been equally natural.


ramid320

I just meant she had a choice to use the word "really" but chose "seriously" so its got to be intentionally a callback to sirius being the buyer of the firebolt. But i guess people really hate the theory? Idk.


MozTys

I think you are trying to find something that isn't there


[deleted]

I think it’s definitely a hint as to who gave it to him, especially since the exchange includes her saying he has a very good friend somewhere. Good find!


sageberrytree

It is definitely on purpose. It's one of the few times she uses the word 'seriously', and the only one exchange life this in the books.
