Awkward teenage romance features heavily in this chapter, which clearly served as the main inspiration for the makers of the sixth movie. Ron's insecurities both on and off the Quidditch pitch lead to some very unfair and frustrating interactions with Hermione (though it was pretty awful that she probably/might have/could plausibly have snogged Krum two years ago). And as Harry grapples with his purely elder brotherly feelings toward Ginny, we are introduced to a new character who is very emotionally mature: the monster inside his chest.
