Dòng 21:
Harry and Ron's budding sexuality is hinted at here when both become deeply affected by the beautiful and alluring Veela women. Their, as well as their peers, initial interest in the opposite sex continually develops throughout the series, with both humorous and poignant outcomes. Harry and Ron will pursue several relationships, although Ron, somewhat less sophisticated and mature than Harry and Hermione, will have a particularly difficult time understanding romance. Harry is also awkward and insecure, however, and he, Ron, and the other students have not yet learned the difference between true love and mere infatuation, or how jealousy and sexual politics further complicates relationships. Also, although Harry, Ron, and virtually every other male in the stands are deeply affected by the seductive Veela, Harry is shocked when he later sees that their true physical form is actually unattractive, sporting angular bird-like facial features and scaly wings. Harry is gradually learning that outer beauty is not only superficial, but it can also mask an uglier reality.
 
Ron's insistence on paying Harry for the Omnioculars, even though Harry gave them as a gift, is a matter of deep pride to Ron, whose family can barely afford minimal necessities. Ron must often do without even the smallest luxuries or extras that most take for granted. Now he feels somewhat vindicated that, for once, he is able to pay his own way with the gold the Leprechauns tossed into the stands. However, Ron's gesture will later backfire and cause him additional distress and embarrassment, as well as affect his friendship with Harry. But even though Ron is often resentful that he must often go without, it has actually shaped his character in a positive way. As Ron matures, he will never feel that he is owed anything he cannot earn himself or that he is rightfully due; this is a stark contrast to many Slytherins who believe they are entitled to whatever they want based solely on what they consider is their superior lineage and, social rank, and wealth, rather than through talent, ability, and hard work. Readers will recall that Draco Malfoy became the Slytherin Seeker (in Chamber of Secrets) only after his father, Lucius Malfoy, bought the team new broomsticks, not because Draco earned the position on his.
 
While sitting in the stands, Harry also notices Crouch's House-elf, Winky, who, in the next chapter, will play a significant role in the plot.
