Beauxbatons Students Struggle with the Cold

PAGES: 249-251

The Beauxbatons students, looking cold and glum, choose to sit at the Ravenclaw table. Hermione Granger defends the weather, criticizing them for not bringing cloaks. One of the Beauxbatons girls derisively laughs at Dumbledore's speech, which irritates Hermione. The feast begins, and Ron is impressed by the exotic dishes, though he avoids trying the French dish Hermione describes, bouillabaisse.
