Explanation:
Like a Block of Edam (Simile)
Immediately before the Quidditch World Cup begins, Rowling describes Ludo Bagman's face as round and "gleaming like a great, excited Edam" (41). Edam is a type of cheese that is typically sealed in a wax coating, thus "gleaming." This simile reinforces Bagman's image as an ineffectual manchild who is unqualified for a high-powered Ministry position, suggesting that his head is as dense and ponderous as a block of cheese
Working like House-Elves (Simile)
When Hermione scolds Harry and Ron for making up their Divination homework, Ron retorts, "We’ve been working like house-elves here!” (90). This simile touches a tender nerve for Hermione, who has just created an organization to promote the enfranchisement and welfare of house-elves.
