(This is a joke I heard a couple years ago, modified to fit the Harry Potter universe. I hope you don't mind. I mean, I thought it was pretty funny.)

There was once a quidditch obsessed healer who, on one of his rare days off, bought a ticket to see a match of the sport. Sitting in his front row seat, something very perculiar caught his eye. A hag (not one of the best looking people he had ever seen, but he stared nonetheless) and what was apparently her Mimbulus Mimbletonia enjoying the game. The plant would shake its leaves when the English scored, and droop when the Irish did. It would lean forward when the game was intense, and slouch as much (as a plant could) when it became boring. Sometimes it would even move the top part of it's body when the seekers would zip by as if it had eyes. The healer thought this was the most confusing and amazing thing he had ever seen.

When the match ended, he approached the hag and her plant. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help notice your remarkable plant. It's behavior completely baffles me!" he said.

"I'm surprised as well," replied the hag. "It hated reading about the sport."
