In "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" Harry therorizes that Hermione won't tell Ron or himself the identity of her date because he and Rone would, "Take the Mickey our of her if she did" Could some one tell me what this means?

It means to make fun of somebody

take the mickey out of someone: to tease. Mickey represents Mickey Bliss, Cockney rhyming slang for piss. The expression then is a euphemism for take the piss.

Cracked me up reading this! Also an Aussie phrase so we are accustomed to what the poms say.

It means to tease basically. Or as the first guy said taking the piss out of someone.

I'm British and that phrase is very common here.

That means making fun of, or taking the P*I*S*S

It's just a more suttle way to put it.

its when you make fun of someone - joke about them - or tease them about something. Hermione wont tell Ron or harry because she is scared they will joke and make fun about who her date is.
