HARRY POTTER - FLAWS

Harry gets caught as he performed Magic in a muggle area. It is mentioned that the Ministry traces any sign of Magic performed in the Muggle Area.
How come Lupin and Tonks were not caught when they did Magic in the Dursleys place???

In Book 5 harry could see Thestrals because he had seen Cedric die. But remember that at the end of Part 4, it was written Harry turned at the horseless carriages and he had witnessed Cedric's death.
Also, Harry had also seen his mother die right in front of him (remember that Harry mentions "a lot of green light" to Ron in Book 1 and also he remembers the Last words of his Dad and Mom when the Dememtors were near him during the Patronus lessons with Lupin so we can't say that the death has not sunk into him or thatt he didn't remember)

Hermione says that she had practiced a few spells and had got them all right, wasn't she warned for underage magic?

Percy docks 5 points from Gryffindor in the 2nd Book. How come Ron and Hermione metion that Prefects can't dock points in Book 5?

Wand Maker,Ollivander's says that the wand chooses the wizard. So how come Mrs. Malfoy could've bought a wand while he was in Madam Malkin buying his school clothes?


If Kreacher couldn't obey Tonks because she was not in the family tree, why obey Sirius if he is not in the family tree either?

No one apparate inside or out of Hogwarts. then how did Montague apparate out of the vanishing cabinet in book 6?

maybe cause they r qualified whereas harry is not...

In Book 5 harry could see Thestrals because he had seen Cedric die. But remember that at the end of Part 4, it was written Harry turned at the horseless carriages and he had witnessed Cedric's death.

they r referred as horseless carriages maybe cause thts wht they r to us n to the other students... its mentioned he turned to the horseless carriage cause thts wht they r known as... even though lead by threstles...


Also, Harry had also seen his mother die right in front of him (remember that Harry mentions "a lot of green light" to Ron in Book 1 and also he remembers the Last words of his Dad and Mom when the Dememtors were near him during the Patronus lessons with Lupin so we can't say that the death has not sunk into him or thatt he didn't remember)

yep he has seen his mother die... but the fact remains he was a baby then... n well 13 yr olds or even older dont remember much of wht they saw when they were babies... as for the memories... they r brought to him because of the dementors.... so its not tht harry actually remembers it... i mean he didnt have these memories before book 3... so its like the dementors have given him these n thts why he remembers them now...

Hermione says that she had practiced a few spells and had got them all right, wasn't she warned for underage magic?

i think those were a few basic spells... as even harry doesnt get caught in the 3rd for using lumos... so prolly underage students can use basic harmless spells... though this cud b a flaw...

Percy docks 5 points from Gryffindor in the 2nd Book. How come Ron and Hermione metion that Prefects can't dock points in Book 5?

yep... thts a goof up...

Wand Maker,Ollivander's says that the wand chooses the wizard. So how come Mrs. Malfoy could've bought a wand while he was in Madam Malkin buying his school clothes?

yep... its true tht a wand chooses its master... but i guess they can use a different wand too... as ron was using an old wand one of the 'hand me downs' as he says... n then later his new wand too is bought by his mom i think...


If Kreacher couldn't obey Tonks because she was not in the family tree, why obey Sirius if he is not in the family tree either?

maybe cause sirius is direct blood...

flaw prolly

Lupin n Tonks are adults in the wizarding world..n esp Tonks is an Auror... the Wizarding statute of secrecy states tht only under-age wizards n witches(below 17 yrs) can't do magic in muggles areas. But except extra-ordinary situations, u shouldn't want to do magic infront of muggles...but the dursleys were away at tht time..

In Book 5 harry could see Thestrals because he had seen Cedric die. But remember that at the end of Part 4, it was written Harry turned at the horseless carriages and he had witnessed Cedric's death.
Also, Harry had also seen his mother die right in front of him (remember that Harry mentions "a lot of green light" to Ron in Book 1 and also he remembers the Last words of his Dad and Mom when the Dememtors were near him during the Patronus lessons with Lupin so we can't say that the death has not sunk into him or thatt he didn't remember)

Well JKR just said that Cedric's death was yet to affect Harry fully...and after the summer holidays when Harry had moped about in Privet Drive...remembering Cedric's death...he was haunted by it now and so he could see the thestrals. The same goes for the Potters' murder...he was a baby when it happened and he wasn't allowed to even talk abt his parents for 10 yrs with dursleys...so it didn't affect him emotionally...tht much

Hermione says that she had practiced a few spells and had got them all right, wasn't she warned for underage magic?

I guess the minor spells wuldn't count..plus I think she might have tried it out on the Hogwarts Express too

Percy docks 5 points from Gryffindor in the 2nd Book. How come Ron and Hermione metion that Prefects can't dock points in Book 5?

JKR mentioned in her interviews that Ron was wrong about it...Ron didn't know tht Prefects can dock points

Wand Maker,Ollivander's says that the wand chooses the wizard. So how come Mrs. Malfoy could've bought a wand while he was in Madam Malkin buying his school clothes?

Yeah it does...but doesen't mean that if u use another wand...ur gonna end up doing poor magic. So it's prolly not tht important.. n the Malfoy's always deem themselves above normal ppl😉


If Kreacher couldn't obey Tonks because she was not in the family tree, why obey Sirius if he is not in the family tree either?

Coz whatever happened...even though Sirius was blasted off the family tree...he was the only alive, direct male heir of the Black family..I guess the Blacks only considered male heirs..And once Sirius inherited Grimmauld place..Kreacher comes with the house so he had to obey Sirius..but Tonks is not even directly connected to the Blacks.

No one apparate inside or out of Hogwarts. then how did Montague apparate out of the vanishing cabinet in book 6?


I guess Montague was not in Hogwarts...the vanishing cabinet takes u someplace weird..a random place I guess...but def. not Hogwarts..so he could apparate
