3.16.1 Review
There weren't any big problems in this category, just a few minor
adjustments.
3.16.1.1 Bathrooms & loos
---------------------------
Originally: 33
Now: 30
New description:
Existance and location of bathrooms (general or specific), plumbing
and sewage at Hogwarts, discussion of how and when the Chamber of
Secrets became connected to Myrtle's bathroom.
3.16.1.2 Room of Requirement
----------------------------
Originally: 15
Now: 17
New description:
Predictions for the room JKR would like to visit (which we now know
to be the Room of Requirement), discussion of location, magical
properties, etc.
Side note: At this point there is nothing here except predictions,
but I assume discussion will occur after OoP.
3.16.1.3 Library
----------------------------
Originally: 6
Now: 6
New description:
Rules, checkout policies, resources available, etc.
3.16.1.4 Hogwarts' defences
----------------------------
Originally: 32
Now: 28
New description:
What type of travel is possible into, out of, and within Howarts?
How safe is Hogwarts? Discussion of the portkey in the Third Task
and wy it was used.
Side note: What's up with the backslashes? Seems to be an issue with
a lot of apostrophes in the category list (an unnecessary escape
character, perhaps?), but it's really going overboard here. :) And
not to be a pedant (oh, who am I kidding), but shouldn't it be
Hogwarts', not Hogwart's?
3.16.1 Layout of Hogwarts
----------------------------
Originally: 72
Now: 67
Location of various rooms in Hogwarts (unless a subcategory exists
for that room), size and layout of the castle and the grounds.
Final side note: I've come across post #18792 (Red Flags, Red
Herrings) and its replies while reviewing several categories. I
personally think it belongs only in 1.2.7.6 Forshadowing, clues, &
misdirection, rather than the billion codes it currently holds. It's
a list-type post, theorizing what details might be clues, and really
doesn't contribute anything substantial to the subcategories
discussed. Would anyone be opposed to my changing it as such?
And I will leave tou with a priceless quote by Marina that I came
across in a post discussing the Slytherin common room decor:
'Great; now I have mental image of Snape sweeping into the staff room
crying, "Oh, I just saw the most *marvelous* window treatment!"'
