Carol responds:

"The missing twenty-four hours" is the way those of us on the main list
refer to the twenty-four hours that Minerva McGonagall spent sitting around
in cat form at 5 Privet Drive waiting for Dumbledore to show up. During that
time, the WW (Wizarding World) is already celebrating Voldemort's defeat and
Harry's survival (with a rather callous disregard for the murders of James
and Lily). 

Hagrid supposedly goes to Godric's Hollow before the Muggle police show up,
digs Harry out of the rubble, and comforts Sirius Black, who has shown up on
his motorcycle. Sirius then lends or gives him the motorcycle and flies with
Harry to the Dursleys, where he arrives nearly twenty-four hours after the
Potters were killed at midnight Halloween night.

So the question is, what were Hagrid and Dumbledore doing all that time? Why
didn't Hagrid arrive on the early morning of November 1 rather than making
McGonagall wait a whole day for him? And how did he manage to tell her he'd
be at the Dursleys, anyway. Did he take Harry back to Hogwarts for a day?

Anyway, readers have mentioned those twenty-four hours to JKR, and she seems
completely puzzled.

I just listed to the Audiobook (decided to load them to my mp3 while I'm
working on our house.) First of all, McGonagall  is there from morning to
night, not 24hrs. She is not there to meet Hagrid or DD, DD plainly states
that he is surprised to see her there and asks why she's not off
celebrating. McGonagall has no idea he is leaving Harry there and she has no
reason other than her own abject curiosity for being there.

The real flaw is that the Muggle police never show up, according to DH,
because they can't see the house!!!. 

The 24hrs is the time of the attack, wording of the attack getting out, DD
summoning Hagrid, Hagrid going, finding Harry, meeting Sirius, traveling to
the Dursely's.

I see no missing 24hrs.
