that JKR is a self-declared math/physics failure. In all these cases, 
I remind myself that this is just a fictional story, and it doesn't 
have to make sense to be enjoyable. Pity, though. One math consultant 
could have made everything look so much more real. On the other hand, 
we already try to walk into the barrier in King's Cross. More real 
could have been extremely dangerous :).
