I agree - it's one of JKR's worse plot devices because so much could go
wrong if it is consulted at the wrong time. If I'm not mistaken - wasn't
Moody shown as prowling the corridors on the MM at one point? How is that
possible? He's locked in a trunk.
Also, if it shows every occupant of the Hogwarts castle, how does it deal
with floors that are on top of each other, or huge crowds of students?
It's not depicted as very big.
