How did the sink open up?

Well, Amy, I am glad you love CoS.  There are people who adore Ann 
McCaffery.  I've gotten to the point I can't read her because of her 
terrible continuity problems.  

I do NOT dislike CoS.  However, it is my least favorite because there 
are just too many logic holes requiring too many excuses for me to be 
fully comfortable with the book.  And I agree that Lockhart is too 
broad of a character -- the original one-joke man.  It also annoys me 
that Hermione is deceived by the git to the bitter end.
